For the quarter, administrative expenses rose 10% to $373.29 million (2025: $340.44 million). The Expected Credit Loss Adjustment reflected a gain of $32.56 million (2025: gain of $8.90 million), while the Share of Results of Investment in Associate was a loss of $7.67 million (2025: loss of $2.11 million).
