How has the company's outlook/guidance changed?

TMP is navigating through a challenging environment by expanding its representation in

EVs while retaining its leadership in ICEs. Management is targeting xEV share of sales at

12–15%, supported by a broader lineup and a focus on more affordable hybrid

offerings. Upcoming launches, including a battery electric Hilux and hybrid Land Cruiser,

underscore efforts to scale electrification, although supply constraints remain a key risk

amid strong global demand and ongoing geopolitical disruptions. At the same time,

TMP is defending its market leadership by maximizing its ICE portfolio—still the

dominant segment of the market—and leveraging high-volume models and the

Tamaraw, which recently secured a PUV certification, effectively expanding its

addressable market.
