Its revenue is dependent on wining competitive tenders or quotations or direct awards, which are influenced by factors such as pricing competitiveness, service quality, and strength of relationships with customers. Therefore, the group’s earnings might be uneven or lumpy depending on the timing and scale of projects completed in each financial period.  - Kin Global’s business is significantly dependent on the continued services of its key management personnel comprising its Executive Directors and Executive Officers, including their ability to leverage personal and historical working relationships with customers to secure future projects, as well as their ability to apply creative and event management expertise critical to the commercial success and reception of its projects. - Kin Global is reliant on third-party subcontractors and suppliers for both its events delivery and management services business and its design and build services business and may be affected by disruptions in supply from such subcontractors and suppliers.   **Financials & Valuation** - Kin Global’s operations are mainly in Singapore, which contributes to more than 80% of its total revenue since FY2022. The group also provided services to customers in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Denmark, and other countries. - For the nine months ended 30 Sep 2025, Kin Global posted strong growth in revenue and net profit attributable to owners of the company as compared to the previous year.
