Date: 16 June 2025
Venue: Greenland, Berjaya Land
KUALA LUMPUR, 16 June 2025 – Berjaya Land Berhad (Berjaya Land) is pleased to announce its expansion into Greenland through its wholly-owned subsidiary Berjaya Greenland Invest A/S, a journey rooted in responsible growth, innovation and deep respect for the local community and environment.
Berjaya Land began its Nordic venture in 2019, driven by its international expansion plan to help develop a unique part of Greenland and bring long-term value to the local community. The Company is committed to develop a unique part of the country into a vibrant and welcoming destination. Building on this positive momentum, Berjaya Land extended its focus to Greenland, a land rich in potential and ready for new opportunities.

Through strategic engagement with the Municipality of Nuuk, Greenland’s capital, Berjaya Land identified a growing housing shortage as a key priority for the community. Responding to this need, Berjaya Land formed Berjaya Greenland Invest A/S and secured lands in Nuuk, with the goal of delivering high quality residential apartments suited to Greenland’s unique climate and infrastructure needs.

In a significant step forward, Berjaya Land Berhad signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with SIBS Sdn. Bhd, a Sweden-based company with a manufacturing facility in Penang also a global leader in modular housing systems. This partnership aims to deliver efficient, climate-resilient homes through modular construction a modern approach that enables faster deployment, cost savings, and long-lasting quality.
Modular housing is particularly well-suited for Greenland’s environment and delivers several key advantages:
  • Superior quality control, achieved through controlled off-site construction;
  • Enhanced energy efficiency, with superior insulation for Arctic climates;
  • Time savings, as site work and modular construction occur simultaneously;
  • Environmental sustainability, through reduced waste and optimized resources;
  • Design flexibility, offering customisation to meet local housing preferences.
The housing initiative is currently in the planning and design phase, with the launch expected soon. Beyond improving housing access, the project is projected to generate meaningful economic benefits – including job creation, local contractor involvement, and long-term urban growth.

Building on this momentum, Berjaya Land is also working closely with the Municipality of Nuuk to explore the next phase of development including but not limited to a hotel and hotel residences that will support Greenland’s growing tourism sector. Following the inauguration of the new international airport in November 2024, Nuuk is poised to become a key Arctic destination. Berjaya Land’s hospitality investment is intended to meet this demand while maintaining a strong commitment to cultural and environmental sustainability.
Syed Ali Shahul Hameed, Group Chief Executive Officer of Berjaya Land Berhad, shared:

“We are excited to move forward with this collaboration, which marks a key milestone in our efforts to deliver modern, practical housing solutions that meet real community needs. This project reflects Berjaya Land’s broader vision of creating high-quality developments that are efficient, adaptable, and built with long-term impact in mind. Modular construction offers a smart and timely approach, allowing us to deliver faster and more cost-effective homes while supporting local capacity-building. Our focus remains on developing spaces that not only serve today’s needs but also lay the groundwork for resilient, connected communities in the years ahead.”
Mr. Erik Thomaeus, Group CEO of SIBS, stated:

“We are honored to join hands with Berjaya Land Berhad in this strategic partnership that aligns perfectly with our vision of shaping the future of sustainable modern living. Their commitment to community-driven development and respect for local identity resonate deeply with our values at SIBS. At the core of our collaboration is a shared belief that innovation and sustainability must go hand in hand. Together, we aim to deliver modular housing solutions that are not only high in quality and efficiency, but also adaptable to the unique needs of the people and places they serve. We look forward to building more than just homes we’re building resilient communities for generations to come.”

PRESS RELEASE
BERJAYA CORPORATION BERHAD REPORTS RM2.54 BILLION REVENUE FOR Q3FY2025 ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Date: 30 May 2025
Venue: Kuala Lumpur
For the 3rd Quarter ended 31 March 2025

Berjaya Corporation Berhad (“BCorp” or “the Group”) recorded a revenue of RM2.54 billion and incurred a pre-tax loss of RM8.88 million for the current quarter ended 31 March 2025 as compared to a revenue of RM2.78 billion and pre-tax profit of RM773.66 million reported in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
The Group’s performance for the quarter under review was driven by the following business segments:
  • Retail (Non-Food) business reported higher revenue, mainly driven by the strong performance of H.R. Owen Plc (“HR Owen”). The increase was attributed to the higher sales volume in both the new and used car sectors. Sales from the new marque, Lotus, which is now represented by HR Owen, contributed to the revenue growth, and the launches of certain new models further supported the improved performance in the current quarter. However, when translated into Ringgit Malaysia, the Group’s reporting currency, revenue growth was dampened by the unfavourable impact of foreign exchange effect.

    The non-food retail business segment reported a higher pre-tax profit, primarily attributable to HR Owen’s improved performance, in line with the increased revenue achieved during the current quarter under review.

