Key takeaways from the call are as follows:

JurisTech monetisation enters its first phase

Management said that JurisTech (unlisted) is now considered a non-core investment after Research Analysts

the strategic synergies envisaged at acquisition failed to materialise, although the financial Malaysia Banks

investment performed reasonably well, with JurisTech’s profit recording a 14% y-y CAGR Tushar Mohata, CFA - NSM

between 2021 and 2025. According to management, the 10% stake sale values JurisTech tushar.mohata@nomura.com

at MYR500mn, or approximately 17x FY25 earnings, with almost all the MYR50mn +60(3)20276895

proceeds being returned through a MYR24.5mn special dividend and MYR24.5mn of Research Associates

share buybacks. CTOS intends to pursue an IPO or third-party sale of its remaining 39%

Malaysia Banksstake in JurisTech within 18 months, extendable by six months, and believes the eventual

Alpa Aggarwal, CFA - NSFSPLvaluation could exceed 17x earnings. If an exit does not materialise, CTOS retains the

option to repurchase the 10% stake for MYR50mn. Management is also reviewing the

strategic relevance of its other associates, which could create further value-unlocking

opportunities.

Management highlights earnings from continuing operations

According to management, the JurisTech disposal is expected to be broadly earnings-

neutral in FY26E, as the MYR1.6mn disposal gain should offset the estimated MYR1.6mn
