FY2026 Financial Outlook Based on current operating trends, secured customer projects, expected business expansion initiatives, and management's assessment of market opportunities, the Company expects FY2026 to deliver continued growth across key financial metrics. The following table summarizes the Company's FY2026 financial guidance: USD FY2025 Results FY2026 Guidance Growth (%) Revenue 19,098,306 25,782,715 35% Cost of Revenue (14,755,566) (19,059,450) 29% Gross Profit 4,342,740 6,723,265 55% Operating Expenses (2,270,009) (3,317,405) 46% EBITDA 3,374,872 4,640,889 38% Net Profit 1,797,268 2,191,530 22% Management expects revenue growth to be driven by the continued expansion of its software and technology business, contributions from strategic investments, and the recognition of secured project backlog currently under implementation. Gross profit is expected to grow faster than revenue as the Company continues to benefit from economies of scale and an increasing contribution from higher-margin technology services. Strategic Expansion Through Malaya Heritage As part of its growth and diversification strategy, Sagtec continues to expand its presence in the consumer sector through its investment in Malaya Heritage. Management believes the investment represents an important step in broadening the Group's business portfolio beyond its core technology operations while creating additional opportunities for recurring revenue generation and long-term value creation. The investment provides Sagtec with exposure to the consumer and retail segments, which management believes offer attractive growth opportunities and complement the Company's existing technology-driven business model. Through its involvement in Malaya Heritage, the Company seeks to establish a stronger presence in consumer-facing industries while diversifying its sources of revenue and cash flow. Following the investment, the Company plans to open four additional outlets during the third and fourth quarters of FY2026. The expansion is expected to strengthen Malaya Heritage's market presence, enhance brand visibility, increase customer accessibility, and support the continued growth of the business across key locations. Beyond outlet expansion, Sagtec intends to work closely with Malaya Heritage to support business development initiatives, operational enhancements, branding efforts, and future growth opportunities. Management believes there is significant potential to scale the business and further strengthen its competitive position within the market. In addition, the Company sees opportunities to leverage its technology expertise, including digital solutions, customer engagement platforms, AI-powered applications, and data analytics capabilities, to improve operational efficiency and enhance customer experiences within the Malaya Heritage ecosystem. This aligns with Sagtec's broader strategy of integrating technology-driven solutions across its investment portfolio. Management expects Malaya Heritage to become an increasingly meaningful contributor to the Group's overall financial performance and believes the continued expansion of the business will support sustainable growth, revenue diversification, and long-term shareholder value creation.
