Customer Segment Information Customer segment revenue information for the Group is as follows: 4th Quarter Ended Financial Year Ended 31/12/2025 31/12/2024 31/12/2025 31/12/2024 RM Million RM Million RM Million RM Million Business-to-Consumer (B2C) 1,495.3 1,454.6 5,674.2 5,633.3 Business-to-Business (B2B) 760.5 781.9 2,782.8 2,906.2 Carrier-to-Carrier (C2C) 979.6 780.1 3,292.6 3,061.4 Others/Shared Services 73.3 78.7 284.7 282.6 Inter-segment (52.0) (44.9) (162.3) (171.1) Total 3,256.7 3,050.4 11,872.0 11,712.4 ‌Material Events Subsequent to the End of the Quarter On 24 February 2026, the Group issued a notice to Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and Digital Nasional Berhad (DNB) to terminate the Access Agreement (AA) with DNB dated 30 October 2022 in relation to the 5G Wholesale Network Product (Notice). The Notice is consistent with the provisions of the AA, which grants TM to terminate the agreement within 30 days upon the commercial availability of 5G services by another operator. On 26 January 2026, U Mobile Sdn. Bhd. (U Mobile) issued a Reference Access Offer (RAO) following the commercial availability of its 5G services, thereby triggering the Group's contractual termination option. The termination of the AA remains subject to regulatory consent. As the Notice and the termination option became exercisable post 31 December 2025, this constitutes a non-adjusting event under MFRS 110 Events after the Reporting Period . The unutilised prepaid capacity under the AA with DNB amounting to RM127.3 million as at 31 December 2025, will therefore no longer be available for utilisation. ‌Material Events Subsequent to the End of the Quarter (continued) On 24 February 2026, U Mobile accepted a letter of award for the provision of 5G Multi-Operator Core Network (MOCN) services from TM Technology Services Sdn. Bhd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of TM, which is expected to optimise the Group's mobile access costs in the near term. Save for the above, there is no other material event subsequent to the reporting date that requires disclosure or adjustment to the interim financial statements. ‌Effects of Material Changes in the Composition of the Group There were no material changes in the composition of the Group for the 4th quarter and financial year ended 31 December 2025, save for the dissolution of the following wholly-owned subsidiaries via Member's Voluntary Winding Up.

Review of Performance (a) 4th Quarter 2025 vs 4th Quarter 2024 Group Performance The Group's operating revenue for the quarter was RM3,256.7 million, an increase of 6.8% (RM206.3 million) from RM3,050.4 million in the same quarter last year. The improvement reflects stronger quarter-on-quarter delivery at C2C and B2C from better execution momentum in the second half of the year. Operating profit before other gains and finance costs (EBIT) stood at RM215.5 million, compared to RM512.4 million in the corresponding quarter last year. The performance reflected the impact of higher mobile network infra sharing costs, increased customer acquisition and employee-related costs, arising from voluntary separation requests. The increase in expenses was partially cushioned by other operating income, mainly from the monetisation of copper cables under ongoing network modernisation initiatives. The Group's Profit After Tax and Non-Controlling Interests (PATAMI) amounted to RM222.5 million, compared with RM730.6 million in the corresponding quarter last year. The variance was primarily due to the absence of a material one-off tax credit recognised in 4Q24. Revenue by Customer Segments Business-to-Consumer (B2C) B2C posted operating revenue of RM1,495.3 million in the current quarter, a 2.8% (RM40.7 million) increase from RM1,454.6 million in the same quarter last year. Performance was driven by stronger adoption of converged service bundles and continued traction from targeted device campaigns. Business-to-Business (B2B) B2B recorded operating revenue of RM760.5 million in the current quarter, lower by 2.7% (RM21.4 million) from RM781.9 million in the corresponding quarter last year. The market remains competitive as customers optimise technology spend, with demand increasingly shifting towards managed services, cybersecurity and digital solutions. Carrier-to-Carrier (C2C) C2C delivered operating revenue of RM979.6 million, a 25.6% (RM199.5 million) increase from RM780.1 million in same quarter last year. The strong performance was supported by higher data capacity services and fibre backhaul, driven by continued demand from global technology players and international traffic growth. Review of Performance (continued) (b) Year-on-Year Group Performance The Group's operating revenue delivered a positive year-on-year revenue growth of 1.4% (RM159.6 million) at RM11,872.0 million, compared to RM11,712.4 million, despite a challenging operating