2023 UEM Edgenta Annual Report

Section 8 UEM Edgenta Berhad FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 368 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 41. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES (CONTD.) (d) Interest rate risk (contd.) The Group’s interest rate risk arises primarily from interest-bearing borrowings. Borrowings at floating rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Borrowings obtained at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group’s policy is to manage interest cost using a mix of fixed and floating rate debts. Sensitivity analysis for interest rate risk A sensitivity analysis had been performed to determine the sensitivity of the Group’s profit net of tax to a reasonably possible change in the interest rate at the reporting date. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular foreign currency rate, remain constant. Based on the analysis, there is no material impact to the Group’s profit net of tax. The following tables set out the carrying amounts, the weighted average effective interest rates (“WAEIR”) as at the reporting date and the remaining maturities of the Group’s and of the Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to interest rate risk: At 31 December 2023 Note WAEIR % Within 1 year RM’000 1-2 years RM’000 2-5 years RM’000 > 5 years RM’000 Total RM’000 Group Fixed rate Deposits with licensed banks and other financial institutions 27 2.22 194,100 - - - 194,100 IMTNs 35 4.25 - - (250,000) - (250,000) Lease liabilities 15 2.91 (13,483) (12,878) (4,608) (2,054) (33,023) Floating rate Revolving credit 35 3.44 (137,803) - - - (137,803) Term loans 35 4.92 (37,716) (51,997) (12,347) - (102,060) Company Fixed rate Deposits with licensed banks and other financial institutions 27 2.95 1,500 - - - 1,500 IMTNs 35 4.25 - - (250,000) - (250,000) Lease liabilities 15 2.61 (9,582) (9,838) (794) - (20,214) Floating rate Revolving credit 35 4.06 (85,000) - - - (85,000)
