Chairman’s Note
I am pleased to report that 2025 has
been a year of strong performance
and meaningful progress for your
Company.
Building on the resilience demonstrat-
ed in prior years, IDH has delivered
robust growth, strengthened its region-
al platform, and enhanced the quality
and breadth of its service offering, all
while navigating a complex global and
regional environment.
Sustained Growth and
Expanding Profitability
During the year, IDH recorded reve-
nues of EGP 7.9 billion, representing
a 37% year-on-year increase. This
performance was driven by an 11%
rise in test volumes and a 24% increase
in average revenue per test, reflecting
both strategic pricing actions and a
richer diagnostic mix.
Importantly, growth was not only top-
line in nature. EBITDA increased 61%
year-on-year to EGP 2.7 billion, with
margins expanding to 34.9%, under-
scoring the strength of the Groups
underlying operating momentum,
while net profit increased 29% to EGP
1.3 billion with a 17% margin.
These results reflect not only the
scalability of our model, but also the
strength, depth, and experience of our
management team, whose disciplined
execution and strategic clarity con-
tinue to underpin the Company’s
success.
Egypt remains the cornerstone of our
platform and has continued to deliver
strong and resilient operational perfor-
mance over recent years.
Encouragingly, we saw signs of
improving macroeconomic stability
throughout 2025, with moderating
inflation and greater foreign exchange
availability supporting a more con-
structive business environment.
However, it is important to acknowl-
edge that the weakness and volatility
of the Egyptian pound has, in recent
years, represented the principal
challenge, and in many respects the
Achilles’ heel of an otherwise strong
performance story.
Currency depreciation has impacted
reported results and investor senti-
ment, despite the underlying robust-
ness of the business.
We are cautiously optimistic that
increasing economic stability in Egypt,
particularly in relation to the Egyptian
pound, will provide a more supportive
backdrop going forward, although re-
cent geopolitical developments — in-
cluding the escalation of the U.S.-Israel
conflict with Iran in early 2026 — may
introduce renewed pressure on region-
al markets and external balances.
Strategic Progress and
Regional Expansion
During the year, we continued to
make important strategic progress
across our footprint.
In Egypt, we strengthened our leader-
ship position and expanded access to
high-quality diagnostic services.
The acquisition of Cairo Ray for
Radiotherapy marks a significant
milestone, enhancing Al Borg Scan’s
capabilities and positioning the
Group more firmly in higher-value,
specialised services.
Beyond Egypt, our strategy remains
under constant review, with a clear
focus on geographic diversification.
The Middle East, and Saudi Arabia in
particular, represents a key pillar of
our future growth.
We are encouraged by the strong
momentum of Biolab KSA, where
revenues grew significantly and our
footprint continues to expand.
Nigeria also delivered encouraging
progress, with Echo-Lab achieving full
year positive EBITDA, demonstrating
the potential of this high growth mar-
ket following a period of restructuring.
A core strategic priority for the Group is
the continued evolution of our revenue
IDH has delivered robust growth, strengthened its
regional platform, and enhanced the quality and
breadth of its service offering, all while navigating
a complex global and regional environment.

mix towards higher-value, more special-
ised services.
Through investments in radiology, radi-
otherapy, and advanced diagnostics, we
are increasingly focused on driving val-
ue-added revenue streams that enhance
margins, improve patient outcomes, and
strengthen our competitive positioning.
This shift not only supports profitability
but also reinforces our long-term ambi-
tion to build a fully integrated diagnos-
tics platform across our markets.
The global operating environment dur-
ing 2025 remained uncertain, shaped
by geopolitical tensions, supply chain
disruptions, and evolving trade dynam-
ics. Against this backdrop, management
acted proactively, implementing pru-
dent inventory strategies and maintain-
ing close supplier relationships.
As a result, the Group experienced no
material disruptions and maintained
uninterrupted service delivery.
Across our markets, management con-
tinues to closely monitor evolving mac-
roeconomic conditions and regional
developments, including the escalation
of the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran in
early 2026, which may introduce height-
ened economic uncertainty across the
region, particularly in markets such as
Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
Innovation remains central to our
strategy. We continue to invest in digital
transformation to enhance operational
efficiency, improve patient experience,
and unlock greater value from our data
capabilities.
We also remain committed to respon-
sible growth, as demonstrated by our
continued progress on sustainability
and governance.
Strong oversight, a balanced Board, and
a robust risk framework remain funda-
mental to the way we operate.
The recovery in the Company’s share
price over the past six months has been
both encouraging and, in our view, long
overdue. It reflects a growing recogni-
tion of the strength of our underlying
business, the resilience of our operating
model, and the significant progress
made across our key markets.
We remain focused on delivering sus-
tainable long-term value for our share-
holders through disciplined execution,
strategic expansion, and continued
operational excellence.
The Board of Directors has declared a
dividend of $0.0085 per share for the
year ended 31 December 2025, rep-
resenting a total distribution of $4.9
million. This payout aligns with our
commitment to delivering sustainable
shareholder value while maintaining
flexibility to fund promising growth
projects. Given the current geopolitical
landscape and market volatility, the
Board remains prudent in its capital
allocation. We intend to re-evaluate as
market conditions and capital require-
ments evolve.
On behalf of the Board, I would like
to thank our management team and
employees for their continued dedica-
tion and professionalism, as well as our
shareholders for their ongoing support.
IDH enters 2026 from a position of
strength. With an experienced manage-
ment team, a clear strategic direction,
improving macroeconomic conditions,
and a renewed focus on value creation,
we are confident in our ability to deliver
sustainable growth in the years ahead.

ternational accreditations, the Group
is widely recognised for delivering
high-quality pathology, radiology and
radiotherapy services across its grow-
ing regional footprint.
IDH provides an extensive and contin-
ually expanding portfolio of over 3,000

expansion. Alongside organic growth,
IDH actively pursues selective acqui-
sitions in new markets where its brand
strength and proven operating model
are positioned to capture favourable
healthcare and consumer trends. In
2025, the Group continued to strength-
en its nascent presence in Saudi Arabia

2024, now operating three branches
in the Kingdom. In efforts to further ex-
pand its radiology offering during the
year, the Group successfully acquired
Cairo Ray for Radiotherapy, a radiology
and radiotherapy facility in East Cairo,
adding radiotherapy to its service
portfolio and positioning Al Borg Scan
to become a top-tier provider in the

Global Best
Practice
IDH maintains a broad range of internationally recognised accreditations and a robust internal audit framework, en-
suring the consistent delivery of world-class services while safeguarding the strength and reputation of its brands.
Quality Assurance
Central to this framework is the
Groups comprehensive quality
assurance programme, which moni-
tors all internal diagnostic process-
es, laboratory testing procedures,
and result analyses. The programme
upholds ISO and CAP standards
through regular equipment in-
spections, adherence to procedure
manuals, accuracy checks, and
competency assessments for staff.
It also ensures the timely renew-
al of accreditations. In addition,
the internal audit team conducts
routine evaluations in the Groups
C-labs, including process conform-
ity checks, employee competency
assessments (oral, observational,
practical, and written), and mana-
gerial audits to assess operational
and administrative efficiency.
Employee Training
To further support its quality stand-
ards, IDH operates a dedicated
training facility in Cairo with four
laboratories. In 2025, 261 thousand
training hours were delivered to
approximately 5,495 employees,
including clinical, administrative,
and managerial staff. The curric-
ulum, informed by KPIs, audit
findings, and customer feedback, is
organised into seven modules cov-
ering technical and non-technical
skills, including new hire orienta-
tion, competency-based training,
practical re-training, and intern
development.

Accreditations
IDH holds a range of internation-
ally recognised ISO accreditations
covering quality, safety, environ-
mental management, and labo-
ratory standards. Al Mokhtabar
and Al Borg are certified to ISO
9001, 45001, and 14001, following
independent audits by URS Certi-
fication, while Biolab is assessed
by the Jordanian Accreditation
System. IDH’s Mega Lab also
holds ISO 17025 accreditation for
food safety, which was renewed
in 2024 for a further four years.
The Group is currently in the
final stages of obtaining ISO
21001:2018 certification.
The CAP accreditation is award-
ed to individual laboratories and
is widely regarded as the global
benchmark for laboratory qual-
ity. IDH’s central Mega Lab in
Cairo, which commenced oper-
ations in 2015, first received the
CAP certification in October 2017
and has since been renewed on
a two-year cycle. The facility re-
placed two legacy A-labs, one of
which was also CAP accredited,
and remains the first laboratory
in Egypt to hold this prestigious
certification.
EMQN is a global leader in
quality assurance for molecular
pathology and genomics test-
ing, providing External Quality
Assessment (EQA) programmes
that evaluate the full laboratory
testing process from sample han-
dling through to final reporting.
IDH’s Mega Lab first obtained
EMQN accreditation in 2023 and
is renewed on an annual basis.
In 2022, Al-Borg Scan’s nucle-
ar medicine and ultrasound
units received the prestigious
American College of Radiology
(ACR) accreditation, making it
the first radiology provider in
Africa to achieve this distinction.
ACR accreditation is globally
recognised as a benchmark for
excellence in radiology, requiring
rigorous assessment of equip-
ment, clinical staff, and quality
assurance systems. The certifica-
tion followed a comprehensive
review process, supported by
IFC healthcare quality experts
who worked with Al-Borg Scan
to strengthen infrastructure, poli-
cies, and operational standards
to ensure full compliance with
ACR requirements.
The GAHAR accreditation is
a patient-centred framework
aligned with leading interna-
tional standards and tailored to
Egypt’s regulatory and cultural
context. Established to support
Egypt’s Vision 2030 healthcare
objectives, GAHAR has accred-
ited 13 IDH laboratories to date,
including the Mega Lab.

