2 LEADERSHIP INSIGHTS 35 LOOKING FORWARD As we look ahead to FY2026 and beyond, ongoing volatility, geopolitical uncertainty and elevated cost pressures are likely to remain key factors shaping investment behaviour and operating decisions of asset owners across our markets. We are also keeping a close, vigilant eye on the developments in the Middle East and the impact to our operations there. Even in this environment, we continue to see opportunity alongside challenge. With forward-looking investments in IFM technology and sustainability-focused solutions now embedded within our operating model, we are better positioned to deliver the performance, efficiency and sustainability outcomes increasingly valued by clients. The progress we have made on this front supports our efforts to restore profitability, which remains a priority and will require continued discipline and focus across the Group. Our approach moving forward is anchored around three core priorities: Adapt - Focusing on agility and responsiveness. Adapting to changing markets, customer needs, and operational realities. Streamlining to stay competitive and resilient. Align - Pursuing cohesion and integration across the organisation. Ensuring resources and priorities are aligned to the company’s strategic direction. Embedding governance, accountability, and performance culture. Advance - Achieving momentum and progress. Driving margin enhancement and focused growth in core markets and services. Moving forward with confidence and purpose. Underlying these priorities is a continued shift towards outcome-based value creation, moving from transactional, project-based engagements to longer-term partnerships aligned with asset performance and client outcomes. This shift is central to strengthening our competitiveness and differentiation over the long term. Alongside these priorities, we remain closely aligned with regulatory and policy developments shaping demand across our sectors. In Malaysia, initiatives such as the Public-Private Partnership Masterplan 2030 are expected to unlock significant infrastructure investment, creating opportunities for us to reinforce position in national infrastructure projects. Meanwhile, sustainability-focused frameworks, including the NETR and the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (“EECA”), will continue to support low-carbon transitions and expand demand for sustainable facilities management solutions. Internationally, long-term development programmes such as Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and Dubai’s 2040 Urban Master Plan are driving demand for scalable, technology-enabled facilities management. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Having sharpened our focus for the next phase of the Group’s journey, we are at an important juncture, and it is an appropriate moment to recognise the collective effort that has brought us to this point. I would like to thank our employees for their professionalism, resilience and commitment throughout a demanding year. Their dedication, adaptability and focus ensured continuity of service, supported our clients through change and upheld the standards expected of UEM Edgenta during a period of heightened pressure. I am also grateful to our clients and partners for their continued trust and collaboration, and to our shareholders for their support as we refined our priorities and strengthened the foundations of the business. With greater clarity, stronger capabilities and a sharper focus now in place, we are well positioned to pursue sustainable value creation over the long term. SHAIFUL SUBHAN Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer At an important juncture for the Group, I am encouraged by the commitment of our teams and the confidence of our stakeholders as we strengthen the business for the years ahead.
