Message
From Our
Chairman
Sime Darby Property’s performance in 2025 reflects the strength of these foundations. We recorded our highest profit before tax of RM803.4 million, alongside revenue of RM4.2 billion, supported by continued demand across our core developments and disciplined financial management.
Dear Stakeholders,
The year 2025 was significant for Sime Darby Property, marking the culmination of our SHIFT25 strategy. More importantly, it signals a clear shift in the Group’s direction, as we continue to expand beyond property development into a diversified real estate company. This progress has been shaped not by any single milestone, but by the
consistency of execution and the strength of outcomes delivered over the course of SHIFT25.
8
This performance underscores how the Group has evolved in both capability and direction. Beyond delivering record sales of RM4.2 billion through our Property Development segment, an important shift has been in the broadening of our portfolio and the strengthening of our recurring income base. Our Investment & Asset Management segment recorded its strongest performance to date, while the official launch of Elmina Lakeside Mall and the recent opening of KLGCC Mall – our third wholly owned mall -further reflected the growing depth and diversity of the Group’s portfolio.
Taken together, these developments represent meaningful progress in our transition towards a diversified real estate company – one that is better positioned to sustain performance across market cycles through a more balanced and resilient earnings profile. This has also translated into stronger shareholder value creation, with the Group’s market valuation improving to approximately RM10 billion and price-to-book ratio strengthening to about 1.0x.
Over the past three years, we have delivered annualised Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) of 49.7%, alongside a total dividend payout of RM217.6 million for the year. This performance was recognised at The Edge Billion Ringgit Club 2025, where Sime Darby Property received the award for Highest Returns to Shareholders Over Three Years in the Property Sector (RM3 billion and above market capitalisation category).

Management Discussion and Analysis
Essentially, this evolution remains grounded in the Group’s Purpose: Driving Real Estate as a Value Multiplier for People, Businesses, Economies and the Planet. The true measure of this lies in the value we create—and in 2025, as in previous years, that value has been both tangible and meaningful. In this context, the Group’s role extends beyond development, guided by a clear objective to operate as a Force for Good—ensuring that growth is undertaken responsibly and delivers measurable outcomes over the long term.

Message From Our Chairman
CREATING VALUE FOR PEOPLE
One of the most meaningful ways in which we create value is through the delivery of homes that meet the needs of a broad spectrum of Malaysians. In 2025, we launched approximately 2,865 units across our townships, ranging from affordable homes to higher-end offerings, catering to Malaysians across different life stages and lifestyle needs. This breadth of offering reflects our role not only as a developer, but as a long-term builder of communities, ensuring that access to quality housing remains inclusive and responsive to evolving needs.
Our commitment to quality continues to be reflected in both customer responses and industry recognition. In 2025, Sime Darby Property was named The Edge’s Top Property Developer for the second consecutive year, alongside recognition for Best in Qualitative Attributes, including quality, innovation and sustainable development practices. At the same time, our leadership and developments were recognised at the FIABCI Malaysia Property Awards, where Dato’ Seri Azmir Merican was honoured as Property CEO of the Year, reflecting the collective efforts of the team and the strength of the organisation.
Beyond the homes we build, we continue to create value through structured community initiatives that support inclusive and sustainable livelihoods. Through our flagship Economic Empowerment Programme (“EEP”), we supported microentrepreneurs in building sustainable livelihoods to grow their businesses. In 2025, EEP participants recorded an average income growth of 242%, with 79% achieving monthly earnings of RM7,643, demonstrating the tangible impact of these efforts.
In 2025, Sime Darby Property was named The Edge’s Top Property Developer for the second consecutive year, alongside recognition for Best in Qualitative Attributes, including quality, innovation and sustainable development
practices.
More broadly, our community initiatives continued to make a meaningful difference, reaching over 76,000 beneficiaries through targeted programmes, and more than 360,000 individuals through donations and sponsorships, supported by total contributions of RM24.9 million. These efforts -spanning education, community support, environmental stewardship and partnerships – reflect our commitment to uplifting lives and fostering resilient, inclusive communities.
Within the Group, we invest significantly in our people, recognising that a resilient and capable workforce is fundamental to sustaining long-term performance. In response to rising living costs, we have ensured that all employees are paid above the minimum wage of RM2,700, reinforcing our commitment to financial stability and employee well-being.
This is complemented by continued investments in capability development, leadership programmes, and employee engagement, ensuring that our workforce remains equipped to support the Group’s evolving business model. These efforts are anchored in a shared culture guided by our TEAM Values: Together we do what’s right; We lead with Excellence; We embrace new Approaches; and We Make things happen.
We continue to invest in capability development and leadership programmes, ensuring that our workforce remains equipped to support the Group’s evolving business model

