The board of directors attributes the anticipated substantial rise in the attributable loss for the 2025 fiscal year primarily to the following factors: (i) a decrease in revenue and gross profit from the sale of particle boards; (ii) an increase in impairment provisions for trade receivables; and (iii) the recognition of impairment losses on certain property, plant, and equipment items.
