Shareholder Questions and Management Responses
1. Precast & Prefabrication Business Growth & Competitive Landscape
Soilbuild’s precast and prefabrication segment has expanded strongly, leveraging high automation at its Integrated Construction and Prefabrication Hub (ICPH) in Singapore and additional facilities in Singapore and Johor, Malaysia. This automation enables productivity gains and reduced labor reliance, positioning the Group well against around six ICPH license holders in Singapore. The Malaysia facility primarily supports Singapore demand.
2. Status of Precast Business Spin-off/Listing
The Board confirmed the proposed spin-off and separate listing of the Precast business remains under consideration, pending regulatory approvals and market conditions. No final decision has been made. This exercise is aimed at unlocking shareholder value, and updates will be provided when material developments arise. This is potentially price-sensitive as a successful spin-off could potentially crystallize value for shareholders.
3. Fuel Cost Impact & Pass-through to Customers
Most current projects are under fixed-price contracts, limiting the ability to pass on fuel cost increases to customers. For new projects, higher fuel costs are factored into pricing. The Group is mitigating fuel risk by using Battery Energy Storage Systems instead of diesel generators and is considering hedging diesel prices.
4. Trading Liquidity and Analyst Coverage
The Company acknowledged its low free float (approximately 13.8%) and continues to engage with analysts and investors to enhance market visibility. Ultimately, trading liquidity is market-driven.
Potential Price-Sensitive Developments
- Potential Spin-off of Precast & Prefabrication Business: Investors should closely monitor developments, as a spin-off and listing could unlock value and drive share price re-rating.
- Dividend Declaration: Consistent dividend payout signals management confidence and could attract income-seeking investors.
- Mandate for Share Issuance: Increased flexibility for capital raising, although any dilution impact should be monitored.
- Amendment to Non-Competition Deed: Could affect strategic direction and relationships with controlling shareholders.
Conclusion
The 2026 AGM of Soilbuild Construction Group Ltd. saw all management-backed resolutions passed with strong shareholder support. The Board reaffirmed its commitment to exploring a value-unlocking spin-off of its high-performing Precast business, while operational and financial results remain robust. Dividend continuity and strong governance practices were also on display. Investors should watch for further announcements regarding the spin-off, as it could be a significant catalyst for the company’s share price.

股东问答与管理层回复
1. 预制业务增长及市场竞争
公司预制及装配业务近年来增长强劲，依托新加坡ICPH高自动化产线及额外的新加坡与柔佛工厂，有效提升生产力并降低人工依赖。马来西亚工厂主要补充新加坡需求，目前新加坡约有6家ICPH持牌公司。
2. 预制业务分拆/上市进展
董事会确认预制业务分拆上市尚在推进，需获监管批准并视市场环境而定。尚未最终决定，但承诺以释放股东价值为目标。此事项属潜在股价敏感信息，若成功分拆，有望释放公司价值。
3. 油价上涨影响及转嫁能力
现有项目多为固定价格合同，难以将油价上涨转嫁客户。新项目将已考虑成本上升。公司已启用电池储能系统减少柴油消耗，并考虑对冲以控制价格波动风险。
4. 交易流动性与分析师覆盖
公司承认自由流通盘较低（约13.8%），并持续与分析师和投资者沟通提升公司在资本市场的能见度，但交易活跃度受市场影响。