CREATING VALUE FOR BUSINESSES & THE ECONOMY
Sustainability Statement
Given our more than 50-year history, Sime Darby Property has played an integral role in shaping the physical and economic landscape in Malaysia, through the creation of integrated townships and business ecosystems. Our developments enable economic activity, generate employment, and support a wide network of contractors, consultants and partners across the value chain.
Across our townships, our retail and commercial developments serve as important platforms for business activity, supporting a diverse mix of tenants ranging from local entrepreneurs to established brands. These developments contribute to the vibrancy of our townships, creating opportunities for businesses to grow while enhancing connectivity between where people live, work, and spend their time.
At the same time, our industrial and logistics offerings across key growth corridors, including the Klang Valley and Negeri Sembilan, continue to support Malaysia’s evolving economic priorities. Strong take-up rates across our industrial parks reflect sustained demand from both local and international businesses, reinforcing the relevance of our integrated, well-located developments.
Additional Information
Collectively, these developments contribute to employment creation at scale, supporting a broad base of economic activity across our townships and business parks.

The Board is also encouraged by Sime Darby Property’s partnerships with SD Guthrie to develop a next-gen industrial corridor linking industrial activities with the Selangor State’s port-city ambitions, aligning with Malaysia’s New Industrial Master Plan and our shared vision to multiply long-term stakeholder value. This holistic development corridor will enable efficient supply chain clustering, stimulate regional enterprise, and generate sustainable socioeconomic value for surrounding communities.

Message From Our Chairman
CREATING VALUE FOR THE PLANET
Sustainability remains a central part in how Sime Darby Property plans, develops and manages its assets. As expectations around climate resilience and responsible development continue to evolve, the Group remains committed to embedding sustainability into its long-term strategy and decision-making.
Our approach is anchored on collaboration, recognising that meaningful progress requires partnerships across the public and private sectors. During the year, we continued to advance initiatives across renewable energy, urban biodiversity and sustainable development, reflecting our commitment to building more resilient and future-ready communities.
Urban biodiversity remains a defining focus for the Group. Through ongoing initiatives and platforms such as our inaugural Urban Biodiversity Conference, we are contributing to a broader dialogue on integrating nature into urban development, while supporting more sustainable approaches to placemaking.
These efforts are supported by a strengthened sustainability framework under our Sustainability Strategy and Roadmap 2030 (“SSR2030”), which provides a clearer structure, accountability and alignment with the Group’s long-term priorities. The Board, together with the Board Sustainability Committee, continues to play an active role in guiding this agenda, ensuring that sustainability considerations are integrated into strategic decision-making and risk management.
GOVERNANCE
The Group continues to operate within a well-established governance framework, supported by clear structures, defined accountabilities and robust systems of risk management and internal control. During the year, there were no material changes to the Group’s governance structure, Board committees or delegated authorities, reflecting the strength and maturity of our existing framework.
This stability is complemented by a disciplined approach to oversight across key areas, including financial and capital management, major investments and transactions, enterprise risk, regulatory developments, and health, safety and sustainability matters. These remain central to the Board’s responsibilities as the Group navigates an evolving operating environment.
At the same time, the Group has implemented targeted enhancements to strengthen governance practices in specific areas. These include improvements to conflict-of-interest management protocols, the formalisation of sustainability governance under SSR2030, and a continued strengthening of risk and compliance oversight, including greater focus on climate-related risks.
These efforts were recognised during the year when Sime Darby Property was named the Industry Excellence Award winner (Property) at the National Annual Corporate Governance & Sustainability Awards (“NACGSA”) 2025, and ranked among the Top 5 overall Public Listed Companies in Malaysia, making it the highest-ranked property developer on the list. This recognition reflects the strength of the Group’s governance practices and its continued commitment to high standards of accountability and sustainability.

