PART B – EXPLANATORY NOTES PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 9, APPENDIX 9B OF THE LISTING REQUIREMENTS OF BURSA MALAYSIA SECURITIES BERHAD

B1. Review of Performance

For the current financial quarter ended 31 March 2026 (“1Q2026”), the Group recorded revenue of RM191.01 million, compared to RM169.79 million in the preceding year’s corresponding quarter ended 31 March 2025 (“1Q2025”). Revenue for 1Q2026 was mainly contributed by the building division at RM102.63 million, followed by the civil engineering and infrastructure division at RM84.19 million, and the renewable energy division at RM4.19 million.

The Group’s profit before tax (“PBT”) improved to RM8.81 million, compared with RM2.02 million in 1Q2025. This was mainly attributable to a significantly higher level of construction activities from the civil engineering and infrastructure division, following the completion of lower margin contracts in the financial year 2025. In addition, lower finance costs contributed to improved profitability during the financial quarter.

B2. Comparison with Immediate Preceding Quarter’s Results

INDIVIDUAL QUARTER VARIANCE
Unaudited Current Quarter 31.03.2026 RM’000 Unaudited Preceding Quarter 31.12.2025 RM’000 RM’000 %
Revenue 191,008 208,413 (17,405) (8.35)
PBT 8,809 9,341 (532) (5.70)

The Group recorded revenue of RM191.01 million in 1Q2026, representing a decrease of RM17.40 million or 8.35% compared to RM208.41 million in the immediate preceding quarter ended 31 December 2025 (“4Q2025”). The decrease was mainly due to the completion of several construction contracts in the financial year 2025 while newly secured contracts were still in the early stages of construction.

The Group registered a PBT of RM8.81 million in 1Q2026 as compared to RM9.34 million in 4Q2025, a slight decrease of RM0.53 million in 1Q2026.

PART B – EXPLANATORY NOTES PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 9, APPENDIX 9B OF THE LISTING REQUIREMENTS OF BURSA MALAYSIA SECURITIES BERHAD (CONTINUED)

B3. Prospects and Outlook

Moving into 2026, the global economic landscape continues to navigate heightened trade tensions arising from US tariff policies, escalating conflicts in the Middle East, and broader geopolitical uncertainties. Nevertheless, Malaysia's domestic fundamentals remain resilient, with the Economic Outlook 2026, published by the Ministry of Finance, projecting GDP growth of 4.0% to 4.5% with the construction sector expected to expand by 6.1% in 2026. This growth trajectory is expected to be supported by the sustained implementation of major infrastructure projects and the government's continued focus on development expenditure.

The residential buildings subsector is expected to benefit from government-led affordable housing programmes and targeted home ownership initiatives under the Thirteenth Malaysia Plan, alongside new private sector developments. This presents opportunities for the Group to strengthen the Group's portfolio in the residential construction segment.

Nonetheless, the operating environment remains challenging due to higher construction and transportation costs, as well as the expanded service tax regime implemented on 1 July 2025, which may impact project costs, cash flow and margins, particularly for fixed-price contracts. The Group has implemented mitigation measures, including incorporating tax pass-through and price escalation clauses in new contracts, strengthening cash-flow management, and leveraging available exemptions and relief measures.

B4. Variance of Actual Profit from Forecast Profit

The Group did not issue any profit forecast or profit guarantee in the current financial quarter under review.
