Outlook and guidance

• Singapore and US operations are expected to remain key H2 2026 revenue drivers; operating losses are cautiously expected to narrow for FY2026.

• US repair and fabrication are expected to support steadier year-round revenue and cash flow; FY2026 gross profit is expected if H1 margins are sustained.

• Malaysia revenue is unlikely to contribute meaningfully in FY2026, with gross losses expected to continue; commencement timing for HIMS orders remains under discussion.

• Taiwan revenue and profit contribution are expected to be insignificant in FY2026; possible turnaround tenders at two CPC Taiwan plants may be pursued.

• Guidance for the nine months ending 30 September 2026 is expected in November 2026.
