Our contract sales increased at CAGR of 8.4% in USD terms, and 15.2% in RM terms, from 2011 to 2015.
The Group’s contract sales decreased by 4.4% in USD terms, but increased by 14.1% in RM terms with growth recorded for all 5 countries that the
Group is operating. The increase in RM terms was primarily due to the increase in sales from Singapore, and the newly launched Nirvana Center
Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, Nirvana Memorial Park in Thailand and sales office in Hong Kong, China. Lower contract sales in USD terms was due to
the strengthening of USD against RM during 2015.

Revenue increased at CAGR of 6.2% in USD terms and 12.9% in RM terms from 2011 to 2015.
Revenue for 2015 rose by 7.4% despite 14.1% growth in contract sales primarily due to contract sales from Nirvana Center Kuala Lumpur and
substantial amount of contract sales from Singapore which have not been recognised as revenue in 2015.
Lower revenue in USD terms was mainly due to the strengthening of USD against RM.

Lower contract sales and ASP in USD terms YoY was primarily due to the strengthening of USD against RM. However, in RM terms:
(i) Contract sales increased by 10.6% YoY, primarily contributed by (1) higher sales from (a) Bukit Mertajam and Kulai in Malaysia, and (b)
Indonesia, and (2) the newly launched (a) Nirvana Memorial Park in Thailand, and (b) sales office in Hong Kong, China.
(ii) ASP per sq.m increased by 1.8% YoY largely due to increase in ASP from Semenyih in Malaysia and Indonesia, but partly offset by
lower ASP in Thailand during the initial product launch before the site is ready for interment. Excluding Thailand, ASP per sq.m would
have grown by 3.6% YoY.

by 6.0% YoY primarily due to a higher sales contribution from the Group’s columbarium in Singapore which has a higher ASP.

• Gross profit margin increased by 5.2 percentage points from 70.5% for 2014 to 75.7% for 2015 was primarily
due to :
(i) higher margin following the acquisition of tomb construction and design business in March 2015
(ii) economies of scale achieved from higher land utilization, and
(iii) better cost management for the funeral services segment.
• Lower gross profit YoY in USD terms was primarily due to the strengthening of USD against RM.

The selling and distribution expenses to revenue increased by 0.7 percentage point from 22.8% for 2014 to 23.5%
for 2015. The increase in promotion expenses to revenue is primarily due to certain expenses in connection with the
newly-launched cemeteries in Thailand and Nirvana Center Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia which cannot be deferred in
proportion to contract sales not recognized as revenue during the year.

ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES BREAKDOWN

Administrative expenses reduced by USD1.6 million, or 5.4%, from USD30.4 million for 2014 to USD28.8 million for
2015, primarily due to one-off share-based payment expenses of USD3.3 million in relation to pre-Listing employees
share rights scheme, which were fully vested in 2014. The increase in staff cost in 2015 was mainly due to the
integration of work force from the newly acquired tomb design and construction business in March 2015.

improved gross profit margin, (ii) lower effective income tax rate2, and (iii) lower non-controlling interest in
Singapore pursuant to the take-over of the remaining shareholding in September 2014.
• Lower growth in Adjusted Profit in USD terms was mainly due to the strengthening of USD against RM.

In 2015, higher net cash used in
operating activities was primarily
attributable to payment for land
acquisitions and premium in relation to
increase in built-up capacity in
Singapore totalling USD28.5 million.
As at December 31, 2015, excluding
the restricted cash amount of USD5.6
million held under the pre-need funeral
service contract and maintenance
service contract’s trust account, the
Group had total fixed deposits, bank
balances and cash, and financial
instruments classified under financial
assets through P&L of USD235.0
million and a bank borrowing of
USD46.0 million.
Net cash decreased from 2014 to
2015 primarily due to the payment for
land acquisition and premium in
relation to increase in built-up
capacity in Singapore.

The increase was primarily due to an increasing number
of clients electing for longer installment payment periods.
To manage the increasing trade receivables, the
Company has further incentivized sales agents to
promote shorter installment periods to customers.
As a result of installment payment, revenue is discounted
at an effective interest rate ranging 6.8% to 13.5% (2014:
8.5%) per annum.
The increase was in line with the increase in trade
receivables turnover period as payment to certain land
owners of cemeteries in Malaysia were made after the
Group collected payments from customers.
