GROUP CEO’S MESSAGE (CONT’D) MACROECONOMIC AND GEOPOLITICAL RISKS We remain mindful of the evolving macroeconomic and geopolitical landscape in the markets we serve, particularly in light of the heightened tensions in the Middle East which intensified in early 2026. While the situation remains fluid, we are closely monitoring developments and proactively assessing any potential impact on our operations and overall business outlook. At present, our operations have not experienced any material disruption arising from the situation, and our vessels continue to operate as normal. Nevertheless, we recognise that any prolonged instability may give rise to broader external challenges, including volatility in energy prices, potential disruptions to logistics and supply chains, increased operating costs, as well as potential impacts on revenue derived from the region. In response, we have implemented precautionary measures to mitigate potential risks, while ensuring the safety and well-being of our employees and crew members remain a top priority. DRIVING OPERATIONAL SUSTAINABILITY As part of our ongoing efforts to advance sustainable operations and responsible energy practices, we continue to pursue green energy initiatives that strengthen operational efficiency while reducing our environmental footprint. A key milestone in FYE 2025 was the installation of a 121.2 kWp solar hybrid system integrated with a BESS onboard Keyfield Wisdom, our largest vessel. This system reduces reliance on onboard generator sets, thereby lowering fuel consumption, reduces carbon emissions and improves operating cost efficiency. This initiative was recognised by the Malaysia Book of Records for having the most solar panels with battery storage onboard an offshore vessel, underscoring our commitment to embedding sustainable practices into our fleet operations. SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITIES We view corporate social responsibility (“CSR”) as an essential component of sustainable business growth, extending beyond financial performance to create positive social and community impact. Guided by our core values of Respect, Integrity, Contentment and Humanity, together with our CSR motto, “Keriangan Berkongsi” (The Joys of Sharing), we remain committed to contributing meaningfully to the communities in which we operate. In FYE 2025, we allocated over RM360,000 towards CSR initiatives, delivering support to 33 beneficiaries across Malaysia. These efforts focused primarily on education and youth development, community welfare and support for underserved families aimed at supporting underserved communities and strengthening social well-being. Further information on our CSR initiatives and activities is available in the Sustainability Statement within this Annual Report. PROTECTING OUR PEOPLE AND ENVIRONMENT Health, safety and environmental management remains a critical component of our Group’s operations, particularly given the inherent risks associated with offshore operations, including remote working environments and exposure to harsh marine conditions. We continue to implement robust safety and environmental management practices to protect our workforce and minimise operational risks. These efforts were reflected in our safety performance for FYE 2025, where we maintained zero fatalities and zero lost time injuries across all operational activities, demonstrating the effectiveness of our safety management systems and operational discipline. Our commitment to safety was further recognised through multiple industry awards and acknowledgements from key stakeholders, including the Best ACT Award and a Certificate of Achievement in the category of Safety Award - Finalist Upstream Category, both from Shell Malaysia. On the environmental front, in line with ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 standards, we continue to conduct Environmental Aspect and Impact Assessments across our operations to ensure ongoing compliance and environmental performance, reinforcing our commitment to safe and sustainable operational practices. DELIVERING ABOVE-TARGET DIVIDEND RETURNS As part of our commitment to creating shareholder value, I am pleased to report that we declared a total dividend of 9.0 sen per ordinary share for FYE 2025, amounting to a total of RM72.6 million and representing a dividend payout ratio of 51.0% of our PATAMI. This exceeds both our target payout ratio of 20.0% and the previous year’s payout ratio of 38.9%. 20 KEYFIELD INTERNATIONAL BERHAD 202001038989 (1395310-M)
