• No material acquisitions or disposals were made in FY2025, but the Group remains open to new investments, subject to feasibility and funding from internal resources.

Potential Share Price Movers

• Positive: Revenue and profit growth, reduced administrative costs, reversal of impairments, active deleveraging and refinancing at lower rates, and a strategic push into clean energy may support investor confidence.
• Negative: No dividend payout, increased leverage ratio, exposure to foreign exchange risk without hedging, and especially the newly disclosed litigation claim in early 2026, which could result in financial liabilities, may weigh on sentiment.
