8 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ( A) CHAIRMAN S STATEMENT TAN SRI DATO LEE SHIN CHENG Executive Chairman DEAR SHAREHOLDERS, On behalf of the Board of Directors and the management, it gives me great pleasure to present to you the Annual Report of IOI Properties Group Berhad ( IOIPG ) for the financial year ended 30 June ( FY ). GROUP PERFORMANCE For the financial year under review, the Group recorded a revenue of RM4,185 million and profit before taxation ( PBT ) of RM1,437 million compared to the previous financial year of RM3,025 million and RM1,525 million respectively. The increase in revenue of approximately 38% was mainly attributable to increased contributions from the Group s business segments of property development, property investment and leisure & hospitality. Group revenue was mainly driven by our property development segment with revenue contribution of RM3,714 million, followed by RM302 million from property investment, RM162 million from leisure & hospitality and RM7 million from other operations. In terms of revenue contribution in the property development segment, it was largely from our projects in Singapore at 47%, Klang Valley at 27%, People s Republic of China ( PRC ) at 13%, Johor at 10%, and others (Penang, Melaka and Negeri Sembilan) at 3%. For our property investment segment, increase in revenue was mainly from IOI City Mall due to higher rental income attributable to increased occupancy rate. Meanwhile, the opening of Le Méridien Putrajaya hotel in August 2016 has contributed to an increase in revenue contribution to the leisure & hospitality segment. For the financial year under review, the Group achieved total sales of RM2,847 million (2,296 units), an increase of 29% from the previous financial year of RM2,214 million (2,368 units). The Group s overseas projects in Singapore and PRC accounted for 46% and 15% respectively of total sales. Sales from our overseas projects are attributable to the Trilinq project in Singapore and IOI Palm City project in the PRC. Domestic sales from the Klang Valley which accounted for 29% of total sales were mainly attributable to projects in IOI Resort City, 16 Sierra and Warisan Puteri Sepang. 6

9 ANNUAL REPORT CHAIRMAN S STATEMENT REVENUE FROM THE GROUP S OPERATING SEGMENTS South Beach, Singpore PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT RM3,714 million PROPERTY INVESTMENT RM302 million LEISURE & HOSPITALITY RM162 million As at 30 June, the Group s financial position remained strong with total assets at RM33,628 million, an increase of 47% from the previous financial year of RM22,810 million and cash in hand at RM2,376 million. Meanwhile, the Group s net assets per share stood at RM3.31. A more detailed analysis of the Group s performance is available under the section Management s Discussion and Analysis in this Annual Report. Le Méridien Putrajaya OPERATING ENVIRONMENT In the second quarter of, the global economy expanded by 3.1% attributable to improved economic conditions in advanced economies and robust economic growth in emerging and developing economies. Meanwhile, the US economy expanded by 2.1% due to strong domestic and external demand. The PRC s economy expanded by 6.9% supported by growth of 8.2% in real estate investment as property sales and investment remained strong in lower-tier cities. 7

10 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ( A) CHAIRMAN S STATEMENT Malaysia s economy posted a strong growth of 5.8% in the second quarter of supported by improved external sector and domestic demand which expanded by 5.7%, attributable to robust private sector activities. Private sector spending grew by 7.1% due to increased disposable income driven by stable employment conditions and improved export earnings. In the first half of, the residential property market remained challenging. Continued tight lending conditions have impacted sales volume and values of residential properties. The Trilinq, Singapore Singapore s economy grew by more than 2% in the second quarter of driven by the manufacturing sector. Private home sales increased in the second quarter of driven by secondary sales market, in line with improved market sentiments following the relaxation of certain property cooling measures for example, the easing of the sellers stamp duty in the first quarter of. Meanwhile, the primary sales market continued to perform with increase of 4.3%. Improvement in property sales and lower inventory of unsold units in the second quarter of may signal that the residential property market has bottomed out. Property cooling measures have continued in many cities in the PRC in the first half of, with banks imposing more stringent lending policy and increased interest rate on property mortgages, which have impacted transaction volumes and property prices in the first and second tier cities. Even though the impact of cooling measures may persist in the short term, value of properties is expected to continue to hold in first and second tier cities in the longer term. As the Group holds a long term view on the PRC which it considers as having vast development and investment potential, we will continue to monitor developments in the property market in the PRC.