Group Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer’s Review
Dear Stakeholders,
FY2025 marked another defining year for Sime Darby Property, delivering record financial and operational performance and culminating in the successful execution of our SHIFT25 transformation journey. The Group achieved its highest profit before tax (“PBT”) of RM803.4 million, with revenue of RM4.2 billion and operating profit of RM895.3 million.
Profit after tax and minority interest (“PATAMI”) rose to RM517.7 million, reflecting the resilience, consistency, and quality of our earnings.
This performance reflects consistent growth over the SHIFT25 period, with revenue, operating profit and PATAMI growing at a CAGR of 17%, 30% and 37%, respectively.
Our Property Development segment remained the core driver of performance, achieving record sales of RM4.2 billion, supported by launches with a combined Gross Development Value (“GDV”) of RM3.6 billion. This momentum is further underpinned by unbilled sales of RM3.9 billion, providing earnings visibility over the next three years.
When we introduced SHIFT25 in 2021, we set out to reposition Sime Darby Property from a pure play property developer to a real estate company with recurring income. I am pleased to share that we were able to achieve our key targets, strengthening our core development business while expanding our recurring income portfolio and improving earnings visibility. This has translated into a meaningful uplift in shareholder value, with an average market capitalisation of approximately RM10 billion in 2025 and a Total Shareholder Return of 18.7% over the 5-year strategy period.
As we conclude SHIFT25 from a position of strength, our focus now shifts toward building on these foundations to drive our next phase of growth and long-term value creation.

Group Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer’s Review
OUR POSITIONING IN A RESILIENT & EVOLVING MARKET
Malaysia’s economy remained resilient in 2025, supported by GDP growth of 5.2%, lower inflation at 1.4%, and a 25-basis-point reduction in the Overnight Policy Rate to 2.75%. This translated into continued strength across the property market, with transaction values growing 4.1% year-on-year, reflecting sustained confidence and positive sentiment.
Within this environment, demand remained firm for well-located, high-quality developments, particularly within industrial and integrated township segments. At the same time, increasing supply and cost pressures have introduced a more competitive operating landscape.
Against this backdrop, Sime Darby Property’s positioning is anchored on three key strengths.
First, portfolio diversification. Our balance across township development, industrial, and income-generating assets allows us to capture growth opportunities while mitigating cyclical volatility. This enables us to sustain performance even as market conditions evolve.
Second, integrated development ecosystems. Our townships are designed not as standalone projects, but as interconnected environments that combine residential, commercial, and industrial components. This enhances long-term value, strengthens demand resilience, and aligns with how communities and businesses increasingly operate.
Third, disciplined execution and partnerships. Through structured capital allocation and strategic collaborations, we are able to unlock land value, accelerate development, and scale efficiently without overextending capital. This is particularly relevant in capital-intensive segments such as industrial, logistics, and data infrastructure.
Importantly, structural demand drivers—such as supply chain reconfiguration, e-commerce growth, and industrial expansion—continue to support the long-term outlook of the industrial and logistics segment, reinforcing our strategic focus in this space.
SEGMENT OVERVIEW
PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT
The Property Development segment continues to anchor Group performance, supported by a diversified product mix and strong take-up across key townships.
The industrial segment remains the largest contributor, accounting for RM1.5 billion or 36% of total sales, reflecting sustained demand for logistics and industrial facilities. Residential landed contributed RM1.1 billion (26%), residential high-rise RM1.0 billion (24%), and commercial RM537.9 million (13%).
Across launches, industrial led with RM1.3 billion (37% of GDV), followed by residential landed at RM1.3 billion (36%), high-rise at RM520.6 million (15%), and commercial at RM434.0 million (12%).
16
Leadership Insights
INVESTMENT & ASSET MANAGEMENT
Overview of Sime Darby Property
The segment continues to scale as a key pillar of recurring income, supported by a clear strategy and a strong foundation to deliver sustainable performance.
With Assets Under Management of RM2.8 billion, further strengthened by two long-term data centre leases valued at RM7.6 billion, the segment supports the Group’s longterm objective of achieving a 70:30 recurring income mix.
Value Creation
Management Discussion and Analysis
Growth is driven by strong retail performance, high occupancy of logistics assets, and expansion of asset classes, including the second data centre and build-to-suit industrial facilities. These initiatives strengthen income visibility while improving overall earnings quality.