Chief Executive’s Review
2025 marked another important year
in IDH’s journey, as we continued to
expand access to high-quality diag-
nostics while strengthening the scale,
efficiency, and resilience of our plat-
form. Against a backdrop of improving
macroeconomic stability across several
of our core markets, the Group deliv-
ered strong operational and financial
performance, reflecting the success of
our disciplined execution, enhanced
operating leverage, and long-term strat-
egy focused on value-led growth.
During the year, IDH reported con-
solidated revenues of EGP 7.9 billion,
representing a year-on-year increase
of 37%, driven by an 11% rise in tests
performed and a 24% increase in
average revenue per test. The Group
performed 43.5 million tests during the
year and served 9.4 million patients,
with average tests per patient increasing
to 4.6, reflecting deeper engagement
and improved cross-selling across our
expanding service portfolio. Growth
was supported by continued expansion
of our branch network and a progres-
sively richer service mix, including
radiology, radiotherapy, and specialised
diagnostics. Importantly, this top-line
momentum translated into meaningful
profitability expansion. Operating profit
also recorded strong growth, increasing
by a strong 79% year-on-year to EGP 2.2
billion, reflecting improved cost control
and operating leverage across the busi-
ness. Similarly, EBITDA increased 61%
year-on-year to EGP 2.7 billion, with the
margin improving to 34.9% versus 29.7%
in the previous year, while net profit after
tax rose 29% year-on-year to EGP 1.3
billion. When adjusting for non-recur-
ring items and foreign exchange effects,
adjusted net profit increased 79%, with
the associated margin expanding to
16.1%, highlighting the strength of our
underlying operating performance and
the structural improvements achieved
across our cost base
These results demonstrate the scalabil-
ity of our business model and our ability
to generate sustainable growth while
enhancing profitability, even as we
continue investing in new markets and
specialised capabilities.
Growth was supported by continued expansion
of our branch network and a progressively richer
service mix, including radiology, radiotherapy, and

Building healthcare
access in structurally
attractive markets
At the heart of IDH’s strategy is a clear
conviction: the most compelling long-
term healthcare opportunities lie in
markets where demand is structurally
expanding and access to high-qual-
ity services still has room to deepen.
Across our footprint, rising prevalence
of chronic and lifestyle-related diseas-
es and expanding insurance coverage
continue to underpin sustained de-
mand for diagnostic services. Diag-
nostics increasingly sit at the centre of
modern care pathways, acting as both
a gatekeeper and an enabler of treat-
ment decisions, which structurally
supports utilisation growth over time.
Egypt remains central to this thesis.
The diagnostics market is split be-
tween public and private providers,
with the private segment still concen-
trated in major urban centres, leaving
significant potential in underserved
regions. Ongoing expansion of corpo-
rate health coverage and the rollout of
mandatory health insurance further
reinforce long-term growth pros-
pects for private diagnostics. These
structural tailwinds are supported by
favourable demographics, including
a large and growing population and
an increasing proportion of older citi-
zens, which together continue to drive
healthcare utilisation and more fre-
quent diagnostic testing. Within this
landscape, IDH maintains a leading
position, supported by its nationwide
footprint, strong brand recognition,
international accreditations, and
long-standing market presence, all of
which provide competitive insulation
and procurement advantages at scale.
During 2025, the broader macroe-
conomic environment across parts
of our footprint became more stable
following a period of volatility in prior
years. In Egypt, structural reforms,
improved foreign exchange availabili-
ty, moderating inflation, and renewed
investor confidence contributed to
a more predictable operating envi-
ronment. In Jordan, a stable, insur-
ance-led healthcare system continued
to support consistent demand. In Ni-
geria, ongoing economic reforms and
currency stabilisation efforts helped
foster a gradual recovery in patient
activity, while in Saudi Arabia, contin-
ued progress under Vision 2030 and
growing private-sector participation
in healthcare reinforced long-term
demand for high-quality diagnostics
infrastructure.
Together, these structural and
macroeconomic trends provide a
supportive backdrop for IDHs con-
tinued expansion and position the
Group to capture sustainable growth
across its markets.

Egypt: scale leadership, mix
enhancement, and platform
expansion
Egypt delivered another year of excep-
tional performance, with revenues
increasing 41% to EGP 6.6 billion,
supported by 10% growth in tests
performed and a 28% increase in
revenue per test. Growth was broad-
based across both contract and walk-
in segments, with contract revenues
reaching EGP 4.7 billion and walk-in
revenues approaching EGP 1.9 billion.
The strength of both channels reflects
the balance in our model between
institutional relationships and direct
patient engagement.
We continued to grow our footprint
meaningfully, inaugurating 137 new
branches during the year and end-
ing 2025 with 724 branches in Egypt.
This expansion reinforces our ability
to reach patients beyond major city
centres, further strengthening our
competitive position and referral net-
work density.
Alongside expansion, we continued to
enhance the value of our service mix.
Radiology and radiotherapy remain
central to our long-term platform
thesis, both as growth drivers and as
natural extensions of the role diag-
nostics plays in care pathways. During
2025, the acquisition of Cairo Ray for
Radiotherapy represented a strategic
step forward in broadening our capa-
bilities and advancing our vision of a
more integrated diagnostics platform.
Radiology and radiotherapy revenues
reached EGP 310 million during the
year, reflecting the growing impor-
tance of higher-value specialised
services within our portfolio.
Our house-call service remained
a core pillar of our offering, ac-
counting for approximately 20% of
Egypt’s revenues, significantly above
pre-pandemic levels. This channel
reflects shifting patient preferences
toward convenience and accessibil-
ity while reinforcing IDH’s ability
to deliver high-quality care beyond
the clinic setting. In parallel, Wayak
continued to expand, generating EGP
34 million in revenues and fulfilling
approximately 260 thousand orders,
contributing to our broader digital
ecosystem and strengthening patient
engagement across both physical and
digital touchpoints.
Jordan: stability, volume-
led strategy, and quality
advantage
Jordan remains a stable, insur-
ance-led healthcare market where
regulated pricing creates a clear
imperative: operators win through
service quality and efficiency. Biolab
is well positioned in this environ-
ment, supported by its internationally
accredited platform, long-standing re-
lationships with healthcare providers,
and strong brand equity in Amman
and surrounding areas.
In 2025, Biolab delivered 7% revenue
growth in local currency to JOD 15.0
million, supported by 21% growth in
tests performed and a 4% increase in
patients served. In Egyptian pound
terms, revenues reached EGP 1.0 bil-
lion. The strong volume performance,
alongside a deliberate pricing strategy
aimed at defending market share, re-
flects the effectiveness of promotional,
digital outreach, and loyalty initiatives
in supporting patient acquisition and
retention. EBITDA remained stable in
margin terms at 27.8%, underscoring
disciplined cost management in a reg-
ulated pricing environment.
During 2025, the acquisition of Cairo Ray for
Radiotherapy represented a strategic step forward
in broadening our capabilities and advancing our
vision of a more integrated diagnostics platform.

Nigeria: a high-growth frontier
and a turnaround milestone
Nigeria remains one of the most attractive
long-term healthcare markets in Africa:
a large and youthful population, rising
chronic disease burden, and a fragment-
ed diagnostics landscape that remains
underpenetrated. It is a market where
scale and quality standards can unlock
meaningful share gains over time.
2025 marked an operational milestone
for IDH in Nigeria, where Echo-Lab
delivered a full year of positive EBIT-
DA following its turnaround. Revenue
increased to NGN 3.7 billion (EGP 121
million), supported by pricing actions
aligned with local inflation and a 6%
increase in volumes. EBITDA reached
NGN 193 million, compared with an
EBITDA loss of NGN 846 million in
the prior year, reflecting improved cost
control, better asset utilisation, and dis-
ciplined management of working capital.
While macro conditions remain com-
plex, our focus in Nigeria is clear: con-
tinue modernising the network, expand
the service portfolio, and build a scalable
platform that can consolidate demand
away from informal providers toward
higher-quality diagnostic standards.
Saudi Arabia: early scale-up
with a long runway ahead
Saudi Arabia continues to be a compel-
ling market, underpinned by lifestyle
shifts and a healthcare transformation
agenda accelerating private-sector
participation. The diagnostics sector
remains fragmented, and the long-
term runway for professionally run
providers is significant.
In 2025, Biolab KSA generated SAR 5.0
million in revenues, up 252% year-on-
year, equivalent to EGP 65 million. The
network expanded to three branches,
supporting sharp growth in patient
and test volumes. While the business
remains in its investment and ramp-
up phase, EBITDA losses narrowed
meaningfully year-on-year, reflecting
improved utilisation of fixed costs
and early operating leverage. Progress
during the year reinforces our confi-
dence in the market’s potential and
in our ability to scale in a disciplined,
value-accretive manner.
Sudan: cautious engagement,
safety-first, and long-term
optionality
Sudan continued to face severe disrup-
tion from ongoing conflict, constrain-
ing normal operations and access
to care. IDH maintained a cautious
presence, with one branch partially
operational and the remaining net-
work closed indefinitely pending stabi-
lisation. 2025 revenues were SDG 109
million (EGP 2.3 million). Our posture
remains safety-first — protecting our
people and patients — while main-
taining the optionality to participate in
recovery when conditions allow.