Xiamen is the second largest city and main commercial hub in the Fujian province and has one of the busiest ports in the PRC. The Xiamen North Railway Station is a key stop on the high-speed coastal route of the China Rail Network, linking Xiamen to other major cities within the Fujian province, as well as cities such as Guangzhou and Shenzhen.

The Group is optimistic on the proposed joint venture and collaboration with HKL, a member of Jardine Matheson Group for the joint management and development of Central Boulevard into a landmark development in the central business district of Singapore. As our retail, hospitality and office developments are situated in urban and strategically located areas, these investment properties such as IOI City Mall, IOI Mall in Puchong and IOI Boulevard are expected to continue to enjoy healthy occupancies and generate good rental yields.

22 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ( A) MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS GROUP FINANCIAL REVIEW Notwithstanding the challenges faced, the Group remained focus and continued on delivering sustainable long term shareholders value. The Group s revenue surged to a record high of RM4.2 billion for the financial year ended 30 June ( FY ), which is 38% higher than the previous financial year. The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to the property development segment whereby it registered an increase of RM1.1 billion revenue to RM3.7 billion, which amounted to 89% of Group s total revenue. Property Investment, Leisure and Hospitality, and other segment contributed to the remaining 11%. Dumalis, 16 Sierra >> The Group s Profit Before Interest and Tax ( PBIT ), after excluding the fair value gain from investment properties of RM56.2 million and share of results of joint ventures and associate of RM2.3 million (similarly excluding the fair value gain of RM145.4 million, the one off gain of RM71.1 million arising from the bargain purchase on the acquisition of subsidiaries and share of results of joint ventures and associates of RM177.5 million, for which the share of results was mainly attributable to the fair value gain arisen from the office tower and retail components in an investment property in Singapore), has improved 23.5% to RM1.3 billion. 20

23 ANNUAL REPORT MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS GROUP FINANCIAL REVIEW La Thea Residences, 16 Sierra The Group s PBIT (after excluding the fair value gain as mentioned) of RM1.3 billion is mainly derived from property development segment, whereby the Group s overseas development projects in Xiamen, PRC are progressing well, with the completion of Trilinq project in Singapore and together with the enhanced performance of our development projects in Klang Valley, all have contributed significantly to the increase. For FY, the Group has invested total of RM8.8 billion, out of which RM8.3 billion was for the acquisition of a prime Central Business District land measuring approximately 1.1 hectares located within Marina Bay in the Republic of Singapore, RM329.5 million on acquisition of development land and common infrastructure for property development projects, RM138.6 million for property investment projects in Singapore, and RM109.1 million for Capital Expenditures ( CAPEX ) comprised largely enhancement and expansion of hotel facilities. The Group s Shareholders Equity as of 30 June stood at RM18.2 billion, an increase of RM2.3 billion or 15% over the previous financial year. The said increase was mainly due to issuance of ordinary share capital of RM1.5 billion, foreign currency gain on translation of foreign operations of RM262.6 million, and total earnings of RM920.9 million offset by a total dividend payment of RM352.9 million for the financial year. The Group s gross borrowing as of 30 June stood at RM12.5 billion, an increase of RM8.2 billion when compared with the previous financial year. The said increase was mainly due to additional financing for the acquisition of a prime Central Business District land measuring approximately 1.1 hectares located within Marina Bay in the Republic of Singapore. THE GROUP SHAREHOLDERS EQUITY RM18.2 billion DIVIDEND 6.0 sen per ordinary share 21

