strategies employed – risks and opportunities identification FLOOD RISKS MANAGEMENT An increasing consideraঞon is the effect of climate change on landbank, notably exposure to physical risks. Flash flood risks are the most common consideraঞon, followed by water scarcity and rising temperatures. Other consideraঞons include possibility of landslides. Sea level rise (“SLR”) is less of a consideraঞon as Matrix’s landbank is typically not located by the sea/shore. In addressing floods, Matrix relies on the Urban Stormwater Management Manual for Malaysia (“MSMA”). The Group has undertaken all measures to miঞgate against increased rainfall. These include full compliance with stormwater management strategies under the MSMA requirements for drainage and irrigaঞon towards prevenঞng risks of flooding on all construcঞon sites and property development projects. This includes developing larger drainage and irrigaঞon channels, providing sufficient space for water retenঞon ponds to prevent flooding, assessing all land acquired and to be acquired for landbank for flood risks and more. To the best of the Group’s knowledge, none of its operaঞonal sites are located in 100-year flood zones. In FY2025, none of the Group’s landbank were affected by climate-related physical impacts such as flash floods, which had affected development plans or caused damages to landbank. BIODIVERSITY RISKS Other consideraঞons include biodiversity aspects of the landbank; that is if land parcels have high biodiversity conservaঞon value (“HCV”) or is adjacent or within close proximity to areas deemed to be of high HCV, environmentally sensiঞve or protected. Presently, a contained biodiversity risks assessment and study is being conducted within the BSS township to uncover biodiversity risks and opportuniঞes. If landbank or parts of it is deemed to be of HCV, then development plans may require adjustments to retain HCV or to preserve IUCN Red List species. Construcঞon methods and land use plans may be altered to accommodate biodiversity. If required environmental and social impacts assessments are conducted as part of the development plans for landbank. LOCATION ACRES Negeri Sembilan 2,698 Kuala Lumpur Selangor 16.5 Australia 0.6 Johor 455.8 Others 5.4 In FY2025, 1,324.2 acres of landbank located in the MVV development has been leased to a plantaঞon company. This has generated over RM1.2 million in rental revenue, providing Matrix with stable, recurring revenues. 101 MATRIX CONCEPTS HOLDINGS BERHAD INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2025 05 VALUE CREATION STRATEGIC REVIEW