Investing in scale, efficiency,
and long-term value
Beyond geographic expansion, we
continued to strengthen the foun-
dations of our platform. During the
year, our branch network grew to 767
branches across our markets. This
expansion enabled us to serve 9.4
million patients and perform 43.5
million tests, while increasing aver-
age tests per patient to 4.6, reflecting
deeper patient relationships and
improved monetisation.
At the same time, we advanced our
digitalisation agenda and imple-
mented targeted operational im-
provements to enhance efficiency
and strengthen our cost base. Cost
of goods sold declined to 57.3% of
revenue from 61.9% in the prior year,
driven by procurement optimisation
and scale efficiencies. Raw materials
as a percentage of revenue declined
to 19.3%, while direct wages remained
well controlled at 18.4% of revenue.
SG&A expenses decreased to 15.0% of
revenue from 16.9%, despite contin-
ued investment in growth initiatives,
reflecting strong operating leverage
and the tangible impact of digitalisa-
tion initiatives.
Collectively, these developments rein-
force the strength of IDH’s operating
model, which combines scale, oper-
ational efficiency, service excellence,
and disciplined capital allocation to
deliver sustainable, long-term growth.
Responsible operations and
sustainable value creation
As a leading diagnostics platform
operating across multiple jurisdic-
tions, we recognise that long-term
value creation must be anchored in
responsible governance, environ-
mental stewardship, and measurable
social impact. Sustainability at IDH is
not treated as a parallel initiative, but
rather as an integrated component of
our operating model.
During 2025, we published our fourth
TCFD-aligned disclosure, reinforcing
our commitment to transparency in
climate-related governance, strate-
gy, and risk management. This year
marked a meaningful step forward in
the maturity of our climate reporting,
most notably through the expansion
of our Scope 1 and Scope 2 green-
house gas inventory. Our emissions
assessment now covers 726 locations
in Egypt and 37 in Jordan, reflecting
full operational boundary coverage
in these markets. This represents a
significant broadening of data capture
compared to prior reporting cycles
and strengthens the integrity of our
carbon accounting framework.
We continue to advance our Decar-
bonisation Plan, focusing on practical,
operationally grounded initiatives.
These include energy efficiency up-
grades such as LED lighting rollouts,
smart building management systems,
enhanced refrigeration management
with leak detection controls, progres-
sive replacement of legacy air condi-
tioning systems, and structured water
management practices aligned with
ISO standards. Sustainable mobility
is another priority area, with for-
ward-looking evaluations of alterna-
tive fleet solutions and initiatives to
encourage lower-carbon commuting
practices among employees.
Importantly, our approach to sustain-
ability extends beyond emissions. We
are strengthening our supply chain
governance through the development
of a Sustainable Procurement Poli-
cy, building on our existing Supplier
Code of Conduct, which embeds
minimum environmental and social
standards into contractual relation-
ships. All direct material expendi-
ture remains subject to defined ESG
obligations, and we maintain zero
tolerance for unethical labour or
environmental practices. Over time,
this structured supplier engagement
framework will allow us to expand our
emissions inventory to include rele-
vant Scope 3 categories, with report-
ing expected to commence in 2026.
Governance remains central to our
responsible operations agenda. ESG
oversight continues to sit with the
Board Audit Committee, supported by
the Sustainability Steering Commit-
tee at the executive level. Day-to-day
coordination is managed through the
Investment Relations function under
direct Board oversight, ensuring that
sustainability considerations remain
closely linked to disclosure standards
and capital market expectations.
Beyond environmental consider-
ations, our responsible operations
agenda continues to prioritise patient
accessibility, data confidentiality,
clinical quality, and employee wellbe-
ing. We continue to invest in training
programmes and quality assurance
systems across our expanding branch
network. Through structured aware-
ness initiatives and internal innova-
tion platforms, we are also embedding
a culture of environmental responsi-
bility and continuous improvement
across the organisation.
As we scale across structurally attrac-
tive healthcare markets, responsible
operations remain fundamental to
how we grow. By strengthening gov-
ernance and embedding sustainabil-
ity into procurement and operational
processes, we are reinforcing the
resilience of our platform while safe-
guarding long-term stakeholder value.

Positioning IDH for continued
long-term growth
As we look ahead, IDH is well posi-
tioned to build on the progress achieved
during the year. Our expanded network,
strengthened service offering, improved
cost structure, and enhanced profita-
bility profile provide a solid foundation
for continued growth. With a platform
that combines scale and an increasingly
diversified service mix, we enter the
coming period with both momentum
and clarity of purpose.
At the same time, management contin-
ues to closely monitor evolving mac-
roeconomic conditions and regional
developments, including the escalation
of the U.S.–Israel conflict with Iran in
early 2026, which may introduce height-
ened uncertainty across the region,
particularly in markets such as Jordan
and Saudi Arabia.
In Egypt, our priority remains deep-
ening penetration in underserved
geographies while enhancing value per
patient. We intend to continue rolling
out new branches in targeted locations
that strengthen network density and
referral capture, particularly outside
major urban centres. At the same time,
we will further expand higher-value
verticals, including radiology and
radiotherapy, building on the successful
integration of Cairo Ray. We also plan
to continue strengthening our house-
call and digital booking ecosystem,
enhancing convenience and reinforcing
patient loyalty. Operationally, we will
focus on sustaining margin resilience
through procurement optimisation,
workforce productivity initiatives, and
further integration of data analytics into
decision-making.
In Jordan, our strategy centres on
defending and expanding market share
through volume-led growth and service
excellence within a regulated pricing
environment. We will continue investing
in patient acquisition initiatives and
loyalty programmes while broadening
our specialised test portfolio to deepen
relationships with referring physicians
and institutional clients. Maintaining
operational efficiency and disciplined
cost control will remain critical to pro-
tecting margins in this market.
In Nigeria, having delivered EBITDA
positivity, our next phase involves mod-
ernising additional facilities, selectively
expanding the branch footprint, and
strengthening the corporate and insur-
ance client base. We will continue align-
ing pricing with inflationary dynamics
while driving operational efficiency and
quality standards that differentiate us
from smaller, informal operators. Over
time, we see meaningful consolidation
opportunities in this fragmented market.
Saudi Arabia remains a strategic growth
engine with a long runway ahead.
In the near term, our emphasis is on
disciplined ramp-up and operational
scale. We plan to expand the network
further, with additional branch openings
designed to increase market coverage
in Riyadh and other high-density areas.
Alongside physical expansion, we will
continue investing in brand building,
physician engagement, and service
portfolio enhancement to accelerate
patient growth. As volumes increase,
our objective is to progressively narrow
losses and move toward operational
breakeven, supported by improved
utilisation and cost absorption.
Across the Group, digitalisation remains
a central pillar of our growth strategy.
We are working to enhance our digital
patient interface, expand data-driven
cross-selling capabilities, and deploy
more advanced analytics to optimise
pricing and resource allocation. We will
also continue advancing automation
within laboratory processes to improve
turnaround times and operational con-
sistency while protecting margins.
From a capital allocation perspective,
we remain disciplined. Our asset-light
model enables us to pursue expansion
without excessive capital intensity,
while preserving flexibility for selective
bolt-on acquisitions or strategic part-
nerships that enhance capabilities or
accelerate entry into adjacent segments.
The progress achieved during 2025
reflects the strength of our strategy, the
dedication of our teams, and the trust
placed in us by millions of patients
across our markets. With clear mar-
ket-specific action plans, continued
operational discipline, and a scalable
platform, we are confident in our ability
to sustain this momentum and deliver
long-term value for our stakeholders
while contributing meaningfully to the
development of healthcare systems
across the region.

Chief Financial Officer’s Note
As I complete my second year with
IDH, I am encouraged by the tangible
progress we have made in strength-
ening the Groups financial profile,
enhancing organisational alignment,
and positioning the business for its
next phase of growth and regional ex-
pansion. When I joined in early 2024,
our priorities were clear: reinforce
profitability, institutionalise perfor-
mance discipline, diversify revenue
streams, and build a scalable platform
capable of delivering sustainable
growth across markets. Two years on,
2025 results demonstrate meaningful
advancement across each of these
dimensions.
Sherif El Zeiny
Chief Financial Officer
A Disciplined Strategy with
Regional Ambition
Since 2024, we have executed against
a consistent strategic framework built
on three core pillars: consolidating
leadership in Egypt, expanding re-
gionally to increase foreign currency
earnings, and embedding stronger
governance and KPI alignment across
the organisation.
Egypt remains the cornerstone of
our profitability and cash gener-
ation. At the same time, revenues
generated outside Egypt account for
approximately 15% of Group turno-
ver — a level we believe underrep-
resents the scale of regional oppor-
tunity. Increasing this proportion
is therefore a central financial and
strategic objective.
In 2025, we continued to build mo-
mentum in Saudi Arabia, delivered a
successful operational turnaround in
Nigeria, and maintained stable perfor-
mance in Jordan. Looking ahead, 2026
will be an important year for regional
expansion. We are actively pursuing
organic growth in Saudi Arabia and
exploring selective entry opportuni-
ties across the GCC. In parallel, we
remain open to inorganic transactions
where valuation, strategic fit, and
return thresholds are met.
Diversifying geographically is not
solely a growth ambition; it is a
structural risk mitigation measure. A
larger foreign currency revenue base
enhances our resilience against future
currency volatility and strengthens
the predictability of consolidated
earnings and cash flows.
Delivering Profitable and
Scalable Growth
FY 2025 was a year of strong finan-
cial execution. The Group reported
revenues of EGP 7.9 billion, up 37%
year-on-year, supported by an 11%
increase in tests performed and a 24%
rise in average revenue per test. This
combination of disciplined pricing
and steady volume expansion trans-
lated into material operating leverage.
EBITDA increased 61% to EGP 2.7 bil-
lion, with margins improving to 34.9%
(2024: 29.7%), while net profit reached
EGP 1.3 billion, up 29% versus last
year with a 16.6% margin (2024:
17.6%). Importantly, cost discipline
underpinned this performance. Cost
of goods sold declined to 57.3% of
revenue versus 61.9% last year, while
SG&A fell to 15.0% compared to 16.9%

