PART B: EXPLANATORY NOTES PURSUANT TO APPENDIX 9B OF THE LISTING REQUIREMENTS OF BURSA SECURITIES
B1. Review of Group Performance
Financial review of the first quarter ended 31 March 2026 ("Q1 FY2026") compared with the corresponding quarter in Financial Year 2025 ("Q1 FY2025")
| Q1 FY2026 | Q1 FY2025 | Change % | |
|---|---|---|---|
| RM'000 | RM'000 | ||
| Revenue | 140,082 | 173,087 | -19 |
| (Loss)/Profit Before Interest and Tax | (9,728) | 2,428 | -501 |
| (Loss)/Profit Before Tax | (12,698) | 17 | -74,794 |
The Group's revenue for Q1 FY2026 decreased by 19% compared to Q1 FY2025. Of the RM140.08 million revenue recorded in Q1 FY2026, approximately 98% was generated from the manufacturing segment while the remaining 2% came from its property development and construction segments. These percentages in Q1 FY2025 were 98% and 2% respectively. No external revenue was recorded by the investment holding segment in both these quarters.
The manufacturing segment registered a revenue of RM137.92 million in Q1 FY2026, a decrease of 19% as compared to Q1 FY2025 which registered a revenue of RM169.81 million. This decrease was mainly attributable to a 12% reduction in shipment volumes, primarily in the export of coated fin products to the Asia market. In addition, revenue was further impacted by the weakening of the USD currency vis-à-vis the Ringgit Malaysia; the USD currency was approximately 11% weaker in Q1 FY2026 versus Q1 FY2025.
No revenue was recorded by the property development segment in both Q1 FY2026 and Q1 FY2025. This was attributable to the maiden EmHub project having fully sold its remaining inventories in Q2 FY2025. The upcoming mixed development project at Bandar Baru Klang is currently undergoing the relevant authority approval processes and is expected to be launched upon obtaining the necessary approvals.
Meanwhile, the construction segment's external revenue registered a decrease from RM3.56 million in Q1 FY2025 to RM2.31 million in Q1 FY2026, mainly attributable to its roofing and cladding projects.

B1. Review of Group Performance (continued)
Financial review of the first quarter ended 31 March 2026 ("Q1 FY2026") compared with the corresponding quarter in Financial Year 2025 ("Q1 FY2025") (continued)
The Group registered a loss before tax of RM12.70 million in Q1 FY2026 as compared to Q1 FY2025's profit before tax of RM0.02 million. The segmental breakdown was as follows:
| Q1 FY2026 | Q1 FY2025 | Change % | |
|---|---|---|---|
| RM'000 | RM'000 | ||
| Manufacturing Segment | (11,389) | 1,162 | -1,080 |
| Property Development Segment | (985) | (638) | 54 |
| Construction Segment | 1,554 | 1,699 | -9 |
| Investment Holding Segment | (345) | (357) | -3 |
| Inter-Segment Elimination | (1,533) | (1,849) | -17 |
| Group Total | (12,698) | 17 | -74,794 |
The manufacturing segment registered a loss before tax of RM11.39 million in Q1 FY2026, compared to a profit before tax of RM1.16 million in Q1 FY2025. This loss was mainly attributable to lower revenue arising from reduced sales volumes, the weakening of the USD against the Ringgit Malaysia, as well as lower contribution resulting from a lower-margin product mix in Q1 FY2026.
The property development segment recorded a loss before tax of RM0.99 million in Q1 FY2026, compared to a loss before tax of RM0.64 million in Q1 FY2025. The slightly higher loss was mainly due to higher marketing expenses incurred in Q1 FY2026.
For the construction segment, profit before tax decreased slightly to RM1.55 million in Q1 FY2026 from RM1.70 million in Q1 FY2025. The segment's performance continued to be supported by the ongoing construction of the Group's internal manufacturing facility expansion project, along with its roofing and cladding projects.
B2. Financial review of the first quarter ended 31 March 2026 ("Q1 FY2026") compared with the immediate preceding quarter ended 31 December 2025 ("Q4 FY2025")
| Q1 FY2026 | Q4 FY2025 | Change % | |
|---|---|---|---|
| RM'000 | RM'000 | ||
| Revenue | 140,082 | 124,543 | 12 |
| Loss Before Interest and Tax | (9,728) | (19,372) | -50 |
| Loss Before Tax | (12,698) | (21,830) | -42 |
The Group recorded a revenue of RM140.08 million in Q1 FY2026 which was higher by 12% as compared to the revenue of RM124.54 million registered in Q4 FY2025. This increase was largely attributable to the manufacturing segment.