During the year, we also accelerated land monetisation through the activation of new townships including Vision Business Park in MVV 2.0 and Bandar Bukit Raja Business Park, strengthening our growth pipeline and unlocking longterm value.
At the same time, we are progressively expanding beyond our traditional build-to-sell approach to include build-to-lease and build-to-suit offerings, alongside a broader product mix within the industrial and logistics development portfolio, supporting the Group’s strategy to strengthen recurring income streams.
This diversified mix continues to support both performance and resilience, while enabling us to respond to evolving market demand.
LEISURE
Financial Statements
Governance
The Leisure business delivered stable performance in FY2025 with a Revenue of RM105.5 million. Golf remained the primary revenue contributor, driven by higher participation across our clubs. KLGCC further reinforced its position as a premier tournament venue, hosting the LPGA-sanctioned Maybank Championship for the third time, alongside the Faldo Futures and Junior Tour—its first at the club—underscoring our commitment in nurturing the next generation of golfers.
Additional Information
Furthermore, we invested significantly in upgrading our assets, with a capital expenditure (“CAPEX”) of approximately RM65 million to enhance key facilities, including turf renovation works, the acquisition of buggy and golf course machinery, and the refurbishment of the KLGCC Convention Centre, to elevate customer experience while strengthening long-term appeal and relevance.

Group Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer’s Review
INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTS
Our international portfolio continues to progress, with a focus on strengthening asset performance and expanding into new growth markets.
In the United Kingdom, Battersea Power Station remains a key flagship asset, attracting over 13.6 million visitors in 2025 and more than 40 million since opening. Phase 3B (Koa) achieved 86% sales, while 50 Electric Boulevard is approximately 45% leased, with established tenants in place. While broader market conditions remained challenging, performance improved year-on-year, with a lower share of losses. Our focus remains on enhancing leasing momentum and income visibility. For future development phases, we have appointed Studio Egret West to evolve the masterplan in line with changing lifestyle and workspace expectations.
In Australia, we made our first entry into Melbourne through the acquisition of a multi-storey carpark at 380 Queen Street, the site of our AURUM development. The project will have a residential component with an estimated GDV of approximately AUD1 billion. It will also introduce purpose built student accommodation (“PBSA”). This project marks our entry into a mature and resilient real estate market, and introduces PBSA as a new asset class for the Group, addressing strong demand from the city’s large international student population. Strategically located in Melbourne’s Central Business District near major landmarks, we are targeting the launch of the build-to-sell residential offering in 2026.
SUSTAINABILITY & RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT
Sustainability is embedded in how we plan, design, and operate our developments, reflecting our responsibility as a developer shaping communities and environments over the long term.
Aligned with our beliefs as a company and as a collective of people, we see ourselves as a Force for Good—using our resources to deliver outcomes that contribute positively to the world around us.
Guided by our Sustainability Strategy and Roadmap 2030 (“SSR2030”), we have integrated environmental and social considerations into our business strategy, risk management, and operational decision-making. The roadmap is structured around four pillars—Energy and Carbon, Urban Biodiversity, Climate Resilience, and Community Experience—and supported by six strategic imperatives that drive execution and accountability.

ADVANCING ENERGY TRANSITION
During the year, we expanded rooftop solar installations across key assets and accelerated the adoption of green energy solutions through initiatives such as the Green Electricity Tariff (“GET”).
In parallel, we supported advancement of Malaysia’s energy transition through the launch of the nation’s first residential solar initiative under the National Energy Transition Roadmap (“NETR”), introducing a scalable rooftop leasing model that enables homeowners to participate in clean energy generation. This is complemented by our collaboration with Tenaga Nasional Berhad (“TNB”) under the Community Renewable Energy Aggregation Mechanism (“CREAM”), exploring enabling of residential solar generation to support nearby commercial and industrial demand—collectively advancing a scalable, decentralised clean energy model in support of our Net Zero 2050 ambitions.
These two pioneering projects will lead the way of how future Sime Darby Property townships can be more sustainable and generate part of its own energy needs.