in 2024, reflecting procurement opti-
misation, improved inventory man-
agement, and tighter performance
oversight across markets.
Nigeria stands out as a significant
achievement. Echo-Lab delivered posi-
tive EBITDA for the full year, validating
the restructuring and cost control
measures implemented over the past
two years. In Saudi Arabia, although
still in ramp-up mode, we achieved
strong revenue growth and improved
cost absorption, narrowing losses and
reinforcing our confidence in the long-
term scalability of the business.
Embedding Performance
Alignment and Governance
Discipline
A central focus of my tenure has been
strengthening performance manage-
ment and harmonising KPIs across
the Group. Historically, operational
targets and reporting standards varied
by geography and function. Over the
past two years, we have standardised
financial and operational metrics,
aligning them with global bench-
marks and linking them directly to
executive accountability.
This alignment ensures that every
function — from procurement and
operations to sales and finance —
operates under unified objectives.
All C-level leaders are now working
within a harmonised performance
framework, supported by improved
reporting transparency and tighter
internal controls.
The result is a more cohesive
organisation, with clearer lines of
accountability and improved visi-
bility into the drivers of profitability
across markets.
Advancing Digital
Infrastructure and Data
Integration
Digital transformation continues to
be one of the most important ena-
blers of this shift. During 2025, we
deepened our investment in systems
integration and analytics to strength-
en decision-making and improve
operational efficiency.
Our CRM platform is enhancing
sales effectiveness and patient
engagement, while SAP Analytics
Cloud supports more sophisticated
financial planning, forecasting, and
performance monitoring. The con-
tinued rollout of our data warehouse
infrastructure has improved auto-
mation and reporting accuracy, with
integration across applications to
allow for customisable reports and
enabling management to respond
more quickly to operational trends.
In parallel, we are integrating HR
systems and performance manage-
ment tools into our digital backbone,
ensuring that workforce planning,
productivity tracking, and incen-
tive structures are directly linked to
financial targets. These initiatives
require upfront investment; however,
they are designed to generate meas-

and enhanced organisational agility.
Aligning Incentives with
Growth and Cash Generation
Cultural transformation remains
inseparable from financial transforma-
tion. Over the past year, we refined our
incentive structures to more closely
align employee performance with
strategic objectives. Revised collection
schemes have already contributed to
improvements in working capital man-
agement and cash conversion cycle.
From January 2026, we have im-
plemented enhanced, perfor-
mance-driven sales incentive
programmes aimed at accelerating
revenue growth and strengthening
market penetration. While these
programmes will increase operat-
ing expenses, they are structured to
deliver tangible return on invest-
ment through accelerated growth,
improved customer retention, and
stronger competitive positioning.
Our approach is that incentives must
be measurable, performance-based,
and value-accretive. By directly link-
ing rewards to financial outcomes,
we are embedding a results-oriented
culture that supports long-term share-
holder value creation.
Capital Allocation and
Financial Discipline
Throughout 2025, we maintained a
prudent approach to capital allocation.
The strength of our cash generation
allowed us to resume dividend distri-
butions during the year, with the Board
of Directors declaring a dividend of
$0.0085 per share for the year ended
31 December 2025, representing a
total distribution of $4.9 million. This
payout aligns with our commitment
to delivering sustainable shareholder
value while maintaining flexibility to
fund promising growth projects. Given
the current geopolitical landscape and
market volatility, the Board remains
prudent in its capital allocation. We
intend to re-evaluate as market condi-

paramount. We will pursue expansion
only where expected returns justify the
associated risks and where transactions
strengthen our competitive position or
enhance foreign currency earnings. Our
objective is to balance shareholder re-
turns with growth investment, ensuring
sustainable value creation over time.
As we assess potential GCC opportunities, capital

As we enter 2026, our priorities are clear. We will continue consolidating leadership in Egypt through opera-
tional excellence and disciplined pricing. We will accelerate regional expansion to increase the contribution of
foreign currency revenues. We will further institutionalise KPI alignment and governance discipline across mar-
kets. And we will continue leveraging digital tools to enhance performance transparency and decision-making.
All of these initiatives serve a unified objective: safeguarding the Company’s resilience while expanding its
growth horizon. By strengthening systems, aligning incentives, and diversifying geographically, we are building
a more robust and professionally managed organisation capable of delivering consistent, risk-adjusted returns.
I would like to thank our entire management team and colleagues across the Group for their dedication and
commitment, as well as our CEO, Dr. El Sherbini, for her continued leadership and strategic clarity, with
the progress achieved over the past two years reflecting the strength of our people and the discipline of our
collective execution.
With stronger foundations, improved profitability, and a clear regional roadmap, I remain confident that IDH
is well positioned to deliver sustained, profitable growth in the years ahead.

Our Markets
IDH operates across five emerging
markets with healthcare systems that
differ markedly from those in more
mature Western economies. Care
delivery is split between public and
private providers, and patients typi-
cally have direct access to specialists
without a primary-care gatekeeper,
granting them greater freedom to
choose where to receive diagnostic ser-
vices. Test results are usually delivered
directly to patients and then shared
with their physicians to inform them
of treatment decisions, with digital
channels increasingly complementing
in-person interactions. Within this
landscape, patient choice is driven pri-
marily by service quality, accessibility,
insurance compatibility and pricing,
shaping competitive dynamics across
IDH’s footprint.
Patients requiring diagnostic services
may access care through several chan-
nels, including emergency depart-
ments, outpatient clinics or polyclinics,
or by consulting a specialist physician
directly. While healthcare profession-
als may suggest a particular diagnostic
provider when ordering tests, patients
generally retain the freedom to choose
their preferred service provider. In
making their selection, patients typi-
cally evaluate factors such as service
quality, pricing, insurance coverage
compatibility, and overall reputation.
Walk-in patients—commonly referred
to as self-paying patients—settle the
cost of their tests directly and in ad-
vance of service delivery.
Test results, which are typically
accompanied by a specialist inter-
pretation, are most often collected by
patients in person and subsequently
shared with their treating physician
to support diagnosis and treatment
planning. Reflecting evolving patient
expectations and increased digital
adoption, IDH also offers same-day
electronic delivery of results via SMS,
with full access available through the
Company’s mobile application. In re-
sponse to these dynamics, IDHs sales
and marketing efforts are focused on
actively targeting:
Physicians Contract PatientsWalk-in Patients
through direct sales visits to individual
practitioners, educational and peer
congresses, client information leaflets,
volume-based loyalty programmes,
and the organisation or
sponsorship of
conferences.
through social media channels,
mass-market and targeted health
awareness campaigns, outdoor
advertising, television, radio,
and online advertising.
through direct outreach to
insurers and employers.

Egypt
A structurally attractive market led by
private-sector healthcare expansion
Egypt’s diagnostics market is split
between public and private pro-
viders, with the private segment
comprising hospital-based and stan-
dalone labs and remaining highly
concentrated in major cities, leaving
significant growth potential in un-
derserved regions. Rising corporate
health coverage and the rollout of
mandatory health insurance contin-
ue driving demand for private diag-
nostic services, supported by strong
structural tailwinds.
Egypt remains the most populous
country in MENA, with an estimat-
ed population of 118.4 million at
year-end 2025, of which a growing
proportion is aged 60 and above.
Urbanisation continues to rise, with
most residents concentrated in major
cities such as Cairo and Alexandria,
while significant opportunities exist
in underserved regional areas. Com-
bined with increasing life expectancy
and a rising prevalence of chronic
and lifestyle-related diseases, these
demographic trends continue to
underpin structural growth for the
diagnostics sector.
Within this landscape, IDH remains
the leading private diagnostics pro-
vider by market share, with a strong
position in both laboratory diagnostics
and radiology services, underpinned
by its nationwide footprint, interna-
tional accreditations and long-stand-
ing presence in the market.
Key Macroeconomic
Trends
In 2025, Egypt’s economy continued
to recover, supported by structural re-
forms, international financing, and re-
newed private sector confidence. The
Egyptian Pound stabilised against the
US Dollar, trading in at approximately
46.8 EGP/USD as of February 2026,
underpinned by ongoing IMF pro-
gramme reviews and EU macro-finan-
cial assistance. Notably, in May 2025,
the European Union provisionally
approved a EUR 4 billion macro-fi-
nancial assistance package to support
Egypt’s external financing needs,
complementing earlier disbursements
and tied to policy benchmarks. . Later
in the year, IMF staff-level agreements
on the fifth and sixth reviews of the
Extended Fund Facility were reached,
unlocking potential financing of
around USD 2.5 billion, alongside an
additional USD 1.3 billion under the
Resilience and Sustainability Facility.
These measures, together with gov-
ernment efforts to revitalise privat-
ization, expand infrastructure, and
attract foreign investment, contrib-
uted to stabilising foreign exchange
liquidity and maintaining macroeco-
nomic confidence. Real GDP grew by
an estimated 4.7%, driven by stronger
private consumption, rising tour-
ism, and a rebound in remittances.
Inflation, while still above long-term
targets, moderated to around 12.3%,
reflecting tighter monetary policy and
easing price pressures. Although chal-
lenges remain, including debt sustain-
ability and uneven recovery across
sectors, these developments provide a
more resilient economic platform for
business activity in Egypt.

Outlook
Despite continued progress, Egypt’s
macroeconomic outlook remains sub-
ject to regional geopolitical risks and
the potential for renewed external
shocks, including volatility in glob-
al energy and commodity markets.
Inflationary pressures, while easing
compared to prior years, continue
to weigh on household purchasing
power and remain a key policy focus.
Against this backdrop, Egypt is con-
tinuing to advance its reform agenda
under its IMF-backed programme,
supported by the additional financing
packages and multilateral funding
secured during 2025. These measures
are aimed at safeguarding macroeco-
nomic stability, strengthening foreign
currency liquidity, and sustaining
fiscal discipline.
Looking ahead, forecasts from inter-
national financial institutions remain
constructive. The IMF expects
Egypt’s economy to grow by 4.7% in
2025-2026, supported by improving
private-sector activity, higher in-
vestment inflows, and a more stable
exchange rate environment, while
inflation is projected to moderate to
11.8% by the end of the fiscal year.
With reforms gaining traction and
foreign capital continuing to flow
into key sectors, momentum is ex-
pected to carry into 2026-2027, with
GDP growth forecast at 5.4%, rein-
forcing the country’s medium-term
recovery trajectory. However, recent
geopolitical developments may rein-
troduce inflationary pressures, par-
ticularly through currency pressure
and potential disruptions to energy
markets and supply chains.

