Operational UpdatesAwards
We are pleased to highlight the following recognitions and achievements for safety and production operations in Malaysia:
Hibiscus Malaysia
In December 2025, we received a Focused Recognition from PETRONAS for outstanding performance throughout the North Sabah and Kinabalu Production Enhancement and Idle Well Reactivation (PE IWR) campaign for 2025. The Focused Recognition highlighted strategic integration of NS and KN field activities which resulted in substantial operational efficiencies and achieved incremental gross production of 1.66 kbbl/day (actual) against a planned 1.6 kbbl/day production rate with zero HSE incidents.
In January 2026, we received the Prime Minister's Hibiscus Award (PMHA) for Exceptional
Achievement in Environmental Performance for our Labuan Crude Oil Terminal (LCOT).

, ( )
Average gross oil production is lower for the Current Quarter compared to the financial quarter ended 30 September 2025 ("Preceding Quarter") due to poorer performance from the South Furious 30 (SF30) wells. In addition, severe weather conditions severely hampered, and in some cases halted, planned optimisation and well intervention activities. There was also lower uptime in October 2025 as a result of the South Furious and SF30 Topside Major Maintenance shutdown being extended to 11 days from the planned 9 days.
Average OPEX per bbl is higher in the Current Quarter due to elevated spending on production enhancement, well integrity and wellhead maintenance activities and a general increase in maintenance expenditures combined with a reduction in total production volumes.
Capital expenditure for the current quarter was RM0.3 million (net), mainly incurred for the SF30 Water Flood Phase 2 development project.

Higher gross production in the Current Quarter as compared to the Preceding Quarter was mainly driven by improved uptime and equipment reliability. The Preceding Quarter figures included an annual planned major maintenance campaign conducted from 20 August to 27 August 2025.
Lower average OPEX per bbl for the Current Quarter was primarily driven by higher production volumes while total production costs remained stable compared to the Preceding Quarter.
Capital expenditure: RM3 million (net) during the Current Quarter from an ESP change out and minor capex projects.

3This is computed as follows:
+ ( )
, ( )
Average gross oil and condensate production increased in the Current Quarter vs the Preceding Quarter mainly due to better well performances and higher platform uptime. In addition, the Preceding Quarter's production was lower due to a 10-day annual planned major maintenance campaign conducted from 18 August to 27 August 2025.
In the Current Quarter, average gross gas exports increased by 22% compared to the Preceding Quarter. This growth is primarily attributed to a recovery in production following the completion of an annual planned major maintenance campaign that took place in the previous quarter.
Average OPEX per boe decreased relative to the Preceding Quarter due to higher production volumes and a decline in total production costs achieved through lower expenditures on surface routine tasks and reduction in scheduled maintenance activities.
Capital expenditure: RM23 million (net) in the Current Quarter for costs related Bunga Raya infill, Bunga Saffron development and other minor capex projects.

Note to Figure 7:
1. This is computed based on gross production OPEX divided by gross oil, condensate, and gas production.
Production:
Production facilities remained healthy and achieved an availability of 99.9% for the quarter.
Average condensate and gas production rates for the quarter were lower than forecasted. This was predominantly due to a delay in the start-up of the Low-Pressure Compressor from November 2025 to Q2 2026. In addition, actual gains from the well intervention campaign were lower than expected.
Unit production cost normalised quarter-on-quarter, following the completion of major planned activities, including the Well Intervention Campaign and the 4-Yearly Full-Field Shutdown (FFSD) in Q3 2025.
Low-Pressure Compression (LPC) Project:
Project entered Pre-Commissioning Phase in October 2025.
Overall project progress at 96.06% as of end December 2025. Overall project progress is affected by delays experienced in Onshore Processing Plant's (OPP) Site Integration and Pre-Commissioning activities. Plans are being implemented to accelerate the LPC startup date as much as practically possible. Based on the current programme, the Low-Pressure Compressor is scheduled to be operational in Q2 2026.

1This is computed based on gross production OPEX divided by gross oil and gas production. @ Conversion rate of 6,000 scf per boe.
∞ For Cook field.
# For Guillemot A, Teal and Teal South fields. Figures are subject to rounding.
Production in the Current Quarter is lower than the Preceding Quarter caused by a shut in of the Teal South well due to a subsurface safety valve leak during the period from September to December 2025. Concurrently, the Cook well was also shut-in due to a leak in the Christmas Tree from October to December 2025. The Teal South well remains shut-in, while production from the Cook well was reinstated on 31 December 2025. As a result of the decline in production from the shut-in wells, there is no offtake in the Current Quarter.
The Current Quarter's OPEX/boe is higher than the Preceding Quarter primarily due to lower production and increased cost, driven by higher diesel usage from October to December 2025 and ETS cost accrual at higher market prices.
Capital expenditure: RM8.9 million, primarily for the upgrade and replacement of facilities on the Anasuria FPSO and Cook well.
Teal West Development (Licence P2535)
The drilling phase of the Teal West Development project was completed when the Shelf Drilling Fortress jack-up rig demobilised from the Teal West field on 14 January 2026.
The offshore installation component of the project is expected to commence between 15 March and 21 April 2026.
The plan is to commence subsea installation works in April 2026 and achieve First Oil by mid-CY2026.
Greater Marigold Area Development (GMAD)
GMAD Concept Select Report ("CSR") was submitted to the North Sea Transition Authority
("NSTA") on 19 December 2025.
Currently progressing consultation period with the NSTA (i.e. providing responses to the NSTA's
comments), targeting CSR no objection by end-February 2026.
We target to complete selection of an FPSO by Q1 2026, followed by Field Development Plan and Environmental Statement documentation submission by mid-CY2026.
First oil is now expected to be in 2030.
The completion of the drilling phase of the Teal West project with the delivery of better-than-expected results has derisked a significant element of that project. We now look forward to delivering increased volumes from our UK business segment in FY2027.
In addition, as described above, we are working on several initiatives that will enhance shareholder value in the months and years ahead, as we progress towards our 2030 Mission: to achieve a net production rate of 70,000 boe per day and 2P Reserves of 150 MMboe. Complementing our core cash generating business, we intend to diversify our portfolio by investing in energy transition projects involving power generation.
We continue with discussions to introduce strategic investor(s) into the equity structure of the Company. Whilst there is no assurance or certainty that these discussions will result in a successful outcome with any of the interested parties, we will work with a recognised financial adviser to ensure that any proposed introduction of strategic investor(s) is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.