ENHANCING URBAN BIODIVERSITY
Our developments continue to incorporate biodiversity corridors, integrating natural ecosystems within urban environments.
In 2025, we hosted the inaugural Urban Biodiversity Conference, bringing together close to 500 policymakers, planners, and industry stakeholders to engage and dialogue on biodiversity and its importance in urban and suburban developments. This platform not only facilitated knowledge exchange but also contributed to shaping broader discourse on biodiversity integration within urban development.

Group Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer’s Review
The establishment of the Performance Analytics & Command Centre enhances visibility across operations and supports more informed, data-driven decision-making.
STRENGTHENING OUR FOUNDATIONS FOR GROWTH
As we scale into a more diversified real estate platform, strengthening organisational capability, digital integration, and operational discipline remains critical to sustaining long-term growth.
During the year, we continued to invest in building a future-ready organisation. This included structured leadership development, targeted capability-building programmes, and expanded access to continuous learning. This includes programmes such as the Accelerated Leadership Programme in collaboration with Melbourne Business School, as well as the implementation of Individual Development Plans to support personalised growth and succession readiness. In 2025 alone, we invested RM7.6 million in learning and development, delivering over 124,800 learning hours across the Group. These efforts are complemented by cross-functional exposure and structured development pathways to ensure our people are equipped to support evolving business priorities.
At the same time, we have begun laying the foundations for a more integrated, data-enabled operating model. This includes the establishment of a Performance Analytics & Command Centre (“PACC”) and the development of an AI-enabled data platform, in enhancing visibility across operations and support more informed, data-driven decision-making. Efforts to integrate systems across the value chain—from sales to delivery—are ongoing, with the aim of streamlining processes, reducing manual intervention, and improving the overall customer journey. While these capabilities are still being built and operationalised, they represent important steps toward strengthening our digital infrastructure and long-term efficiency.
Safety remains a core priority and a fundamental responsibility. During the year, we strengthened our safety practices through targeted interventions, leadership-led engagements, and the adoption of AI-enabled tools—piloted under the Bengkel Inovasi GLC (“BIG”) programme, including SafePass AI and Guardian AI—to enhance risk detection, enable realtime monitoring, and drive more consistent enforcement of safety standards across our operations.
Despite our efforts, we recorded two fatalities during the year, which we consider an unacceptable outcome from our operations. We remain firmly committed to achieving zero fatalities through stronger controls, building a strong safety culture, greater accountability, and sustained vigilance across all operations and partners.
Collectively, these initiatives strengthen the foundations required to support our next phase of growth—ensuring that we scale not only with performance, but with the right capabilities, systems, and discipline.
LOOKING AHEAD
The Malaysian economy in 2026 is projected to grow between 4.0% and 4.5%, supported by domestic demand, investment activity, and a stable monetary environment. While these conditions are expected to sustain property demand, we anticipate a more competitive landscape driven by increased supply and evolving customer expectations.

Leadership Insights
We also take cognisance of a more uncertain and volatile global operating environment and the potential impacts and disruptions to supply chains and how our operations could be affected.
Sime Darby Property enters FY2026 from a position of strength. Our balance sheet remains robust, supported by a cash balance of RM702.1 million and a net gearing ratio of 35.9%. During the year, we also successfully issued RM800 million in Sukuk at competitive pricing, reflecting continued market confidence in our fundamentals and long-term strategy.
Looking ahead, we will:
-
Deliver RM4.7 billion in planned launches
-
Expand industrial and investment fund portfolios
-
Progress our first hyperscale data centre
-
Continue diversifying geographically, including developments in Melbourne
Sime Darby Property officially refreshed its brand identity in 2025, making a pivotal milestone in our transformation into a future -focused real estate company.