Jordan Headline Inflation
Jordan
A Stable, Insurance-Led
Healthcare Market
Jordan boasts one of the most devel-
oped healthcare systems in the Middle
East, supported by a high level of
insurance coverage and a well-estab-
lished network of public and private
providers. Most of the population
is covered by either government or
private insurance schemes, under-
pinning steady demand for diagnostic
services. The country’s diagnostic
market is characterised by regulated
pricing, encouraging operators to focus
on volumes, service quality, and test
portfolio breadth. Demand is further
supported by medical tourism and the
concentration of specialised health-
care providers in Amman, positioning
diagnostics as a critical enabler of the
country’s healthcare ecosystem.
IDH is well positioned to benefit from
Jordan’s stable, insurance-led health-
care system, where regulated pricing
places a premium on quality and effi-
ciency. Through Biolabs internation-
ally accredited platform and strong
reputation, the Group is able to cap-
ture demand from specialist providers
and insured patients, supporting the
sustainable growth of its operations in
the market.
Key Macroeconomic
Trends
In 2025, Jordan’s economy continued to
demonstrate resilience despite ongo-
ing regional instability and external
pressures. Real GDP growth accelerated
modestly, with estimates around 2.7%,
supported by a broad base of activity
including manufacturing, services,
agriculture, and tourism — marking
one of the stronger expansions in recent
years amid external headwinds. Infla-
tion remained firmly contained at low
levels, anchored by the Central Bank
of Jordan’s commitment to maintain-
ing the JOD peg to the US Dollar, with
annual inflation near 2.0% in 2025,
reflecting stable price expectations and
disciplined monetary policy. Foreign
exchange reserves remained at com-
fortable levels relative to GDP, provid-
ing a buffer against external shocks.
International support also continued
to reinforce confidence, as the Europe-
an Union approved a EUR 500 million
macro-financial assistance programme,
with the first EUR 250 million tranche
disbursed in September 2025, while
IMF engagement advanced further in
December 2025, when the Executive
Board completed the fourth review
under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF)
and the first review under the Resil-
ience and Sustainability Facility (RSF),
unlocking approximately USD 240 mil-
lion in immediate financing. Together
with ongoing structural reforms and
regulatory improvements, these devel-
opments underpin a stable and predict-
able macroeconomic environment, pro-
viding a solid foundation for long-term
private sector activity in Jordan.

Jordan GDP Growth
Outlook
Going forward, Jordan’s economic
outlook remains cautiously con-
structive despite ongoing regional
and global uncertainties. Growth is
expected to remain on a steady trajec-
tory in 2026, supported by continued
momentum in tourism, manufac-
turing, services, and export-oriented
sectors, alongside sustained public
and private investment. Inflation is
forecast to remain low and stable,
underpinned by the Central Bank
of Jordan’s firm commitment to
monetary discipline and the Dinars
stability against the US Dollar, helping
preserve purchasing power and mac-
roeconomic predictability. Continued
engagement with the IMF and multi-
lateral partners is expected to support
fiscal consolidation, reform imple-
mentation, and access to external
financing, reinforcing investor con-
fidence. While geopolitical risks and
external shocks remain key variables,
Jordan’s diversified economy, strong
institutional framework, and stable
financial system position the country
to maintain a resilient and supportive
environment for private sector growth
in the year ahead.

Nigeria
A High-Growth
Diagnostics Frontier
Nigeria represents one of the most at-
tractive long-term healthcare markets
in Africa, supported by a rapidly grow-
ing population and a youthful de-
mographic profile, with roughly half
the population under the age of 18.
As disease patterns continue to shift
toward chronic and lifestyle-related
conditions, demand for diagnostic
testing is rising steadily. The diagnos-
tics sector remains highly fragmented
and underpenetrated, dominated by
small independent laboratories and
hospital-based facilities, creating
significant scope for consolidation
and quality-driven growth. Like IDHs
experience in Egypt in earlier dec-
ades, Nigerias market structure offers
a strong opportunity for scale players
to expand through network growth,
service differentiation, and improved
standards of care.
IDH continues to capitalise on these
market dynamics through a focused
integration and value-creation
strategy at Echo-Lab. Since entering
the country, the Group continues to
upscale its operations by renovating
existing branches, expanding the
service portfolio, and modernising
laboratory equipment to raise quality
and efficiency across the network.
This supports the Groups strategy of
capturing share from informal provid-
ers while building a scalable, profes-
sionally managed diagnostics plat-
form in one of Africas most attractive
long-term healthcare markets.
Key Macroeconomic
Trends
In 2025, Nigerias economy continued
to adjust to a broad reform agenda
aimed at restoring macroeconomic
stability. Key measures, including
the lifting of fuel subsidies, foreign
exchange market reforms, and im-
proved revenue collection, reshaped
the economic landscape. Real GDP
grew by 3.9% in 2025, supported by a
recovery in oil production, steady ser-
vices growth, and gradual gains across
non-oil sectors. Inflation eased from
the high levels of 2024, moderating to
around 15.2%, while the Naira re-
mained broadly stable against the US
Dollar, underpinned by confidence in
the unified exchange rate framework
and sustained FX inflows. Foreign
reserves and external liquidity held
firm, supported by remittances and
portfolio inflows.
Fiscal conditions also improved, with
stronger revenue mobilisation and
disciplined spending narrowing the
deficit. In addition, external financ-
ing reinforced macro stability during
the year, including a USD 500 million
World Bank package for MSMEs,
USD 500 million in African Develop-
ment Bank budget support, and an
approved external borrowing plan
exceeding USD 21 billion for infra-
structure and budgetary needs.

Saudi Arabia
Urban Growth and Lifestyle Shifts
Drive Diagnostics Demand
Saudi Arabia presents a compelling
growth opportunity in diagnostics,
underpinned by a rapidly urbanising
population, increasing life expec-
tancy, and a rising prevalence of
lifestyle-related and chronic diseases
such as diabetes, cardiovascular con-
ditions and obesity. The Kingdoms
healthcare market was valued at
approximately USD 1.6 billion in 2025
and is projected to expand significant-
ly over the coming decade, support-
ed by rising adoption of advanced
technologies, expanding healthcare
infrastructure and greater emphasis
on preventive and precision care.
Riyadh, in particular, is experiencing
strong population growth driven by
both internal migration and an influx
of expatriates, creating concentrat-
ed demand for advanced medical
and diagnostic services. While per
capita healthcare spending remains
below that of regional peers, Vision
2030 reforms and the Health Sector
Transformation Program are acceler-
ating private-sector participation and
prioritising investment in high-quality
diagnostic capabilities, structurally
reshaping the market and supporting
long-term, demand-led growth.
IDH leverages these tailwinds through
its flagship Biolab KSA, prioritizing
the development of a reputable,
high-quality brand, expanding its
service portfolio, and growing its
branch network strategically in key
areas. The venture has implemented
comprehensive marketing and patient
engagement initiatives, including
partnerships with local healthcare
providers and community awareness
campaigns, to capture demand from
both insured and self-paying patients.
With a strong operational foundation
and alignment with the Kingdoms
long-term healthcare development
goals, Biolab KSA is well-positioned
to meet rising demand, contribute to
higher standards of care, and drive
sustainable growth in Saudi Arabias
emerging private diagnostics sector.
Key Macroeconomic
Trends
Throughout 2025, Saudi Arabias
economy continued to shift away from
hydrocarbons towards a more diver-
sified and domestically driven growth
model, even as oil production re-
mained constrained and regional geo-
political tensions persisted. Economic
activity strengthened materially from
2024, supported by sustained public
investment, private-sector expansion
and Vision 2030 reform momentum.
Non-oil GDP once again outpaced the
oil sector during the year, reflecting the
deepening impact of the Kingdoms
diversification agenda. Additionally,
structural reforms under Vision 2030
continued to crowd in private capi-
tal, improve productivity and expand
domestic demand, reinforcing the shift
towards a more balanced and resil-
ient economic base. Macroeconomic
stability remained a key differentiator,
with inflation contained at low levels
and the Saudi Riyals long-standing
peg to the US dollar anchoring curren-
cy stability. In tandem, fiscal diver-
sification progressed meaningfully,
with non-oil revenues accounting for
an increasingly significant share of
total government income, reducing
exposure to oil price volatility. More-
over, governmental efforts to actively
manage the Kingdoms balance sheet
during the year continued to progress,
with Saudi Arabia tapping interna-
tional capital markets and arranging
new financing streams to fund priority
infrastructure and reform investments
while refinancing maturing obliga-
tions. Although domestic consumption
and tourism metrics still lag some
regional peers, the scale and breadth
of ongoing reforms, underpinned by
a stable framework and continued
access to global capital, imply substan-
tial potential, providing a supportive
macroeconomic backdrop for consum-
er-facing and services sectors.