environment across telecommunications sector. Continued momentum in data, connectivity and digital services supported overall performance and reflects the resilience of the Group's diversified revenue base. Earnings reflected the impact of higher mobile-related costs, increased customer acquisition expenses, and employee-related costs arising from voluntary separation requests, which are expected to deliver productivity and cost benefits in the near term. EBIT was reported at RM2,025.6 million, compared to RM2,325.1 million, supported by other operating income, including monetisation of copper cables under ongoing network modernisation initiatives. PATAMI of RM1,713.0 million, 15.1% (RM303.9 million) lower than RM2,016.9 million in 2024, reflects the absence of a material one-off tax credit recognised last year, as well as the lower EBIT. This was partially supported by gains from the Group's investment in a technology fund. Revenue by Customer Segments Business-to-Consumer (B2C) B2C recorded operating revenue of RM5,674.2 million during the current financial year, representing a 0.7% year-on-year increase compared to RM5,633.3 million last year. Growth in broadband services, supported by a 1.6% expansion in the customer base of 3.2 million, helped offset the decline in legacy voice services. Business-to-Business (B2B) B2B recorded operating revenue of RM2,782.8 million, compared with RM2,906.2 million last year. The variance was primarily attributable to the absence of a one-off arbitration settlement recognised last year. Excluding this non-recurring item, the segment demonstrated steady underlying performance, supported by growth in solution-based customer projects and digital services. Carrier-to-Carrier (C2C) C2C recorded operating revenue of RM3,292.6 million for the financial year, a 7.6% (RM231.2 million) increase from RM3,061.4 million last year. Performance was supported by steady growth in mobile fibre backhaul, data centre and international data capacity, reinforcing the Group's position as a regional digital hub. Comparison with Preceding Quarter's Results The Group recorded operating revenue of RM3,256.7 million during the current quarter, representing an 8.9% increase from RM2,991.9 million in the preceding quarter. This growth reflects continuous execution momentum, supported by higher contributions from data, internet, other telecommunication and Group's education segment. EBIT stood at RM215.5 million, compared to RM619.8 million in the previous quarter, mainly due to employee-related costs arising from voluntary separation requests and higher foreign exchange losses. PATAMI for the current quarter stood at RM222.5 million, reflecting the consequent impact of EBIT, lower contributions from other gains from the Group's investment in a technology fund, and tax charges reverting closer to the statutory rate. This was partially offset by lower net finance costs from debt settlement. Prospects for the Financial Year Ending 31 December 2026 Economic Outlook Malaysia's economic momentum strengthened towards the year-end, with GDP increasing to 6.3%¹ from 5.4% in 3Q 2025, supporting a stronger full-year economic profile. Headline inflation remained unchanged at 1.3%¹ in 4Q 2025, while the ringgit appreciated against the US dollar. Bank Negara Malaysia maintained the Overnight Policy Rate (OPR) at 2.75%, reflecting continued confidence in the balance between growth and inflation amid global uncertainties. Despite ongoing external risks, Malaysia's economic growth remained resilient. Business Outlook TM Group recorded stronger momentum in the second half of the year, with improved performance across all lines of business. The Group remains focused on strengthening its core business, while accelerating growth in higher-value digital and infrastructure services in line with its PWR2030 strategy. B2C continued to strengthen its position as a convergence champion through Quad-Play campaigns, expand Smart Home solutions, and an enhanced Unifi TV offering, driving deeper customer value household. B2B momentum remains encouraging, driven by expansion of the new core across ICT, cloud and data centre, digital services, cybersecurity and smart solutions, supported by continued partnerships across the enterprise and government segments. 1 Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) Quarterly Bulletin 4Q 2025 dated 13 February 2026 Prospects for the Financial Year Ending 31 December 2026 (continued) Business Outlook (continued) C2C strengthens Malaysia's position as a regional digital hub through AI-ready data centres, expanded submarine capacity, and open landing stations, supporting rising international traffic demand while enabling services such as GPUaaS.

Similarly, the comparative ETR is lower primarily due to the recognition of deferred tax assets relating to previously unrecognised capital allowances.