24 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ( A) MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS GROUP FINANCIAL REVIEW Palms Cafe, Palm Garden Hotel THE GROUP S DIVIDEND EQUATES TO A DIVIDEND PAYOUT OF 36% OUT OF TOTAL EARNINGS ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE OWNERS OF THE PARENT. The Group s Net Interest Cover was 5.71 times (FY2016: 9.97 times). The decrease was due mainly to increase in Group s borrowings for investment activities that resulted in higher gross interest costs increased from RM147.2 million to RM242.4 million. The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in the light of changes in economic conditions and optimises debt and equity mix to provide value to shareholders. The Group actively monitors its operating cash flows, debt maturing profile, and the availability of funding against its overall debt position so as to ensure all operating, investing and financing requirements as well as the loan covenants imposed by the financial institutions are met. An interim single tier dividend of 6% or 6 sen per ordinary share amounting to total payout of RM330.4 million was declared and paid in respect of financial year ended 30 June. It equates to a dividend payout of 36% out of total earnings attributable to the owners of the parent, with a dividend yield of 2.83% (based on share price of RM2.12 per share as at dividend declaration date of August 15, ). The Group has yet to formalise its dividend policy. However, based on the Group s dividend records for the two (2) financial years 2016 &, the dividend payout is at least 33% of the total Group s earnings attributable to the owners of the parent. 22

27 ANNUAL REPORT MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS GROUP BUSINESS REVIEW PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT Klang Valley During FY2016, the Group recorded an increase in transaction for properties within the price range of RM400,000 to RM650,000. With its vast and strategic land banks within high growth corridors across different geographical regions, the Group was able to develop properties that addressed the current needs of customers targeting affordable medium cost properties in its comprehensive integrated townships that are well complemented with urban facilities and lifestyle amenities. These are well-connected too via a comprehensive network of convenient infrastructure and are highly accessible via major highways. (a) In Bandar Puchong Jaya, IOIPG completed a regeneration and rejuvenation project at Capitol Square which includes a retail and carpark complex. The new Ampang LRT extension line serving the vicinity bodes well for this development. (b) IOIPG also saw the completion and handover of Seri Puteri Hills townvilla and condo in Bandar Puteri Puchong to purchasers. (c) Bandar Puchong Jaya welcomed new home owners of Park Ville condo completed and handed over by IOIPG. (d) In our new township of Bandar Puteri Bangi complete with the newly opened Tesco hypermarket, proud property owners of the township s maiden batch of development received their keys to the newly completed link houses Teresse 1 and Teresse 2; as well as Kubica shop offices. (e) The Group also completed and handed over its newly completed double-storey linkhouses of 196 units of Evira and 182 units of Avista in its new township of Warisan Puteri Sepang. The Group is embarking on Transit Oriented Developments ( TOD ) and Low Carbon City Development that provides convenience of connectivity to visitors and to the communities within its township developments. In Bandar Puteri Puchong, a thriving mature township is an excellent showcase of the Group s highly accessible and wellconnected developments. Interconnecting roads link this township to its neighbouring developments; and its infrastructure is supported by public transportation via two LRT stations, Stesen Taman Perindustrian Puchong and Stesen Bandar Puteri. The township is connected too to the LDP at three main points namely at the township interchange itself, and at two other intersections into Puchong Perdana and Puchong Utama respectively. It is this excellent network of infrastructure that appeals to international and MSC status companies as well as multinational corporate firms that have set up their base in the various commercial hubs of Bandar Puteri Puchong namely Puchong Financial Corporate Centre PFCC, the Puteri 2 commercial centre and the boutique offices at The Cube amongst others. With the entry of the millennials into the job market and ultimately making its mark in the demographics of the urban population, the Group has positioned its current and future developments to capture the imagination of this young and highly lifestyle-conscious target market. Therefore, the Group is embarking on an all-new, exciting lifestyle development to further jazz up the already vibrant commercial hubs along Lebuh Puteri, the main spine of vitality that extends into the exclusive residential enclaves of Bandar Puteri Puchong. Enjoying the best of both worlds, the Rejuvenated, Innovative and Original of RIO at IOI RIO City, located in Bandar Puteri Puchong is an 80-acre urban hub of contemporary living spaces; with secure work spaces that inspires; retail and hotel components that offer a whole new world of discovery with the allure of exclusivity; and all these are well-connected with landscaped walkways interlaced with green spaces. Meanwhile, Warisan Puteri Sepang continues its significant contribution towards the Group s revenue with its leverage on the student and tech customer segments of the nearby academic hubs of Xiamen University and Cyberjaya Technology City as well as its connectivity via highways and the ERL. In IOI Resort City Putrajaya, the Group via its 99.9% owned subsidiary, Pine Properties Sdn Bhd has entered into a strategic collaboration of a JV venture with Mitsubishi Jisho Residence Investments Pte Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi Estate Co. Ltd on The Gems condominium development. The Gems is to be developed on a freehold land measuring approximately 9.6 acres in IOI Resort City, Putrajaya. Consisting of eight blocks of highend residential units with sizes ranging from 1,250 sq ft 1,750 sq ft, the development of The Gems is scheduled to commence in FY2018 and is expected to be completed in the course of 4 years. In the face of the current market challenges, the Group intensified its advertising and promotion campaigns with strong focus on its digital marketing strategy; amongst which includes search engine optimisation and content marketing via social media and online platforms. In striving to drive efficiency and profits, the Group leverages on data analytics, anticipating customer behaviour of targetted market segments for the construction of highly effective and focused campaigns to unlock potential sales. It is currently embarking on the utilisation of the Industrial Building System (IBS) which is a sustainable alternative that minimises construction time and cost; simultaneously reducing the use of timber and diverting a substantial amount of timber waste from landfills. 25