KSA Headline Inflation
KSA GDP Growth
Outlook
Looking forward, the International

approximately 4.5% in 2026, reflect-
ing resilient growth underpinned by
structural reforms, diversification
efforts and a gradual unwinding of
the Organization of the Petroleum
Exporting Countries (OPEC+) produc-
tion cuts. Non-oil sectors are expected
to remain the primary growth en-
gine, supported by strong domestic
demand and ongoing investment in
services, tourism, logistics and trade.
Additionally, inflation is anticipated
to stay moderate, anchored by the
Saudi Riyal fixed against the US Dollar
and continued policy focus on price
stability. Overall, the Kingdoms stable
macroeconomic framework, broaden-
ing revenue base, and continued pol-
icy commitment to diversification are
set to support sustainable expansion;
however, recent geopolitical devel-
opments in the region may introduce
heightened uncertainty, with poten-
tial implications for investment flows,

Sudan
Cautious Engagement Amid
Ongoing Conflict
The Sudanese healthcare market
remains heavily constrained due
to ongoing political and securi-
ty challenges stemming from the
civil conflict between the Sudanese
Armed Forces and the Rapid Support
Forces (RSF), which erupted in April
2023 and has continued throughout
2025, causing widespread disruption
to public services. The conflict has
severely degraded the health sys-
tems capacity, with a large share of
facilities in conflict-affected areas
non-functional and access to care
highly limited. Despite these con-
ditions, urban centres continue to
exhibit concentrated demand for pri-
vate medical and diagnostic services,
and government measures to encour-
age private-sector participation and
improve service delivery provide a
foundation for longer-term market
potential. International development
partners, including the World Bank,
have accelerated support measures
through health assistance and safety
net projects designed to restore ac-
cess to essential services for vulnera-
ble populations, reflecting the urgent
need to stabilise and rebuild the
country’s core health infrastructure.
Within this landscape, IDH has cau-
tiously reopened one of its branches,
with the remaining 17 branches shut
down indefinitely, prioritising staff
and patient safety while positioning
itself to capture demand once condi-
tions stabilise.
Key Macroeconomic
Trends
Throughout 2025, Sudan’s econo-
my remained severely impacted by
the ongoing civil conflict, which has
disrupted economic activity, con-
strained public services and exacer-
bated humanitarian needs. After a
sharp contraction in 2024, the fragile
economic environment persisted, with
inflation running at elevated levels and
foreign exchange shortages under-
mining import capacity and business
confidence. During the year, multiple
international partners continued to
provide critical financial and techni-
cal support to stabilize basic servic-
es. The World Bank Group, through
programmes such as the Sudan Health
Assistance and Response to Emergen-
cies (SHARE) Project, and multi-do-
nor trust funds, mobilised significant
funding alongside key partners; the
African Development Bank approved
emergency grants to help restore
essential services, including healthcare
and infrastructure. United Nations
agencies, including OCHA, WHO,
UNICEF and the World Food Pro-
gramme, coordinated humanitarian
financing and service delivery, while
bilateral and multilateral donors such
as USAID and the European Union
contributed to pooled funds and safety
net programmes. Implementation
partners including Mercy Corps and
Catholic Relief Services expanded their
reach despite operational challenges,
complementing efforts by other NGOs
to deliver lifesaving assistance. Al-
though macroeconomic and security
conditions remain constrained, this
sustained external support underpins
essential services and helps maintain a
basis for future recovery.

Sudan GDP Growth
Outlook
Sudan’s near-term economic
outlook remains subdued by the
continuation of the conflict, with
security risks, inflationary pressures
and foreign-exchange shortages
expected to persist. However, sus-
tained international financial and
humanitarian support is helping
to preserve essential services and
prevent further institutional erosion,
creating a foundation for stabili-
sation once tensions subside. A
meaningful recovery would require
a durable political settlement, but
even incremental improvements in
security could potentially unlock a
gradual rebound in urban econom-
ic activity, trade flows and basic
service provision. Over the medium
term, Sudan’s long-term growth po-
tential remains underpinned by its
large population, agricultural base
and re-engagement pathways with
international financial institutions.

Our Strategy
& Business
Model
An Asset-Light
Business Model
Since inception, IDH has delivered
capital-efficient growth through
its asset-light model, built on two
core pillars. The first is its scalable
Hub, Spoke, and Spike network
of branches, which supports effi-
cient expansion. The second is its
long-standing strategic partnerships
with key suppliers, which enable the
Group to access advanced diagnos-
tic equipment and capture growth
opportunities without significant
capital investment, even in chal-
lenging operating environments.
Through these two pillars, IDH is
able to provide best in-class servic-
es to its target segments, including
walk-in and contracts patients.
Hub, Spoke,
and Spike
In Egypt, IDHs largest market, the
CAP-accredited Mega Lab serves as
the Groups central “Hub,” housing
state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment
and providing the scale and capacity
required to process samples collected
across the network. Routine testing is

scale efficiently, maximise revenue
generation, and deepen strategic sup-
plier partnerships, all while creating
cost synergies across the business.

Strong Supplier
Relationships
IDH’s scale and robust market po-
sition unlock significant bargaining
power with suppliers, enabling the
Group to secure favourable com-
mercial terms for diagnostic equip-
ment and test kits. Under its supplier
agreements, which typically include
the provision of testing equipment
alongside reagents, chemicals, and
ongoing maintenance, IDH commits
to minimum annual volumes that are
reliably met given its growing scale.
This structure allows the Group to
benefit from lower costs per test while
avoiding the upfront capital expend-
iture associated with purchasing
equipment outright.
Our Target Segments
IDH serves two primary customer segments: contract (corporate) clients and
walk-in (individual) patients. In addition to in-branch services, the Group
offers home collection services to both segments, as well as lab-to-lab testing
services for corporate clients.
Supplier contracts generally run for five
to seven years, with equipment upgrades
incorporated upon renewal. These
long-term arrangements help protect
IDH from pricing volatility in challenging
macroeconomic environments, particu-
larly amid persistent inflation across sev-
eral markets. The Group partners with
leading global manufacturers, including
Siemens, Roche, Abbott Laboratories,
Sysmex, General Electric, and Philips,
ensuring access to high-quality tech-
nology and consistent service standards
across its network.
Contract Patients
Walk-in Clients
Walk-in clients, also referred
to as self-payers, consist of
individuals who pay directly
for diagnostic services and
accounted for 33% of Group
revenues in 2025.
Contract clients, which
generated 67% of
consolidated revenue,
include institutions such as
trade unions, syndicates,
insurance providers,
banks, and corporates that
engage IDH under annually
renewable agreements
with pre-agreed pricing
per test and per member.

amid inflationary environments.
These initiatives are further bolstered
by the Groups loyalty programme,
launched in 2021, which has delivered
a steady increase in testing intensi-

Country/regional risk —
Economic and Forex
Egypt: IDH is directly impacted by the economic
conditions of its largest market, Egypt, and, to a lesser
extent, those of its other operating geographies. Egypt
accounted for 84.6% of consolidated revenues in 2025
(82.5% in 2024) and 91% of adjusted EBITDA (93% in
2024).
Starting in early 2022, IDH’s home and largest market
has been directly impacted by the Russian-Ukraine war
due to Egypt’s reliance on wheat imports and tour-
ism inflows from both countries, as well as its broader
exposure to capital outflows during periods of global
and regional economic uncertainty. These pressures
were further exacerbated by the global tightening of
monetary policy during 2022–2024, which led to re-
duced foreign capital inflows across emerging markets.
Meanwhile, since late 2023, Egypt has also been affect-
ed by the ongoing conflict in Gaza and wider regional
tensions, which have periodically weighed on tourism
activity, investor sentiment, and Suez Canal traffic—an
important source of foreign currency for the country.
Disruptions to Israeli natural gas supply during periods
of escalation also contributed to intermittent energy
supply constraints, although the government has taken
steps to mitigate these risks through diversified energy
sourcing and infrastructure investments.
Overall, management reiterates that IDH employs a
robust and resilient business model which has helped
the Company navigate several economic and political
downturns, including two revolutions, while allowing
the business to expand its offering and record positive
growth across key operational and financial perfor-
mance indicators. Moreover, as part of IDH’s long-term
growth strategy, the Company is working to diversify its
geographic exposure by decreasing its exposure to any
single country. To this end in January 2024, the Compa-
ny launched its Saudi Arabian venture under the name
Biolab KSA. Once fully ramped up, the venture will offer
a full suite of diagnostic testing services.
IDH has maintained an active approach in shielding
the business from exchange rate fluctuations in its
markets. As part of its mitigation efforts, IDH negoti-
ates contracts with tenures ranging from 5 to 7 years (at
fixed FX rates, which only get revised once the currency
surpasses an agreed upon value) and purchases labo-
ratory test kits on contract with volume-linked prices.
Meanwhile, thanks to its large scale and longstanding
supplier relationships, the Company is able to secure
favourable test kit prices with all its major suppliers.

Specific Risk Mitigation
Despite these external pressures, Egypt’s macroeco-
nomic environment began to stabilise significantly fol-
lowing the landmark economic reforms implemented
in early 2024. These included the transition to a flexible
exchange rate regime in March 2024 and a substantial
tightening of monetary policy to address inflation and
restore confidence in the financial system. In parallel,
Egypt secured significant external support, including
investment commitments from Abu Dhabis ADQ,
expanded financing arrangements with the Interna-
tional Monetary Fund (IMF), and additional funding
from international and regional partners including
the European Union. These measures helped restore
foreign currency liquidity, eliminate the parallel foreign
exchange market, and encourage the return of foreign
investment and remittance flows through formal chan-
nels. As a result, throughout 2025, the Egyptian Pound
has demonstrated relative stability compared to the
volatility experienced in prior periods.
Inflationary pressures, which peaked in early 2024 amid
currency adjustments and subsidy reforms, began to
moderate during 2025 as the effects of monetary tight-
ening and improved foreign exchange availability took
hold. While inflation remains above the Central Bank
of Egypt’s long-term targets, it has been on a declin-
ing trajectory, allowing the Central Bank to gradually
begin easing monetary policy during 2025 following the
aggressive tightening cycle of the preceding two years.
Nonetheless, inflation and interest rates remain elevated
relative to historical norms, reflecting the lagged impact
of structural reforms and global economic uncertainty.
Egypt’s political environment remained stable during
2025 following the presidential elections held in De-
cember 2023, which saw President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi
secure a new six-year mandate. The government has con-
tinued to advance its structural reform agenda, including
fiscal consolidation, privatisation initiatives, and policies
aimed at increasing private sector participation in eco-
nomic activity. These reforms are intended to strengthen
macroeconomic resilience, improve fiscal sustainability,
and support long-term economic growth.
While external risks—including geopolitical tensions,
global financial conditions, and commodity price vola-
tility—continue to present potential challenges, Egypts
economic outlook has improved materially compared
to prior years. The country’s strengthened foreign
Additionally, the Company takes proactive steps to
hedge against foreign currency risks on a case-by-case
basis whenever applicable.