B2. Financial review of the first quarter ended 31 March 2026 ("Q1 FY2026") compared with the immediate preceding quarter ended 31 December 2025 ("Q4 FY2025") (continued)
The manufacturing segment registered a revenue of RM137.92 million in Q1 FY2026, representing an increase of 15% compared to RM119.75 million in Q4 FY2025. This increase was attributable to higher shipments as well as base metal price which trended higher. Shipment volume surged 15%, mainly driven by exports of coated fin products to the Asia market. The base metal price which is denominated in USD comprising aluminium prices quoted on the London Metal Exchange and transport premium was also higher by 11% in Q1 FY2026 versus Q4 FY2025. No external revenue was recorded in the investment holding segment.
No revenue was recorded by the property development segment in both Q1 FY2026 and Q4 FY2025. This was attributable to the maiden EmHub project having fully sold its remaining inventories in Q2 FY2025, driven by strong market demand.
For the construction segment, external revenue decreased to RM2.31 million in Q1 FY2026 from RM9.92 million in Q4 FY2025, mainly due to lower progress billings from its roofing and cladding projects following the successful completion of several projects.

The property development segment recorded a loss before tax of RM0.99 million in Q1 FY2026, compared to a loss before tax of RM1.69 million Q4 FY2025. The lower loss was mainly due to reduced administrative expenses in Q1 FY2026.

B3. Commentary on Prospects
According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in its April 2026 World Economic Outlook, global growth is projected to moderate to 3.1% in 2026, reflecting softer global demand, heightened trade tensions and increased policy uncertainty across major economies. While monetary conditions have become less restrictive in certain markets, the global operating environment remains exposed to geopolitical risks, supply chain disruptions and shifts in trade and investment flows. Against this backdrop, business conditions are expected to remain mixed, with cautious sentiment likely to persist across export-oriented sectors amid continued external uncertainties.
For the Group's export-oriented manufacturing segment, the operating environment continues to be influenced by external market volatility, particularly fluctuations in foreign exchange, global pricing dynamics and evolving trade conditions in key export markets. Although a weaker USD may help moderate certain raw material costs, the corresponding impact on export revenue conversion into Ringgit may continue to exert pressure on overall margin performance. Notwithstanding these challenges, the Group remains focused on strengthening customer relationships and broadening market reach. With the Group's manufacturing facility expansion project scheduled for completion and commercialisation in 2026, productivity and operational efficiency are expected to improve significantly, thereby enhancing competitiveness, profitability, long-term strategic growth and sustainability. By reinforcing operational discipline, improving productivity and maintaining prudent cost management, the Group aims to navigate the evolving business landscape while positioning itself to capture opportunities as global economic conditions gradually stabilise.
Meanwhile, Malaysia's property market is expected to record steady and moderate growth in 2026, supported by underlying demand for well-located properties in established areas. However, heightened global uncertainties, particularly arising from geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, have introduced new challenges to the operating environment. These tensions have led to rising oil prices, resulting in increased transportation, material production and machinery operating costs, thereby exerting upward pressure on overall development costs. Despite these headwinds, the property development segment remains cautiously optimistic on its outlook for 2026.
As previously reported, the Building Plan application for the proposed mixed-development project on Lot 117427 in Bukit Raja, Klang has been submitted, and approval from the local council remains pending. The property development segment continues to engage with the relevant authorities to facilitate the approval process.
The property development segment continues to actively monitor the evolving environment, including geopolitical developments and their impact on material and construction costs. At the same time, the property development segment remains committed to delivering competitive, well-designed and differentiated property products that address evolving market needs. This commitment, coupled with the strategic development of its landbank, is expected to support sustainable growth and profitability over the medium to long term.