Whimsical Garden at Seri Puteri Hills, Bandar Puteri Puchong The key themes that shape demand for space are rising customer expectations, the integration of work and leisure time and the transforming impact of technology. This is where the Group sees the need to intensify its focus on where its expertise can enhance value, attracting a broader range of customers. A strong record of take up rates for the year is solid evidence that the Group s properties are delivering what the customers want. In a rapidly changing world, sustainable properties are becoming increasingly sought after and continue to create value as they are both resilient and well positioned to respond to the highly dynamic nature of evolving customer expectations. In view of the current challenging market with intense competition from other developments offering similar products, the Group acknowledges that there is a necessity to mitigate the risk of unsold inventory by designing attractive packages with low entry cost for instance the IOI Group Buy campaign, Buy Now, Pay Later campaign and implementing introducer fees whereby these initiatives have been well-received by the customers. The Group will continue with its strong advocacy for product quality and customer service excellence as a brand differentiator for the IOIPG brand to stand out among the crowd. We will also be embarking on a branding campaign that aims to reinforce brand affinity amongst existing customers and to realise potential by extending our reach to the younger customer segment. Meanwhile in the Northern Region, the Group s Penang development of Cypress Villa comprising 48 units of semi-detached and 3 units bungalow was completed and handed over to purchasers in FY.

Meanwhile, at Taman Lagenda Putra, Kulai; the Group handed over double storey semi-d, JADEN, in FY. International On the international front, the development projects in Singapore and Xiamen, People s Republic of China ( PRC ) contributed positively to the Group s results. In Singapore, Trilinq obtained the Temporary Occupational Permit during the financial year and the development project generated a total sales value of approximately SGD411 million with 307 units sold. IOI Palm City in Xiamen, PRC, achieved robust sales of approximately RMB594 million for the current financial year. Significant contribution was derived from the sales of super highrise condominiums. Apart from the above, the Group mitigates the risk of cyclical fluctuation of building and material cost through continual sourcing of alternative sustainable building materials, increasing supplier base, direct purchase from local manufacturers and incorporating sustainable designs that consider reduction in construction costs. 26