exchange position, improved investor confidence, and
ongoing reform programme have contributed to greater
macroeconomic stability. IDH continues to closely
monitor developments in Egypt and has demonstrated
resilience through prior economic cycles, supported by
the essential nature of its services, diversified customer
base, and flexible operating model.
Foreign currency risk: IDH is exposed to foreign
currency risk, placing potential pressure on the cost
side of the business. Despite the majority of the Com-
pany’s suppliers receiving payments in EGP, due to the
fact that materials are imported, prices vary based on
the exchange rate between EGP and foreign currencies.
Moreover, a small portion of suppliers are priced in for-
eign currency and paid in EGP based on the prevalent
exchange rate at the time of purchase. It is important
to note that starting in spring 2024, FX availability for
importers significantly improved with priority sectors
able to access the needed capital to fulfil obligations
and resume normal business operations.
Nigeria: macroeconomic environment remained char-
acterized by elevated currency and inflation volatility
following the liberalization of the Nigerian Naira in
2023. The currency remained under pressure through
2025, with the Naira trading at approximately NGN
1,443 per US Dollar on average in late 2025 and fluctu-
ating within a range of approximately NGN 1,450–1,600
per US Dollar during the year, reflecting ongoing for-
eign exchange constraints and structural adjustments
in the economy. While volatility persisted, exchange
rate movements began to stabilize relative to the sharp
depreciation experienced in prior periods, supported
by ongoing monetary and fiscal reforms.
As a result of the devaluation and foreign currency
shortages, Nigerian inflation has maintained an upward
trend, with inflation rates averaging 21-22% throughout
2025 (33.2% in 2024).
During 2025, almost none of the Company’s cost of
supplies were payable in US Dollars apart from one
supplier, minimizing exposure to foreign currency risk.
Furthermore, the Company’s proactive inventory and
supplier management strategy has seen it able to contain
the impacts of a weaker EGP and rising inflation on its
raw material expenses with its raw material to sales ratio
improving year-on-year in 2025 at 19.3% (versus 22.0%
in 2024 and 22.2% in 2023). The Company will continue
to capitalise on its established reputation and position
as a leading diagnostic services provider in the region to
negotiate favourable prices and mitigate the impact of
foreign currency fluctuations whenever possible.
It is important to highlight that starting January 2024,
IDH has renegotiated the terms of its contracts with
its major suppliers to pay for its supplies in EGP. Some
contracts with major suppliers, however, are fixed at
USD prices, with payments made in EGP at the official
exchange rate at the time of payment. As such, there
have been no USD payments for supplies since the
beginning of 2024.
In response to the high inflationary pressures in
Nigeria, management is methodically implementing
cost optimization strategies, while implementing price
increases across its service portfolio. In 2025, average
revenue per test in Nigeria rose 31% year-on-year in
local currency terms, signalling the effectiveness of
management’s pricing strategies.
It is worth noting that Nigerian operations are naturally
shielded from foreign currency risk and inflation, due
to IDH’s asset base in the country which can be sold in
US Dollars.

Country/regional risk — Political & Security
Sudan: Sudan’s economic progress continues to be affected
by economic and political turmoil, starting with the seces-
sion of South Sudan in 2011 and the associated loss of the
majority of the country’s oil production. This unrest contin-
ued throughout the remainder of the decade, eventually cul-
minating in the removal of the country’s president, President
Al-Bashir, in 2019 via a military coup. Despite a significant
easing of tensions in 2022, a violent conflict erupted in April
2023 between two rival groups; the Sudanese Armed Forces
(SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The conflict is
currently ongoing resulting in widespread humanitarian,
economic, and infrastructure disruption across the country.
Millions of people have been displaced, and economic activ-
ity remains severely constrained, with ongoing interruptions
to healthcare services, logistics, banking operations, and
power infrastructure. The security situation remains highly
volatile, with no clear timeline for a full resolution of hostili-
ties or stabilisation of the operating environment.
As a result of the ongoing conflict, nearly all of IDH’s
branches in Sudan remain closed indefinitely. As at
year-end 2025, only one branch remains partially oper-
ational, operating on a limited basis depending on local
security and infrastructure conditions.
Nigeria: the country faces security challenges on sev-
eral fronts, including re-emerging ethnic tensions and
resurgent attacks by Islamist militants in the northeast.
Political instability is further magnified by economic
pressures, which remained volatile over the past two
years, primarily driven by major structural reforms
implemented by the Nigerian government. These have
included the removal of fuel subsidies and the liberal-
isation of the exchange rate regime, which resulted in
significant depreciation of the Nigerian Naira, elevat-
ed inflation, and higher operating and transportation
costs across the economy. Inflation remained elevated
throughout 2024 and 2025, continuing to weigh on
household purchasing power and business costs.
It is worth highlighting that in 2025 Sudan only consti-
tuted 0.03% of consolidated revenues. With regards to
the ongoing conflict, management continues to actively
monitor the evolving situation on the ground, taking all
necessary measures to safeguard its operations and guar-
antee the health and safety of its personnel and patients.
This included the temporary suspension of all commercial
activities at the start of the conflict at 17 of its 18 branches.
IDH is also taking steps to keep its stakeholders updated
on the developing situation.
In 2025 Nigeria comprised just 1.5% of IDH’s consolidated
revenues. Additionally, while security and political chal-
lenges do impact operations in the country, IDH’s industry
continued to be largely inelastic by nature, with patient
and test volumes remaining relatively resilient throughout
economic cycles. This is particularly apparent given the
consistent growth in operational KPIs, with test and patient
volumes recording a compound annual growth rate of 5.3%
and 0.8%, respectively, between 2019 and 2025. It is impor-
tant to mention, however, that Echo-Lab delivered a signifi-
cant turnaround, reporting EBITDA of NGN 193 million in
2025, compared with an EBITDA loss of NGN 846 million in
2024. This equates to approximately EGP 6 million, versus a
loss of approximately EGP 26 million last year.
While these political challenges are particularly difficult
to mitigate, IDH continued to take all necessary steps to
safeguard its employees and operations. The Group em-
ploys rigorous standards to evaluate the country’s political
climate, ensuring it is well-equipped to deal with any
developments as they unfold.

Middle East Conflicts
The latest escalation of the long-lasting Israeli Pales-
tinian conflict erupted on 7 October 2023 following an
attack by Gaza-based group, Hamas. Israel responded
by launching a retaliation campaign on Gaza, enact-
ing a 15-month-long total siege on the territory. As of
February 2026, the conflict is conflict is estimated to
have resulted in the death of over 75,000 people and
the injury of an additional 171,000. In October 2025,
Israel and Hamas reached a ceasefire and hostage-re-
lease agreement, bringing about a temporary reduction
in hostilities. However, the truce has remained fragile,
with periodic flare-ups and ongoing uncertainty around
longer-term political and security arrangements.
More recently, in early 2026, regional conflict has
broadened to include a direct escalation involving the
United States, Israel, and Iran, marking a significant
intensification of regional tensions. This development
has increased the risk of wider geopolitical disruption
across the Middle East, with potential implications
for energy markets, trade routes, and overall regional
stability.
With the Gaza Strip bordering IDH’s home and largest
market, Egypt, and with several other of the Company’s
geographies situated within the region, namely Jordan
and Saudi Arabia, the evolving conflict environment
creates the potential for heightened economic and
political headwinds. These developments may affect
tourism flows in neighbouring countries, weigh on in-
vestor sentiment, and contribute to increased volatility
in capital flows.
For Egypt specifically, the conflict has contributed to
regional insecurity and, at points, to disruptions in
energy and trade dynamics. Moreover, due to ongoing
attacks on shipping lanes in and around the Red Sea, a
number of shipping companies have diverted vessels
away from the Suez Canal route, creating pressure on
canal-related foreign currency inflows. Meanwhile,
broader regional escalation — including disruption to
the Strait of Hormuz and reported targeting of energy
infrastructure in Saudi Arabia and GCC countries — has
heightened volatility in regional energy markets, with
potential spillover effects on energy supply, pricing,
and fiscal dynamics across the region.
While this specific conflict has no direct mitigations
from the Company’s side, IDH continues to actively
monitor the situation, placing an emphasis on remain-
ing updated on the impacts of the war on IDHs mar-
kets of operation and the subsequent repercussions on
IDH’s business.
However, it is worth noting that IDH’s business is inher-
ently resilient to macroeconomic and political difficul-
ties, due to its inelastic nature of healthcare and diagnos-
tics demand. While the Company does not expect any
major direct impact from this war on its operations, it
will continue monitoring events and update the market,
as necessary.

