Prosus is rapidly transforming into an operating technology company, focused on lifestyle e-commerce, and powered by innovation and collaboration. This past year, we announced two significant deals to strengthen our regional ecosystems. We completed the acquisition of Despegar in May 2025 and are already integrating its products into iFood’s Clube membership. We are making good progress with the purchase of Just Eat Takeaway.com, which will create a new AI-powered tech champion in Europe. I believe that truly great companies are shaped by their culture. Through ‘The Prosus Way’, we’ve implemented a cultural model that empowers our teams to deliver exceptional customer experiences through discipline, innovation and adopting an AI-first mindset. In the face of unprecedented technological disruption, we are now more connected and innovative than ever before. I’m confident that our enhanced culture and ecosystem approach, powered by Prosus, will fuel our journey to create the next US$100 billion in value.

Prosus has delivered a strong financial performance over the past year, with topline growth in our operating businesses at double the rate of our peers. E-commerce profitability has improved meaningfully from US$38m in FY24 to aEBIT of US$443 million, ahead of our guidance. We expect this momentum to continue and to add at least the same level of incremental aEBIT in FY26. FY2025 marks the first year that Prosus is free cash flow positive, excluding the Tencent dividend, with a free cash flow improvement of US$513 million. As our financial position strengthens, we’re able to share more with our shareholders and have proposed a 100% increase in our dividend to €0.20. Our disciplined capital allocation and strong balance sheet positions us well to execute on our ecosystem strategy.
