There have not been any significant changes in the differences between the carrying amount and fair value of financial instruments carried at other than fair value from the disclosures in note 44(b) of the Group's audited financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2024, other than below:

1. Review of Performance

   1. 1st Quarter 2025 vs 1st Quarter 2024

      1. Group Performance

         The Group's operating revenue for the current quarter stood at RM2,851.5 million, a 0.5% (RM14.5 million) increase from RM2,837.0 million recorded in 1st quarter last year. This was primarily attributable to higher revenue from data, other telecommunication services and education segment.

         The Group recorded an operating profit before other gains and finance cost of RM550.3 million for the quarter, compared to RM650.9 million in the corresponding quarter last year. The year-on-year variance was mainly due to the shift in recognition of 5G access costs, higher device costs in line with stronger device revenue and unfavourable foreign exchange movements.

         Consequently, the Group's Profit After Tax and Non-Controlling Interests (PATAMI) for the quarter was RM401.2 million, a 5.6% (RM23.6 million) decrease from RM424.8 million in the first quarter of 2024.

      2. Revenue by Customer Segments Business-to-Consumer (B2C)

         B2C reported operating revenue of RM1,386.4 million in the current quarter, a 0.7% (RM9.8 million) decrease from RM1,396.2 million in the same quarter last year. The softer performance was primarily due to a decline in Internet revenue amid an increasingly competitive market landscape. However, this was partially offset by growth in device revenue during the quarter, reflecting resilience in B2C's broader portfolio.

         Business-to-Business (B2B)

         B2B recorded an operating revenue of RM668.7 million for the current quarter, a 0.6% (RM4.3 million) decline from RM673.0 million in the corresponding quarter last year. The Group gained a positive traction of 8.7% (RM19.7 million) growth of Beyond Connectivity revenue, driven by stronger performance in customer projects, outsourcing business, ICT services including cloud and cybersecurity.

         Carrier-to-Carrier (C2C)

         C2C's operating revenue increased by 2.4% (RM18.1 million) from RM742.8 million in the same quarter last year to RM760.9 million, primarily driven by higher revenue from international data and growing demand for data centre services.

2. Comparison with Preceding Quarter's Results

   The Group's operating revenue for the current quarter stood at RM2,851.5 million, a 6.5% (RM198.9 million) decrease from RM3,050.4 million in the preceding quarter, primarily attributed to lower data, Internet and other telecommunication services.

   Operating profit before other gains and finance cost improved to RM550.3 million, a 7.4% increase (RM37.9 million) from RM512.4 million in the previous quarter from lower operating costs compared to 4th quarter 2024.

   The Group's PATAMI for the quarter was RM401.2 million, 45.1% (RM329.4 million) lower than the preceding quarter, mainly due to the absence of a one-off tax credit. Current performance reflects the normal profit trajectory under the standard corporate tax rate.

3. Prospects for the Current Financial Year Economic Outlook

The Malaysian economy expanded by 4.4%1in the first quarter of 2025, supported by strong domestic demand and a healthy labour market. However, this may be revised downward amid uncertainty from recent U.S. tariff actions. Headline inflation was 1.5% in Q1 2025, with the OPR held steady at 3.0%, reflecting stable and manageable conditions.

TM entered 2025 from a position of strength, built on a strong foundation, a resilient business model, and a clear commitment to long-term value creation. Despite the challenging landscape marked by rising competition and shifting cost dynamics, the Group continues to demonstrate operational discipline and strategic clarity.

First-quarter revenue grew as expected, within the projected low single-digit range. Growth in B2B digital solutions and sustained C2C demand helped offset softer B2C performance.

TM remains focused on strengthening its core, scaling enterprise and digital services, and enhancing cost efficiency, ensuring we remain on track to deliver our 2025 commitments. Each business segment plays a vital role in driving this ambition:

• B2C continues to advance digital convergence for homes and MSMEs, leveraging its position as Malaysia's only quad-play provider. Through integrated broadband, mobile, content, and voice services, we are enhancing customer experience with AI-driven predictive maintenance and personalised support.

1. Prospects for the Current Financial Year (continued) Business Outlook (continued)

   • B2B sustains its momentum in the enterprise and public sector with enterprise-grade connectivity, private 5G, cybersecurity, and smart services. As the National Cloud Provider, TM is driving digital transformation through secure, sovereign, and scalable cloud infrastructure.

   • C2C continues to strengthen Malaysia's position as a regional digital hub through AI-ready data centres, edge facilities, and submarine cables. Our GPU-as-a-Service is gaining momentum, while C2C supports licensed service providers with robust 5G and fibre backhaul. The recent announcement on signing with U Mobile Sdn Bhd related to 5G mobile backhaul reflects TM's commitment to the Government's 5G Dual Network initiative. TM supports both networks and remains committed to delivering seamless, reliable 5G services through its nationwide fibre infrastructure. This marks a phased and positive development, reinforcing TM's role in advancing national 5G ambitions.

     Despite near-term headwinds, TM maintains a confident outlook driven by disciplined execution, strategic investment, and a forward-looking approach to value creation.

*Cash flow hedges accounted for under hedge accounting.

The fair values of existing Interest Rate Swaps (IRS) arise from the changes in present value of their respective future cash flows against the prevailing market interest rates. The fair values of existing forward foreign exchange components of the contracts are determined by comparing forward exchange market rates at the balance sheet date against prevailing foreign exchange rates.

The Mark to Market (MTM) on the IRS is positive when the expectation of relevant future interest rates increases and vice versa. The MTM on a forward contract is positive when the expectation of USD against RM currency is strengthened and vice versa.

The MTM on the CCIRS is positive when the expectation of the relevant foreign currency against RM strengthens or the expectation of future RM interest rate increases and vice versa.