The property market has seen its fair share of hurdles, with home buyers facing affordability issues, banks tightening loan approvals, a high percentage of loan rejection rates due to high household debt, a post-effect of the GST and the depreciation of the ringgit alongside the strengthening of the US dollar. However, Malaysia s strong GDP growth in 1H and improved oil prices helped to ease the downward trend and strengthened the disposable income of the average Malaysian household. Looking at the young demographics and an expanding middleincome category, the Group is confident that there will be continual demand for properties, particularly those designed for multigenerational living amidst the rejuvenating and relaxing elements of nature. Sky Condominium in Bandar Puchong Jaya, Seri Puteri Hills TownVilla and Condo in Bandar Puteri Puchong; as well as Conezion and Par 3 in IOI Resort City showcase developments that are able to appeal to both the multi-generational market segment and the young customer segment in terms of chic architectural design, practical layout as well as facilities and amenities that define contemporary and trendy lifestyles. Aside from the practicality in layout and architectural aesthetics, a foremost concern on a property buyer s mind is safety and security which the Group continually addresses in its planning and design of its properties. Its premium urban lifestyle living spaces are complemented by a multi-tier security system of perimeter fencing, card access and security screening at guarded entrance, CCTV surveillance, card-access to restricted residents-only areas, digital internal security features within each property unit. As both work and leisure become increasingly connected, properties that are surrounded by lush greenery complete with facilities and amenities that allow for peace of mind, healthy lifestyle and the presence of retail and leisure offerings within easy reach; are highly sought after. 16 Sierra and Bandar Puteri Puchong developments are designed and developed on the concept of green living in buildings planned with sustainability in mind; amidst abundant greenery and surrounded by the elements of nature. In a resort city development such as IOI Resort City, customers are able to enjoy easy accessibility to convenience and to contemporary urban lifestyles comprising fun entertainment, a multitude of dining choices, shopping, facilities and amenities, amongst many other lifestyle options desired by young professionals and families. Meanwhile, the Group s business plans will include planning of sustainable townships within the Klang Valley with developments that focuses on TOD and affordability to meet the urban lifestyle expectations of the young market segment. In Puchong Jaya, the Group will focus on rejuvenation projects, TOD and collaborate with the Local Council on the new initiative of Low Carbon City developments. For its 16 Sierra development with the MRT2 within its vicinity, the Group will continue to focus on TOD and provide a sustainable healthy lifestyle with green living features of bicycle paths and walkways to complement the signature thematic gardens of 16 Sierra. Mid-range and affordably-priced properties will take centre-stage in Bandar Puteri Bangi and Warisan Puteri at Sepang which are located in established growth corridors and are well-connected via highways. 28

31 ANNUAL REPORT MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS GROUP BUSINESS REVIEW PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT Seri Puteri Hills Townvilla In Johor, the property market has remained sluggish in the past year and is expected to continue its flattish trend this year. With an increasing supply of apartments with many projects due to be completed and handed over this year, challenges are expected in the secondary and rental market. Commercial properties, shops and industrial developments are expected to face similar challenging situations. Nevertheless, the market is likely to recover within the next two years. For the medium term to long term, the Group will continue to develop products that are able match the dynamic market demand in terms of price, design, quality and lifestyle features whilst remaining sensitive to market changes and focusing on delivering excellent service; as well as creating value for customers. Going forward, the Group will focus on affordability, with landed properties within gated and guarded communities and apartments priced below RM600,000. Bank Negara Malaysia recently reported that the overall loan approval rate for the purchase of properties remained high and this bodes well for the property industry providing assurance that the demand for properties in Malaysia remains positive going forward. With the Group s sizeable land bank in strategic locations both in Malaysia and overseas, coupled with strong track record of delivery, IOIPG is well-positioned to adapt to market demand. The Group continues to look forward with cautious optimism whilst maintaining sensitivity and flexibility to respond to market changes. In the current business landscape, the Group strongly advocates hands-on management, applying knowledge of the business, being sensitive to market changes and focused on delivering value to home buyers. The Group s results show that its space offerings continue to be attractive to home owners, entrepreneurs and investors alike. This reflects the continuing effective execution of the Group s strategy, providing space that responds to changing lifestyles and exceeding the expectations of its customers. The Group also expects the property market to scale up to firmer ground, barring any surprises on the international and domestic front. 29

