38 Group President and CEO’s Discussion and Analysis continued

Outlook
The outlook for the Group remains strong, underpinned by its diversified portfolio and resilient financial performance. With
robust growth in core business segments and disciplined cost management, the Group is well-positioned to capitalise on market
opportunities. The Group’s strategic investments, particularly in digital transformation and expansion of its service offerings, are
expected to drive further efficiency and profitability. While external factors such as fluctuating economic conditions, geopolitical
tensions, and regulatory changes remain a consideration, the Group’s solid statement of financial position and proactive risk
management provide a solid foundation for sustained growth and enhanced shareholder value.

In the coming year, we will continue to focus on the roll-out of our strategic initiatives, whilst driving innovation, enhancing
customer experience, and strengthening our sustainability practices. We see exciting opportunities on the horizon and are
confident that our strategic direction will enable us to capitalise on them.

As we close out another successful year, I would like to take a moment to reflect on where we have reached and where we are
headed. Thanks to the hard work of our employees, the guidance of our Board, and the support of our shareholders, we have built
a strong foundation that positions us well for future growth.

We must, however, remain mindful of the challenges ahead. The global economic environment remains dynamic, and we must
remain agile and prepared to adapt. By leveraging our core strengths, investing in innovation, and staying focused on our mission,
I am confident we will continue to create lasting value for our stakeholders.
