Chairman's Message

Our unwavering focus remains on maximizing shareholder value. During the year, our efforts were centered on deleveraging the balance sheet, optimizing operational costs, and investing in high-potential projects.



Millennium Housing Developers PLC - Annual Report 2024/25 "Rebuilding Strength, Restoring Confidence"

INTRODUCTION

It is with great pride and optimism that I present to you the Annual Report of Millennium Housing Developers PLC (MHDPLC) for the financial year ended 31 March 2025. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I extend our sincere appreciation for your continued confidence, commitment, and support during a year that marks a remarkable turnaround for our Company. Despite a challenging macroeconomic environment, I am pleased to report

that MHDPLC has demonstrated significant recovery, driven by strategic focus, financial discipline, and operational resilience.

Chairman's Message

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND RECOVERY

The 2024/25 financial year has been a pivotal period in the Company's trajectory. Following a difficult prior year, our consolidated revenue and profitability showed a marked improvement, supported by robust land sales, disciplined cost management,

and completion of key transactions including the successful divestment of the Moragahahena and

Nawala-Koswatta properties. Our efforts to restructure debt and improve cash

flows bore fruit, with most legacy liabilities settled and key projects such as River View regaining momentum. While macroeconomic pressures such as high interest rates and reduced purchasing power persisted, our late-year performance and forward bookings laid

a strong foundation for a more resilient and profitable future.

NAVIGATING ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTY

The Sri Lankan real estate sector continues to face volatility, driven by inflationary pressures,

shifting policy environments, and constrained investor sentiment. However, MHDPLC's agile response- anchored in pragmatic planning and adaptive marketing-has helped

mitigate these risks. Our strategic decision to focus on fast-moving land development projects,

complemented by selective vertical development, has allowed us to stabilize cash flows and build financial resilience. By realigning our business model to current market realities while positioning for future demand, we have emerged stronger and more agile.

PROJECT PIPELINE AND STRATEGIC VISION

Looking ahead, we are confident in the Company's prospects. Our major projects-including

the ongoing River View development and the relaunch of the Rajagiriya apartment complex-are expected to contribute significantly to revenue in the coming years.

Additionally, we are in the advanced stages of

launching a high-rise mixed-use development in Nawala, further strengthening

our urban footprint. The Company also aims to expand land development activities in the Gampaha and Colombo districts, capitalizing on the growing demand for affordable, well-planned housing solutions.

This diversified approach to project development ensures a balanced risk profile while opening new revenue channels.

ENHANCING SHAREHOLDER VALUE

Our unwavering focus remains on maximizing shareholder value. During the year, our efforts were centered on deleveraging the balance sheet, optimizing operational costs, and investing in

high-potential projects. With improved cash flow visibility, cleared debt obligations, and a clear strategic direction, we are better positioned to return value to shareholders-both in terms of capital appreciation and long-term sustainability. The Board remains committed

to strong governance and value creation through innovation, efficiency, and responsible growth.

GOVERNANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT

We continue to uphold the highest standards of

corporate governance, risk oversight, and compliance. In a dynamic and often uncertain operating environment, these foundations are vital. Our Board has ensured that robust risk management practices are embedded across all levels of the organization, while fostering a culture of accountability and transparency. These principles guide our actions and reinforce our credibility among stakeholders.

COMMITMENT TO STAKEHOLDERS

To our valued employees, I convey my deepest gratitude for your hard work, adaptability, and loyalty. Your contributions have been instrumental

in our recovery journey. To our shareholders, your trust fuels our vision. And

to our customers, thank you for continuing to choose Millennium as your trusted real estate partner. We are committed to exceeding your expectations by delivering quality, on time, and with integrity.

CONCLUSION

The year under review has been one of rebuilding and re-emergence. The progress we have made is not only

financial, but also strategic- refining our core operations and regaining market confidence. With renewed momentum, a growing project pipeline, and a clear path ahead, Millennium Housing Developers PLC is well-positioned to deliver value and purpose as we build a more secure and sustainable future.



Mr. U. H. DHARMADASA

Chairman Millennium Housing Developers PLC

Executive Director's Message

Looking ahead, our business model is being recalibrated

to reduce reliance on high-leverage projects and focus more on low-risk, highdem

and land developments. This strategic shift will strengthen our operational sustainability while aligning us with changing consumer behavior

and urban expansion patterns in Sri Lanka.



