Operational UpdatesAwards
We are pleased to highlight the following recognitions and achievements for safety and production operations in Malaysia:
Hibiscus Malaysia
In August 2025, we received a Focused Recognition from PETRONAS for successfully completing North Sabah's Production Enhancement and Idle Well Reactivation (PE IWR) campaign in Quarter 2, 2025, achieving gross production gain of 1.11 kbbl/day in actual vs. planned 0.9 kbbl/day production with zero HSE incidents.
In September 2025, Labuan Crude Oil Terminal (LCOT), a facility operated by Hibiscus Petroleum, was informed that it was being accorded the Prime Minister's Hibiscus Award for Exceptional Achievement in Environmental Performance.

+ ( )
, ( )
Average gross oil production is higher compared to the financial quarter ended 30 June 2025
("Preceding Quarter") due to better wells performance from South Furious 30 and St Joseph fields.
Average OPEX per bbl is lower in the Current Quarter due to less production enhancement, well integrity and wellhead maintenance activities, reduction in maintenance costs and combined with higher production.
Capital expenditure for the current quarter was RM2 million (net), mainly incurred for the SF30 Water Flood Phase 2 development project and other minor capex projects.

Average gross oil and condensate production decreased in the Current Quarter vs Preceding Quarter mainly due to the annual planned major maintenance campaign which was held from 18 August to 27 August 2025 and lower condensates from lower gas export.
Average gross gas export for the Current Quarter has reduced by 13% as compared to Preceding Quarter due to the annual planned major maintenance campaign. Gas production was further impacted by drop in base wells performance.
Average OPEX per boe is higher compared to the Preceding Quarter due to commencement of annual planned major maintenance activities coupled with lower production.
Capital expenditure: RM53 million (net) in the Current Quarter for costs related Bunga Raya infill, Bunga Aster 2 appraisal well and other minor capex projects.

Figure 6: Operational performance for the Block B MLJ asset.
Note to Figure 6:
1. This is computed based on gross production OPEX divided by gross oil, condensate, and gas production.
Production:
Average condensate and gas production rate for the quarter was lower than forecasted. This was predominantly due to sub-optimal performance from two of the producing wells, of which production is expected to improve once the Low Pressure Compressor (LPC) is brought online. Lower production can also be attributed to longer wells shut-in durations caused by challenges faced during well intervention campaign. It is important to note that production for the quarter is relatively low due to the planned Full-Field Shutdown ("FFSD") executed in September, which only takes place once every four years. The FFSD was completed safely and production was resumed half a day ahead of schedule. The next FFSD will take place in 2029.
Unit production cost increased in the current quarter as a result of major planned activities, such as the Well Intervention Campaign and the 19-day FFSD, which led to reduced production.
Low Pressure Compression (LPC) Project:
HSE: Project achieved the 1-million manhour Lost Time Injury (LTI)-free milestone in July 2025.
Overall project progress at 92.19% as of end September. There were delays on the Onshore Processing Plant's site integration and pre-commissioning activities, and a mitigation plan is being executed to recover progress.
The Low Pressure Compressor is scheduled to be started up in Q1 CY2026.

Notes to Figure 7:
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 was lower than in the Preceding Quarter. There was a dry gas seals failure event leading to gas lifted wells offline since 12 Sept and all wells shut in for 7 days for topsides isolation and de-isolation in September 2025.
The Current Quarter's OPEX/boe was higher than the Preceding Quarter, driven by higher diesel usage in September, increased repair costs, and ETS cost accrual at higher market prices.
Capital expenditure: RM15.4 million, primarily for the upgrade and replacement of facilities on the Anasuria FPSO.
FY2026 period (July 2025 - June 2026)
Gross oil production rate is expected to be lower for FY2026 compared to previous quarter reporting primarily due to:
Dry gas seals failure in the K-2020 gas compressor in September 2025 resulting in 7 days of facilities shutdown.
The shut in of Teal South well caused by subsurface safety valve (SSSV) leak of well fluids into the subsea hydraulic returns system for the period of September to December 2025.
The shut in of Cook well due to a leak in the Xmas Tree for October to December 2025. Current remediation plan is to reinstate the well in mid Dec 2025 to reinstate production.
As a result of the decline in production from the shut-in wells, there is a reduction in the number of offtakes compared to what was communicated in the Preceding Quarter (reduction from 3 cargoes in FY2026 to only 2 cargoes).
Teal West Development (Licence P2535)
In September 2025, the Shelf Drilling Fortress rig commenced drilling the Teal West 21/24d-9 well, targeting the Jurassic Upper Fulmar reservoir.
The well has successfully drilled through the reservoir section and completed all planned subsurface data acquisition, including pressure and fluid sampling.
Preliminary interpretation of the newly acquired subsurface data indicates that the Teal West 2P oil reserves are expected to exceed the initial estimate of 3.4 MMboe.
The well is currently in the completion phase, with operations expected to continue through December 2025.
First oil is expected mid-CY2026.
Greater Marigold Area Development (GMAD)
The Group's interest in the Marigold field (comprising the Marigold West and Marigold East fields) is now 91.25%, following acquisition of Ithaca Energy's 30% interest. The remainder is held by Caldera Petroleum.
Our concept select proposal for GMAD is currently being reviewed for a resubmission to the North Sea Transition Authority.
Potential Corporate ExercisesThe Company is in separate discussions with three reputable independent parties, which include two oil companies, to explore a potential long term strategic investment in Hibiscus.
These discussions are part of the Company's plan to reinforce and accelerate Hibiscus' strategy of building a robust and more diversified long-life energy portfolio whilst strengthening its shareholding structure.
The investment structures being contemplated include a combination of new Hibiscus shares and convertibles in exchange for the injection of predominantly oil and gas producing assets and cash. The issue price of any new Hibiscus share is expected to be determined with reference to prevailing market conditions and the Company's intrinsic valuation.
In the event the discussions lead to the execution of binding agreements, the necessary shareholders' approval will be sought accordingly. Upon successful completion, the relevant investor(s) are expected to become significant shareholder(s) in Hibiscus.
The discussions remain at an early stage of evaluation, and there is no assurance or certainty that they will result in a successful outcome or an investment by any one or more of the parties. Non-disclosure agreements have been signed with all three parties, and accordingly, the identities of the parties cannot be disclosed at this stage. Further announcements will be made in the event of material developments regarding this process in accordance with the Main Market listing requirements of Bursa Securities.
Concluding RemarksDespite current macro headwinds, the Group remains focused on executing its projects across Southeast Asia and the UK North Sea safely and effectively, while always being conscious of costs.
The positive results from the Teal West drilling adds to our previous successes with the Bunga Aster and Bunga Lavatera wells in our PM3 CAA asset.
Looking further ahead, we see opportunities across Malaysia and Brunei to further grow our production and increase our reserves as part of our 2030 Mission, announced in August 2025, to reach a net production rate of 70,000 boe/day and 2P reserves of 150 MMboe.
We are also pleased to report that we received first place for ESG Excellence awarded by the British Malaysian Chamber of Commerce.
Our overall objective has always been to enhance the long-term value of the Group for our shareholders, and we remain committed to this goal.
Kindly note that our Annual General Meeting will be held on 3 December 2025.
