DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT Our performance was spearheaded by an incredibly successful turnaround story at SilTerra Malaysia Sdn Bhd (“SilTerra”), which we had acquired together with Beijing Integrated Circuit Advanced Manufacturing and High-End Equipment Equity Investment Fund Center (Limited Partnership) (“CGP Fund”) in July 2021. SilTerra recording its highest annual revenue and profit performance in history dovetailed with a robust performance from our Energy Division, where we increased our stake in Ping Petroleum Limited (“Ping”) to 90 per cent and benefitted from a spike in crude oil prices, to help us more than triple our annual revenue and profit after tax from RM330.50 million and RM68.63 million in FY2020/2021 to RM1,457.38 million and RM707.27 million in FY2022 respectively. Not only do these results give credence to the transformational strategies that we have employed, but they provide a solid financial foundation upon which we may now begin to vigilantly undertake expansion and growth plans across all industry segments in which we have established our presence, as well as into new emerging sectors that reflect our growing global ambitions. “WE ARE PLEASED TO HAVE DELIVERED A HIGHLY ROBUST FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCEINFY2022.THETRANSFORMATIONAL JOURNEY THAT WE EMBARKED UPON IN FY2020/2021 HAS SEEN US SUCCESSFULLY EXPAND AND CONSOLIDATE OUR OPERATIONS WITHIN HIGH-VALUE INDUSTRYSECTORSWITHLONG-TERM GROWTH POTENTIAL, AND WE ARE BEGINNING TO REAP THE FRUITS OF OUR LABOUR ASWE ACHIEVED RECORD REVENUE AND PROFITS OVER THE LAST FINANCIAL YEAR.