    HR Owen’s positive results offset the lower results from Cosway’s operations, which were impacted by the closure of non-performing stores in certain countries.
  • Retail (Food) business reported a lower revenue due to a reduced number of Starbucks cafes in operation compared to the previous year’s corresponding quarter, as well as the cessation of Papa John’s Pizza operations in the Philippines during the current quarter.

    A higher pre-tax loss was reported by this business segment in the current quarter, due to the weaker performance of Kenny Rogers Roasters operations and additional pre operating costs incurred for the Group’s new overseas operations.
  • Property segment reported a decline in revenue for the current quarter, due to the completion of The Tropika, Bukit Jalil project in the final quarter of the previous financial year. However, this decline was mitigated by higher sales of residential units from a local project in the current quarter under review. Additionally, the corresponding quarter of the previous year included sales from an overseas residential project.
  • Hospitality segment reported a higher revenue, mainly due to the increase in overall average occupancy rate but a higher pre-tax loss, from its higher operating expenses incurred in the current quarter under review.
  • Services segment reported a higher revenue in the current quarter, primarily driven by the gaming business operated by STM Lottery Sdn Bhd (“STM Lottery”). STM Lottery recorded a stronger revenue growth as compared to the corresponding quarter of the previous year, given that the number of draws remained the same in both quarters. The improvement in sales was mainly attributed to an exceptional surge in the accumulated jackpot from the Supreme Toto 6/58 game.

    The higher revenue from STM Lottery offset the lower revenue recorded by the managed telecommunications network services (“MTNS”) business, as well as the deconsolidation of Naza Enviro Holdings Sdn Bhd (formerly known as Berjaya Enviro Holdings Sdn Bhd) (“NEH”) and Singapore Institute of Advanced Medicine Holdings Ltd (“SIAMH”).

    The higher pre-tax profit reported for the gaming business operated by STM Lottery was primarily driven by a combination of higher sales and lower prize payouts in the current quarter under review.
For the 9-month period ended 31 March 2025

The Group registered a revenue of RM6.97 billion and incurred a pre-tax loss of RM149.47 million for the financial period ended 31 March 2025 as compared to a revenue of RM7.58 billion and pre-tax profit of RM751.65 million reported in the previous year corresponding period.
The Group’s performance during the 9-month period under review was contributed by the following business segments:
  • Retail segment’s food retail business reported a lower revenue and a pre-tax loss due to the prolonged impact of ongoing sentiment related to the Middle East conflict, which affected the market dynamics and influenced consumer spending patterns during the current period under review.

    However, higher revenue was reported by the non-food retail business, mainly due to higher revenue contributions from HR Owen, supported by optimistic demand from the used car sector, as well as contributions from the new marque, Lotus, which is now represented by HR Owen during the financial period. However, the unfavourable foreign exchange effect resulted in a more modest increase in revenue when translated into Ringgit Malaysia.

    The higher revenue from non-food retail business has offset the lower revenue from Cosway’s operations, as a result of the closure of non-performing stores in certain countries.

    The non-food retail business reported a pre-tax profit contributed by Cosway operations due to the closure of non-performing stores in certain countries and reduced operating costs. The improvement was further supported by a higher gross profit margin, driven by a more favourable product mix.
  • Property segment reported lower revenue and a pre-tax loss in the current period, primarily due to the completion of The Tropika, Bukit Jalil project. This decline was mitigated by the higher sales of residence units from a local project in the current period Page 2 of 3 under review. Additionally, the corresponding period in the previous year had included sales of residential units from an overseas project.
  • Hospitality segment reported a higher revenue and a higher pre-tax profit, mainly attributed by the higher overall occupancy rate during the current period under review.
  • Services segment reported a higher revenue contribution, primarily from STM Lottery despite a lower number of draws conducted in the current period under review (123 draws versus 126 draws in the previous year corresponding period). The growth was primarily driven by a sudden surge in the tickets sales from the Supreme Toto 6/58 game, following an exceptional increase in its accumulated jackpot during the current period.

    The higher revenue from STM Lottery offset the deconsolidation effects of NEH and SIAMH.

    The segment also reported a higher pre-tax profit mainly due to higher revenue achieved coupled with a lower prize payout by STM Lottery during the current period under review.
Future Prospects

Malaysia’s economic growth is expected to be driven by strong domestic demand and the moderation of average inflation rate despite the uncertainties arising from geo-political tensions and the inflationary tariffs being imposed by the United States government. The Group will monitor the prevailing global and local political development in the countries where the Group has business operations.

The performance of the domestic business segments of the Group is expected to improve on the back of strong consumer spending and improvement in tourism-related activities. As for the gaming business, it is expected to continue its growth trajectory, in line with the ongoing popularity of its Lotto and Digit games to achieve commendable results.

