FRONTKEN CORPORATION BERHAD 200401012517 (651020-T) ANNUAL REPORT 2025 15 CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE (CONT’D) LOOKING AHEAD As we enter 2026, Frontken marks its 30th anniversary of establishment. Over the past three decades, the Group has evolved from a specialised surface treatment provider into a trusted partner within the global semiconductor manufacturing supply chain – a testament to the dedication of our people, the trust of our customers and the continued support of our shareholders. The Group remains focused on strengthening its position as a provider of advanced precision cleaning and surface treatment solutions. The structural drivers of semiconductor demand including digitalisation, electrification, artificial intelligence and advanced manufacturing continue to support long-term industry growth. At the same time, increasing process complexity and tighter contamination standards further reinforce the value of our services within the ecosystem. The Group will continue to prioritise operational efficiency, automation and selective capacity expansion to support customer ramp-ups while maintaining margin discipline. Investment decisions will remain measured and aligned with demand visibility to support sustainable growth. We will continue to evaluate opportunities that complement our technical capabilities and strengthen our long-term positioning with a disciplined approach to risk, capital allocation and value creation. While global economic uncertainties and geopolitical developments remain factors to monitor, the Group’s strong balance sheet, recurring business model and long-standing customer relationships provide a resilient foundation. We remain cautiously optimistic about the year ahead and are confident in our ability to navigate evolving market conditions.