32 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ( A) MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS GROUP BUSINESS REVIEW PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT Pavillion Service Apartments, Bandar Puteri Puchong PRC Property cooling measures may continue to impact the market in the short term but property values is expected to continue to hold in first and second tier cities in the longer term. The Group s existing projects and future development land bank are situated in Xiamen, which is an attractive economic hub given that it has an established transportation network that connects to other major cities and destinations in the PRC and abroad. The Group remains optimistic on the prospects of its property developments in the PRC as the above mentioned will enhance the visibility of our projects and attract prospective buyers. IOI Palm City s remaining residential components of high rise residences and town villas are expected to be launched in the next financial year. Singapore Market sentiments have improved in the second quarter of as evidenced by increase of sales and lower inventory of unsold units following the relaxation of certain property cooling measures, for example, the easing of the sellers stamp duty in the first quarter of. The residential property market outlook is anticipated to be optimistic as increase in sales is expected to continue its momentum attributable to improving market sentiments and pent up demand from buyers. As such, the Group remains optimistic that property projects in established locations with amenities are anticipated to continue to draw prospective buyers. Meanwhile, construction on the newly acquired Xiang An land in Xiamen, PRC is expected to commence in the fourth quarter of. The mixed development consists of condominiums, town villas and commercial units within the new Xiang An central business district in Xiamen which is proposed to be a new integrated eco-city. Future developments that will complement the project include schools, a hospital and a new international airport. The land is ideally located with easy connectivity to the Xiamen Gaoqi International airport, main island of Xiamen and other commercial hubs via an undersea tunnel and will be linked to upcoming subway lines. During the financial year under review, the Group s Trilinq project in Singapore obtained its temporary occupation permit in April and continued to record a favourable take-up rate with sales of 307 units at sales value of RM1,310 million for FY. 30

34 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ( A) MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS GROUP BUSINESS REVIEW PROPERTY INVESTMENT Our property investment arm is a strategic part of the Group through which we aim to create added value for our customers, generate better returns to our shareholders and provide a steady stream of revenue and profits to the Group in the long term. We have achieved good returns and a stable and recurring income through our prime property investment interests which comprise a range of property assets of shopping malls, commercial/ retail space and office space. Value-added amenities complete our integrated township development and create contemporary urban lifestyles. As at 30 June, our existing property investment portfolio has an approximate total of 5.6 million sq ft of lettable space, of which about 2.6 million sq ft is retail space and another 2.5 million sq ft as office space with the balance comprised of residential properties. Puchong Financial Corporate Centre IOIPG s major investment properties are:- (a) IOI City Mall in IOI Resort City, Putrajaya with 380 retail shop lots with a total net lettable area ( NLA ) of about 1.5 million sq ft; (b) IOI Mall Puchong owns more than 353 retail shop lots with a total NLA of approximately 856,000 sq ft; (c) Four blocks of 12-storey to 21-storey purposebuilt office buildings in Puchong Financial Corporate Centre ( PFCC ) with a total NLA of approximately 886,000 sq ft; (d) IOI Mall Kulai in Johor with more than 258 retail shop lots with a total NLA of approximately 242,000 sq ft; (e) One IOI Square and Two IOI Square located in IOI Resort City, Putrajaya with a total of two blocks of 12-storey purpose built office towers with approximately 441, 000 sq ft of total NLA; (f) IOI City Tower 1 and IOI City Tower 2 situated in IOI Resort City, Putrajaya comprising two 31-storey office towers with approximately 1 million sq ft of NLA; and (g) IOI Boulevard in Puchong comprising 68 units of office and retail lots with a total NLA of approximately 229,000 sq ft. OPERATIONS REVIEW The Group posted total revenue of RM302.1million, representing an improvement of RM30.2 million or 11% when compared with the previous financial year. The key revenue driver was from the retail sector whereby it accounts for 82% of the Group s total revenue in property investment segment. It recorded revenue and operating profit of RM248.6 million and RM97.5 million respectively. The improved revenue performance was mainly due to higher occupancy and rental rates from both retail and office segments. The overall market in FY has been challenging financially and economically for the property investment sector as well as all the segments in the industry - Office, Hotel and Retail. However, in view of the various properties strategic location in growth corridors, good connectivity, modern and appealing designs and backed by a strong management and marketing team, the Group s investment properties were able to weather through 2016 fairly well. 32