Taking account of the aforesaid and barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Directors are cautiously optimistic that the Group’s business operations will deliver a satisfactory performance for the remaining quarter of the financial year ending 30 June 2025

This efficiency translates to lower emissions per passenger and enhanced operational sustainability without compromising luxury or performance. With each flight, Asia Jet contributes to a more responsible aviation ecosystem, showcasing how elegance and environmental consciousness can coexist at 45,000 feet.

This commitment to sustainability extends beyond air travel, as the Global 6500 also plays a role in enabling eco-conscious tourism experiences across Berjaya Land’s hotel destinations, connecting the skies with the land through purpose-driven luxury.
Connecting Asia to Iceland – A Journey Like No Other

Thanks to the Global 6500’s exceptional range, Asia Jet can now offer direct, ultra-luxurious journeys from Malaysia to Iceland — one of Berjaya Land’s most distinctive international hospitality markets.

Berjaya Land’s properties in Iceland offer exclusive access to the country’s majestic natural landscapes, geothermal wonders, and Nordic hospitality — all now seamlessly accessible through Asia Jet’s new ultra-long-range service. This destination pairing of luxury flight and unforgettable lodging elevates the overall guest experience and reinforces Berjaya Land’s unique ability to offer fully curated global lifestyle journeys.
Strategic Synergy: Travel, Lifestyle, and Luxury

Asia Jet’s strengthened fleet now enhances Berjaya Land’s position as a leading premium lifestyle group, connecting its aviation capabilities with its award-winning portfolio of luxury resorts, residences, and experiences across Asia and Europe.
This acquisition supports the group’s ability to offer:
  • Customised tourism packages for elite clientele

With the Global 6500’s arrival, Asia Jet reaffirms its role as a forward-thinking force in private aviation, championing a future where luxury, sustainability, and seamless global travel go hand in hand.

Owen”).

STM Lottery’s current quarter revenue was higher by 20.8% despite the number of draws that remained the same as reported in the corresponding quarter of the previous year (42 draws).

The growth was primarily driven by a sudden surge in the ticket sales from the Supreme Toto 6/58 game when its accumulated jackpot grew exceptionally in the current period. In tandem with the revenue growth coupled with lower prize payout, its pre tax profit increased by 23.6% in the current period under review.

H.R. Owen reported an increase in revenue of 6.8% as compared to the previous year corresponding period, supported by optimistic demand from the used car sector as well as contribution from the new marque, Lotus, which is now represented by the company during the current financial period. However, the unfavourable foreign exchange effect resulted in a more modest revenue increase of 2.3% when converted into Ringgit Malaysia. It reported a lower pre-tax loss of RM1.4 million as compared to a pre-tax loss of RM4.1 million in the previous year corresponding period, mainly attributed to the revenue growth as well as lower finance cost incurred following the interest rate reduction in the UK.
Dividend Declaration

Future Prospects

The Directors remain cautiously optimistic that the Group’s business will remain stable and resilient. The Number Forecast Operation (“NFO”) business is expected to continue its upward trajectory of per draw sales growth driven by favourable consumer spending and continued consumer interest in the jackpot games. Further in regard to the closure of legal NFO outlets in the two Northern states (Kedah and Perlis), the Directors are concerned with the continued encroachment of illegal operators in these underserved areas.

Despite the prevailing uncertainties and global economy headwinds including trade protectionism and the inflationary tariff impact, the Directors are confident that the Group will continue its lead in terms of the market share in NFO market and the Group’s businesses are expected to be encouraging and maintain a positive outlook for the remaining quarter of financial year ending 30 June 2025.

PRESS RELEASE
BERJAYA CORPORATION BERHAD REPORTS RM2.20 BILLION REVENUE FOR Q2FY2025 ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Date: 27 February 2025
Venue: Kuala Lumpur
For the 2nd Quarter ended 31 December 2024

Berjaya Corporation Berhad (“BCorp”) registered a revenue of RM2.20 billion in the current quarter ended 31 December 2024, closely aligned to a revenue of RM2.23 billion reported in the same quarter of the previous year. Notably, the Group made significant progress by reducing its pre-tax loss to RM39.02 million in the current quarter under review compared to a pre-tax loss of RM119.30 million reported in the previous year corresponding quarter.
The performance of the Group’s result in the quarter under review was contributed by the following business segments:
  • Retail (Non-Food) business reported higher revenue, largely driven by the strong performance of H.R. Owen Plc (“HR Owen”). This growth was fuelled by strong demand in the used car sector, which resulted in both higher sales volume and increase in average selling prices. Furthermore, sales were further boosted by the introduction of the Lotus marque, now represented by HR Owen in London. The higher revenue from HR Owen offset the lower revenue from Cosway operations, as a result of the closure of non performing stores in certain countries.

