SASBADI HOLDINGS BERHAD 28 Sasbadi’s FYE 31 August 2026 Core Strategies: Management Discussion and Analysis meticulously curated to reflect local pedagogical needs, cultural sensitivities and ethical considerations. This proprietary data foundation positions the Group to spearhead the development of next-generation AI-powered education tools that are both safe and purpose-built for Malaysian students and educators. Importantly, this curated data repository serves as a natural barrier to entry and a key competitive advantage, enabling the creation of a ring-fenced, responsible and education-specific LLM that prioritises accuracy, relevance and learner safety. Beyond domestic deployment, the Group also sees longerterm potential to leverage this LLM for selected international markets seeking high-quality, education-focused datasets for AI training, in line with regional and global shifts toward AIdriven learning ecosystems. In the area of digital education, the Group will place strong emphasis on the continued enhancement of its flagship AIenabled digital learning platform, Ace-it, in the FYE 2026 and beyond. The platform was prominently showcased at the MOE’s Super Booth during the ASEAN AI Malaysia Summit 2025 (12–13 August 2025) and is currently being implemented under the national AI-Powered Classroom Pilot Project, which runs from August 2025 to March 2026. While Ace-it is presently supported by third-party LLMs, the platform will be integrated with the Group’s proprietary localised LLM upon its successful completion. To date, Ace-it has been deployed across participating pilot schools nationwide, with the Group receiving positive and encouraging feedback from both educators and students. In parallel, the Group is developing an on-premise version of the Ace-it platform, inclusive of its AI functionalities, to enable effective deployment in rural and underserved schools with limited or no internet connectivity. This initiative reflects the Group’s commitment to ensuring equitable access to high-quality digital learning solutions regardless of infrastructure constraints. Looking ahead, the Group is also exploring opportunities to bundle its AI solutions (both cloud-based and on-premise) with hardware such as tablets and smartboards, offering schools a fully integrated, end-to-end AI-powered classroom ecosystem. Looking ahead to the FYE 2026 and beyond, the Group anticipates a positive growth trajectory, supported by opportunities to enhance revenue and earnings sustainability. Backed by 40 years of brand strength and trusted relationships, we are well positioned to expand our offerings across both print and digital education segments. While remaining mindful of external uncertainties, the Group will continue to invest prudently, manage risks proactively, and pursue innovation to drive long-term, sustainable value. Drive innovation across the Group’s entire print publications portfolio to defend its leadership position Focus on securing textbook tenders for the implementation of the new 2027 school curriculum Market our AI-enabled digital learning platform, Ace-it, for school adoption Develop Malaysia’s localised Large Language Model (“LLM”) trained specifically for education