35 ANNUAL REPORT MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS GROUP BUSINESS REVIEW PROPERTY INVESTMENT Malaysia Retail Retail malls in the Klang Valley maintained strong occupancy despite market news of an increasingly competitive retail mall environment, largely due to an oversupply of retail space, along with a weakened consumer market arising from GST implementation and a weaker oil price as compared to the period when crude oil hovered at around USD100 per barrel. Capitalising on the strong infrastructure connectivity over a large regional catchment (for instance IOI City Mall) plus a matured township (for example IOI Mall Puchong), both the Group s Klang Valley malls have fared well. In the year under review, the Group s flagship IOI City Mall was awarded the coveted FIABCI-Malaysia Property Award 2016 for the Retail Category. The winner of this award is selected based on the development s overall concept, design and architecture, environmental impact, safety and maintenance, and its benefits to the community, amongst others. IOI City Mall, as one of the stateof-the-art architectural landmarks in IOI Resort City and the largest regional mall in southern Klang Valley with a 1.5 million sq ft of net lettable area achieved an occupancy of 98%. Complemented by world class hotel brands and an award-winning premier golf course, IOI City Mall not only caters to the local market segment but enjoys patronage from the entire Southern Region of Kuala Lumpur, Selangor and Negeri Sembilan. Meanwhile, IOI Mall Puchong has continued to maintain its high occupancy of over 95% and its customer footfall has benefitted from the new ( LRT ) stations connecting Puchong to multiple high growth areas which commenced operations in the year under review. While the Group s malls located in the Klang Valley have almost 100% occupancy, it must ensure that the malls maintain their appeal with fresh and fun ways to attract existing and new customers. The shopping experience must be maintained at a high-level with a popular and trendy tenant-mix that reflects dynamic and changing customer profiles and expectations. The Group will continue its high level performance in the implementation of its marketing proposals aimed at filling the existing occupancy gaps. We are improving our tenant mix with an increase in F&B offerings to enhance the shopping experience of its customers with new food attractions such as the recently completed Food Street in IOI Puchong Mall with a variety of choices from Swensen to Go Noodles and many more. The ground floor has been repositioned as a lifestyle, fashion-oriented shopping level with trendy and renown brands such as Cotton On and Charles & Keith amongst others that appeal to the young demographics of today s shoppers. Transforming the tenant mix to provide a modern trendy shopping experience is a move in the IOI City Mall, IOI Resort City right direction in order to cater to shopping preferences of the young population which makes up a high percentage of urban shoppers. The Group remains perceptive to changing customer needs and experiences, and hence continually adapts accordingly to accommodate appropriate changes to enrich the customer shopping experience. Looking forward, the Group plans to embark on renovation and expansion of its pioneer mall namely IOI Mall Puchong for a fresh new mall experience and contemporary lifestyle ambience for its customers. Thereafter, a rebranding of the mall will be in the pipeline to reflect its contemporary lifestyle brand that continues to serve its surrounding vibrant neighbourhoods in the Puchong vicinity. Meanwhile, expansion works of IOI City Mall has been planned with another 1 million sq ft poised to wow its customers once it is completed. The additional lettable area will leverage on the high growth corridor of the Southern Klang Valley region and the increased footfall it will generate for the mall. Offices Although the overall office market in Klang Valley remains to be in oversupply, the Group s effective marketing and pricing strategies coupled with a strong property management and leasing team was able to attract appropriate tenants to Puchong and Putrajaya where most of its offices are located, with some offices enjoying more than 90% occupancy. The enhanced network of connectivity and accessibility has benefitted these two growth areas. The Group will continue to actively engage various marketing channels to implement aggressive campaigns and offer competitive rental rates that reach out to proposed, existing and new tenants; and has received generally positive feedback. PFCC with its high connectivity and accessibility as a result of its location within close proximity to the ( LRT ) system and the Group s hotel, Four Points by Sheraton Puchong has been able to attract Multinational Corporations ( MNCs ), effectively increasing its overall occupancy. With a well-planned integrated resort city development that has since become a signature landmark in the southern growth corridor of the Klang Valley, interest in office space within IOI Resort City is scaling upwards. Apart from the Group s new corporate office which will be located at IOI City Tower 2 in IOI Resort City, the office tower will welcome too its new tenant Hewlett-Packard with a take-up office area of approximately 80,000 sq ft spanning across 5 levels; while the entire tower of Two IOI Square which is also located in IOI Resort City will be occupied by a foreign-based enterprise. 33