A YEAR OF STABILISATION AND FORWARD MOMENTUM

The financial year 2024/25 marked a significant turning point for Millennium Housing Developers PLC. After enduring several challenging years shaped by macroeconomic pressures and internal constraints, the Company and the Group have demonstrated renewed strength and strategic focus. While the operating environment remained uncertain, our recovery has been shaped by decisive actions, strong governance, and a realigned strategy centered around sustainable growth and prudent financial management.

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND IMPROVED PROFITABILITY

The Group's financial performance during the year reflects the early fruits of our restructuring efforts. Revenues improved significantly, and both the Company and Group returned to profitability after a period of losses. While this progress is encouraging, we

Executive Director's Message

also acknowledge that operating cash flows remained negative, largely due to the absence of major ongoing revenue-generating projects and elevated finance costs. Nevertheless, the profitability achieved this year confirms the fundamental viability of

our business model and supports the going concern assumption under which our financial statements have been prepared.

STRENGTHENING LIQUIDITY THROUGH ASSET DIVESTMENT

To address short-term liquidity constraints and reduce debt exposure, we strategically divested non-core assets. In April 2024, we completed

the sale of our Nawala-Koswatta property for Rs. 105 million, with proceeds applied toward settling debt obligations with Nations Trust Bank and providing working capital for the River View project in Katunayake.

This project has entered its second phase with positive market demand and has benefited from a successful restructuring of

its associated credit facility, including a Rs. 100 million bullet repayment made shortly after the year-end.

Another significant milestone was achieved with the full settlement of Millennium Housing Limited's facility with

Sampath Bank in February 2025. This was enabled through the Rs. 440 million sale of our Moragahahena property. The transaction also allowed us to clear substantial intercompany and external liabilities, thereby improving our Group-wide liquidity and financial flexibility.

UNSETTLED DEBT AND ONGOING RECOVERY EFFORTS

As of the end of the financial year, the loan facility obtained by MC Urban Development Limited from Sampath Bank remained unsettled. A public

auction held in December 2023 did not result in a successful sale. However, we are actively engaged in negotiations with several interested parties and are optimistic that the sale will be concluded in the coming months. Proceeds from this transaction will be used to fully settle the remaining liability and support new land development initiatives.

EMERGING PROJECTS AND GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES

We are now entering a new phase in our development journey, one that places equal emphasis on land development and selective high-return vertical projects. Notably, we are set to launch our Nawala apartment project in August 2025 in collaboration with

a related party under a structured development agreement. This project offers a competitive marketing edge and is expected to generate significant returns.

Additionally, we have earmarked funds from recent asset sales to initiate a series of land development projects in urban areas across Colombo and Gampaha. These projects are aligned with evolving customer preferences and are designed to deliver consistent returns with lower capital risk. Our

land development focus also supports our broader objective of building scalable, market-relevant communities that meet both housing demand and lifestyle aspirations.

STRATEGIC OUTLOOK AND BUSINESS CONTINUITY

Looking ahead, our business model is being recalibrated to reduce reliance on high-leverage projects and focus more on low-risk, high-demand land developments. This strategic shift will strengthen our operational sustainability while aligning us with changing consumer behavior and urban expansion patterns in Sri Lanka. Our future project pipeline is backed by a healthy land bank, active lender support, and a deep understanding of evolving market conditions.

In line with this strategic outlook, the Board has conducted a detailed going concern assessment based on current financials,

cash flow projections, funding access, and the macroeconomic climate. We are confident that the Company and Group

possess adequate resources to continue operations without material curtailment in the foreseeable future.

ORGANIZATIONAL RESILIENCE AND OPERATIONAL CONTROLS

Our transformation has been underpinned by robust internal reforms. We have

overhauled our Standard Operating Procedures

to promote operational efficiency and strategic alignment. Our workforce continues to be one of our strongest assets, and

their professionalism, skill, and commitment are at the heart of our continued progress. With renewed emphasis on performance culture, transparency, and internal collaboration,

we are building an agile organization equipped for long-term competitiveness.

APPRECIATION AND COMMITMENT TO STAKEHOLDERS

We express our deep appreciation to the Chairman and Board of Directors for their strategic guidance and leadership throughout the year. To our valued shareholders, your unwavering trust

has been instrumental in our recovery journey. We also thank our financiers, suppliers, contractors, and government regulators for their ongoing cooperation and confidence in our direction. Above all, we remain grateful to our customers, whose loyalty inspires us to continually raise our standards.

As we move forward, Millennium Housing Developers PLC is committed to delivering on its promise of developing quality housing communities while creating sustainable value for all stakeholders.

Our focus remains clear: building tomorrow's communities with responsibility, resilience, and innovation.
