Tropicana stays on track with its repayment plan by redeeming Tranche 5 of Perpetual Sukuk Musharakah.

● Tropicana continues to optimise its financial management while pursuing strategic growth initiatives to propel the Group forward in the coming year.

● Tropicana’s unbilled sales remain robust at RM2.0 billion, underpinning the Group’s sustainable earnings outlook.

Petaling Jaya (15 April 2026) – Tropicana Corporation Berhad (“Tropicana” or the “Group”) announced the redemption of RM133.2 million under its RM1.5 billion Islamic Medium-Term Notes (“IMTN”) 2020 Sukuk Wakalah Programme, bringing total cumulative payments under the programme to RM1.25 billion. This redemption forms part of several initiatives to reduce overall borrowings and strengthen the Group’s balance sheet.

Last month the Group announced the full redemption of RM89.43 million, its outstanding Tranche 1 perpetual sukuk. In October 2025, the Group also announced the fulfilment of a RM139 million payment obligation, representing the Tranche 4 payment under IMTN 2020 Sukuk Wakalah Programme. Subsequently, in November 2025, Tropicana successfully issued RM300 million in IMTN 2024 Sukuk Wakalah Programme—upsized from an initial RM200 million following strong investor demand. The issuance was oversubscribed, with a significant portion taken up by government-linked institutional investors. These milestones highlight Tropicana’s prudent financial management and its commitment to honouring obligations to investors.

Unbilled sales remain strong at RM2.0 billion. This performance is further supported by the Group’s ongoing and upcoming signature developments across Malaysia, with a combined estimated Gross Development Value (“GDV”) exceeding RM7.5 billion.

For the financial year ended 31 December 2025, the Group reported total revenue of RM1.5 billion in February 2026, marking an increase of RM83.9 million or 6.0% compared to the previous year. The growth was primarily driven by higher progress billings across key projects in the Klang Valley, as well as the Southern and Northern regions.

Looking ahead, Tropicana remains focused on sustaining its growth trajectory through stronger sales performance, strategic monetisation of landbanks and investment properties, and ongoing financial optimisation. Reflecting this positive momentum, MARC Ratings upgraded its outlook on the Group to positive from stable, while affirming its A rating. The revision reflects improvements in Tropicana’s balance sheet, supported by successful deleveraging initiatives and asset disposals aimed at reducing borrowings.

“The redemption of the Tranche 5 IMTN reflects the steady progress we are making in strengthening Tropicana as an organisation and reinforces our commitment to meeting our obligations. We will continue transforming Tropicana into a future-ready group focused on sustainable growth. Our strategy prioritises strengthening our core property segment through an asset-light model, leveraging our development expertise, distinctive DNA, and strong ESG commitments. We extend our sincere appreciation to our business partners for their continued support and trust in the Group,” said the management.