36 IOI PROPERTIES GROUP BERHAD ( A) MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS GROUP BUSINESS REVIEW PROPERTY INVESTMENT Despite the challenging market situation for office leasing, the Group will persevere to ensure that its portfolio of investment properties is well-occupied at the best competitive rates to generate a steady stream of recurring revenue for the Group and to create value for its stakeholders. The Group has identified some key risks that may be challenging for its Leisure & Hospitality business segment. These are market risks which include a highly competitive corporate office market, oversupply of retail space, and a slowdown of consumer spending. The Group s short to long-term strategies are designed to mitigate these risks such as aggressive marketing focusing on targeted market segments and effective pricing strategies; and ensuring operational excellence with high standards of property management and facility management of our property investment assets. In order to mitigate the risks of oversupply retail space and slow consumer spending, the Group s mitigation plan includes studying and understanding market trends and its competition and enhancing tenant mix to offer new unique shopping experiences for its customers. The Group will continue to collaborate with tenants to enhance value proposition of a retail property or mall as a destination of choice; and creating a conducive environment to evoke a lifestyle ambience that positively influences consumer behaviour.

OUTLOOK & PROSPECTS Malaysia Despite the growing prominence of internet retailing and the challenges faced with an oversupply of malls, the Group believes that the average Malaysian consumer will continue to patronise large, well-managed malls. Hence, plans for proposed expansions to improve long-term value for the properties and its stakeholders are in the right direction. Malls and their respective expansions will continue to serve their purpose so long as they are strategically located and well-connected to population growth corridors where families can enjoy all the conveniences that come with a mall in the vicinity. The Group will also further tap on the synergies that come from the increased integration of commercial developments within the existing IOI developments as the Hotels, Offices and Shopping Malls cross-sell and leverage on each other s businesses. While the outlook for the office market remains challenging as the take-up rates are relatively slow, the Group will maintain its competitiveness in attracting and retaining more tenants by ensuring its investment assets are well-managed, facilities wellmaintained and service levels exceed expectations. Singapore An increase in the supply of premium and Grade A office space in the Central Business District ( CBD ) is expected by end of.