    The non-food retail business also reported a pre-tax profit for the current quarter, mainly driven by Cosway’s profitability despite registering a decline in revenue. This was attributed to a strategic cost rationalisation exercise. Additionally, HR Owen reported improved results, with a reduction in losses reflecting revenue growth amidst the challenging economic environment in the United Kingdom (“UK”).

    The food retail business on the other hand, posted a lower revenue due to the prolonged impact of ongoing sentiments surrounding the Middle East conflict, which has contributed to a higher pre-tax loss in the current quarter.
  • Property segment reported a decline in revenue and a pre-tax loss for the current quarter, mainly due to the completion of The Tropika Bukit Jalil project in the final quarter of the previous financial year. Nevertheless, this decline was mitigated by increased sales of residence units from a local project in the current quarter under review.
  • Hospitality segment reported a higher revenue and pre-tax profit, primarily due to the improved overall occupancy rates during the current quarter compared to the corresponding quarter of the previous year.
  • Services segment posted a higher revenue in the current quarter, driven by the gaming business operated by STM Lottery Sdn Bhd (“STM Lottery”) with improvements in average sales per draw and higher accumulated jackpot prizes in Lotto games, despite having one fewer draw in the current quarter (41 draws versus 42 draws in the last year corresponding quarter).

    The segment reported a higher pre-tax profit primarily attributed to a combination of higher sales and lower prize payout, as well as the deconsolidation effect of the Singapore Institute of Advanced Medicine Holdings Ltd (“SIAMH”).
For the 6-month period ended 31 December 2024

The Group registered a revenue of RM4.43 billion and incurred a pre-tax loss of RM140.60 million for the financial period ended 31 December 2024. This compares to the previous year’s revenue of RM4.80 billion and a pre-tax loss of RM22.0 million.
The Group’s performance during the 6-month period under review was contributed by the following business segments:
  • Retail (Non-Food) segment’s non-food retail business reported a lower revenue due to reduced revenue contributions from Cosway operations, following the closure of non-performing stores in certain countries. Nonetheless, this was mitigated by higher revenue reported by HR Owen, driven by strong demand in the used car sector, along with a favourable mix of sales volume and higher average selling prices. Moreover, the introduction of the Lotus marque and the commencement of deliveries of certain new models during the current reporting period contributed to the increase in revenue. However, due to unfavourable foreign exchange effects, the revenue reported a slight decline when converted to Ringgit Malaysia.

    The non-food retail business reported improved results for the current period, mainly driven by Cosway’s profitability, which was attributed to a strategic cost rationalisation exercise. However, this offset the higher pre-tax losses from HR Owen which incurred increased operating costs due to the introduction of a new marque, as well as weaker new car sales caused by the under performance of certain existing brands. In addition, the impact of the UK interest rate hike during the period under review also contributed to the losses.

    The food retail business reported a lower revenue and a pre-tax loss due to the same reasons mentioned in the current quarter under review.
  • Property segment reported lower revenue and pre-tax loss in the current period, mainly due to the completion of The Tropika Bukit Jalil project. However, the losses was mitigated by higher sales units from a local project in the current period under review. Additionally, the corresponding period includes sales or residential units from an overseas project.
  • Hospitality segment reported a higher revenue and higher pre-tax profit, mainly due to higher overall occupancy rates during the current period under review.
  • Services segment reported a lower revenue, primarily due to the deconsolidation of Berjaya Enviro Holdings Sdn Bhd and SIAMH, along with lower sales from STM Lottery, which resulting from a lower number of draws conducted (81 draws versus 84 draws in the corresponding period of the previous year). Despite this, the gaming business posted higher pre-tax profit, mainly due to a lower prize payout by STM Lottery, as well as the deconsolidation of SIAMH.
    • The segment reported a higher pre-tax profit primarily attributed to a combination of higher sales and lower prize payout, as well as the deconsolidation effect of the Singapore Institute of Advanced Medicine Holdings Ltd (“SIAMH”).
Future Prospects
Malaysia’s economic growth is expected to be driven by strong domestic demand and the moderation of average inflation rate despite the uncertainties arising from ongoing geo-political tensions. The Group will keep a close watch on the current global and local political developments in the countries where it operates.

The performance of the domestic business segments of the Group is expected to improve, supported by strong consumer spending and improvement in tourism activities. As for the gaming business, it is expected to maintain its growth trajectory, in line with the ongoing popularity of its Lotto and Digit games to achieve commendable results.

Considering these factors and barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Directors remain cautiously optimistic that the performance of the business operations of the Group for the remaining quarters of the financial year ending 30 June 2025 to be satisfactory.