Global Supply Chain Disruptions
While global supply chain disruptions that negatively
impacted businesses and consumers during the post-Cov-
id-19 recovery have largely moderated, they continue
to operate below optimal efficiency levels and remain
vulnerable to geopolitical and trade-related shocks.
Throughout 2025, key challenges affecting global supply
chains included ongoing missile attacks on commercial
shipping routes in the Red Sea, continued logistical bot-
tlenecks in critical shipping corridors, and renewed trade
protectionism, particularly following the reintroduction
and expansion of tariff measures by the United States on a
broad range of imported goods. These tariffs, targeting key
manufacturing inputs and equipment from major trad-
ing partners, have contributed to increased costs, supply
re-routing, and heightened uncertainty across global
procurement and manufacturing networks.
IDH’s management team continually monitors the
evolving situation and have taken proactive steps to
build up its inventory to shield the Group from any po-
tential future disruptions. IDH is in continual dialogue
with key suppliers to gauge the risk associated with a
shortage of materials and is yet to identify a weakness.
Throughout 2025, thanks to IDH’s proactive inventory
build-up and sourcing strategy, the Group continued to
face no problems acquiring raw materials.
IDH boasts strong, longstanding relationships with its
key suppliers, to whom IDH remains a large regional cli-
ent. Due to the sheer volume of kits the Group purchases
on a regular basis, the Company is able to successfully
secure favourable pricing conditions and mitigate the
impacts of inflationary pressures to maintain relatively
stable raw material costs as a percentage of revenues.
Total raw material costs as a percentage of sales stood at
19.3% in 2025, compared to 22.0% in 2024 and 22.2% in 2023.
Remittance of dividend regulations and
repatriation of profit risk
The Groups ability to remit dividends abroad may be
adversely affected by changes in foreign exchange reg-
ulations, capital controls, or taxation frameworks in the
jurisdictions in which it operates. Under Egyptian law,
companies seeking to transfer dividends overseas are re-
quired to obtain the necessary regulatory clearances and
comply with applicable withholding tax requirements.
While Egypt experienced periods of foreign currency
shortages and administrative constraints in 2022 and
2023, conditions improved materially during 2024 and
2025, supported by enhanced foreign exchange liquidity
and macroeconomic stabilisation measures.
During 2025, IDH successfully resumed dividend distri-
butions following a period of hiatus between 2023 and
2024, reflecting improved foreign exchange availability.
The Group did not encounter material obstacles in ob-
taining the necessary approvals or executing dividend
repatriation.
The Board will continue to periodically review divi-
dend decisions in light of prevailing market conditions,
foreign exchange dynamics, and the Groups strategic
investment priorities to safeguard both shareholder
returns and long-term financial resilience.
Supplier Risk
IDH faces the risk of suppliers re-opening price
negotiations in the face of increased inflationary
pressures and/or a possible, albeit limited, devalua-
tion risk.
IDH’s supplier risk is concentrated amongst its
three largest suppliers – Siemens, Roche, and
Sysmex – who provide the Company with kits con-
stituting 50% of the total value of raw materials in
2025 (48% in 2024).

Legal and regulatory risk to the business
The Groups business is subject to, and thus affected by,
extensive, rigid, and constantly evolving laws and regu-
lations, in addition to changing enforcement regimes in
each of its operating geographies. Further, the Groups
position as a major player in the Egyptian private
clinical laboratory market subjects IDH to antitrust and
competition-related restrictions, as well as the chance
of investigation by the Egyptian Competition Authority.
The Groups legal and the quality assurance teams work
together to keep IDH fully informed, and in compliance
with, both legislative and regulatory updates.
On the antitrust front, the private laboratory segment (of
which IDH is part) accounts for only a small proportion
of the total market, which consists of small private labs,
private chain labs, and large governmental and qua-
si-governmental institutions.
This is an external risk for which few mitigants exist.
In the case of price competition escalation between
market players, the Group relies on its wide national
footprint as a mitigant. More specifically, IDH is able
to leverage its nationwide network to attract contract
clients to the Group (67% of the Company’s revenues
in 2025 were generated through its contract segment),
who prefer IDH’s national reach and established posi-
tion over patchworks of local players.
IDH enjoys limited ability to influence changes to
mandatory pricing policies set forth by government
agencies, as with those in Jordan, where basis tests ac-
count for the majority of IDH’s business in that nation
are subject to price controls. Instead, IDH’s operations
in Jordan are focused on driving volume growth as a
catalyst for expanding revenues.
IDH banks on its strong brand equity in its markets of op-
eration to enjoy a solid positioning. As such, IDH is a price
maker, especially in Egypt where the Group currently con-
trols the largest network of branches amongst all private
sector players. Moreover, the Group faces no potential risk
of governmental price regulations in its home and largest
market, Egypt, which made up 84.6% of revenues in 2025.
Nevertheless, the potential re-emergence of foreign ex-
change volatility, regulatory amendments, or administra-
tive delays could affect the timing or efficiency of dividend
repatriation in the future.

regulated environment
The Group may face pricing pressures from several
third-party payers, including national health insurance,
syndicates, other governmental bodies, which are po-
tentially capable of adversely impacting Group revenue.
Pricing may also be restricted in cases by recommend-
ed or mandatory fees set by government ministries and
other authorities.
The risk may be more apparent in cases of increased in-
flationary pressures, particularly following the devalua-
tion of the Egyptian Pound and its subsequent effects.
The Group may also face pricing pressure from existing
competitors and new market entrants.

Cybersecurity risks
IDH controls a vast and growing database of confidential
data for its patient records; to this end, there is a cyber-
security risk for both data confidentiality and security.
Business continuity risks
Management concentration risk: IDH is dependent on
a highly experienced management team boasting dec-
ades of experience in their respective fields. The loss of
key members of IDH’s team could materially affect the
Company’s operations and business.
Business interruption: Virtually all aspects of the Groups
business use IT systems extensively. This includes test
and exam results reporting, billing, customer service,
logistics, and management of medical data. Similar-
ly, business interruption at one of the Groups larger
facilities could result in significant material losses and
reputational damage to IDH’s business. This could be a
result of natural disasters, fire, riots, or extended power
failures. The Group, therefore, depends on the continued
and uninterrupted performance of its systems.
The Company places top priority on its data security,
regularly conducting stress tests of its IT infrastructure to
confirm the effectiveness of its internal controls. Addition-
ally, its cybersecurity controls and protocols are regularly
updated to address potential shortcomings and remain
up-to-date and in full adherence with data security regula-
tions in its markets. In response to a cybersecurity incident
in 2023, IDH took immediate steps to assess and contain
the incident, launch an incident response plan, and engage
specialist support services. While the incident did not
involve patient data nor directly impact IDH’s operations,
all appropriate regulatory authorities were informed of the
incident, and the Company continues to conduct regular
tests of its systems to ensure their security, prioritising the
security of its patients’ data. It is important to note that no
cybersecurity incidents occurred during 2025.
IDH comprehends the importance of strengthening its
human capital to support its future growth plans. The
Company is therefore committed to expanding its senior
management team, under the experienced leadership of its
CEO, Dr. Hend El Sherbini, to add and maintain the talent
needed for the expansion of its footprint. In January 2024,
the Group welcomed on board Sherif El Zeiny as Board
Member, Vice President and Group Chief Financial Officer.
The Group has constituted an Executive Committee, led by
Dr. El Sherbini, and composed of head of departments. The
Executive Committee meets every second week.
The Group has in place a full disaster recovery plan,
with procedures and provisions for spares, redundant
power systems, and the use of mobile data systems as
alternatives to landlines, among multiple other factors.
To ensure its readiness, IDH performs disaster recovery
plan tests on a regular basis, with updates as well as
internal and external audits.
In Egypt and Jordan, to mitigate the impact of po-
tential branch closures on operations, the Group has
been ramping up its house call services which in 2025
contributed to c.20% of total revenue versus a pre-pan-
demic average of 9%. Moreover, the Groups important
role in conducting key testing in both Egypt and Jordan
makes it unlikely that branches would be closed even if
new restrictive measures were introduced.

Investor Relations
Officer’s Note
2025 was a year of strong financial de-
livery and enhanced capital markets
positioning for IDH. As we present
this year’s results, I am pleased to
report that the Group has translated
operational momentum into mean-
ingful value creation for shareholders,
supported by improved profitability,
stronger cash generation, and a clear-
er regional growth trajectory.
From an investor relations perspec-
tive, our focus throughout the year
has been twofold: first, to ensure
transparent and comprehensive
communication of our financial
performance; and second, to position
IDH’s equity story around its struc-
tural strengths — scalable margins,
diversified growth, and increasing
foreign currency earnings.
Tarek Yehia
Investor Relations Officer
For FY 2025, IDH reported consolidat-
ed revenues of EGP 7.9 billion, repre-
senting a 37% year-on-year increase.
Growth was driven by a combination
of 11% higher test volumes and a 24%
increase in average revenue per test,
reflecting both pricing discipline and
a progressively richer service mix.
The Group performed 43.5 million
tests and served 9.4 million patients
Presenting a Year of Strong
Financial Performance
during the year, with average tests per
patient rising to 4.6 — an important
indicator of deeper patient engage-
ment and successful cross-selling
across our expanding diagnostic
portfolio.
Importantly, top-line growth translat-
ed into significant operating leverage.
EBITDA increased 61% year-on-year
to EGP 2.7 billion, with the EBIT-
DA margin expanding to 34.9%. Net
profit reached EGP 1.3 billion, up 29%
year-on-year. On an normalised basis
— adjusting for non-recurring items
in 2025 and foreign exchange gains in
2024 — adjusted net profit increased
by 79%, underscoring the structural
improvement in the Groups cost base
and profitability profile.

From a market perspective, Egypt
remained the primary contributor to
consolidated performance, delivering
41% revenue growth and reinforcing
its role as the Groups cash-generating
engine. Jordan maintained stable mar-
gins within a regulated pricing envi-
ronment, Nigeria achieved a full-year
EBITDA turnaround, and Saudi Arabia
delivered strong revenue growth as it
continued its ramp-up phase.
These results reinforce the scalability
of IDH’s business model and the resil-
ience of its earnings profile, particu-
larly in an environment that, while
improving, continues to carry regional
and global uncertainties.

Major Shareholder Update
In our nine-months 2025 results update the Company announced a significant
shareholder development. Actis, through funds under its management holding
approximately 21.67% of IDH’s issued share capital, entered into a conditional
agreement to sell its entire shareholding to a special purpose vehicle controlled
by funds managed by Elliott Investment Management L.P. From an investor
relations standpoint, this development reflects the continued attractiveness of
IDH’s platform to global institutional investors.
TThe transaction was completed following receipt of all required regulatory
approvals on 31 March 2026. As per the TR-1 notification made on 8 April 2026,
Actis has disposed of its entire shareholding in the Company, and the shares
are now indirectly held and controlled by funds managed by Elliott Investment
Management L.P.
Strengthening the
Equity Story
Throughout 2025, we have worked to clearly articulate the key pillars underpin-
ning IDH’s long-term investment case:
A leading position in structurally attractive healthcare markets;
A high-margin, asset-light operating model with strong cash generation;
A disciplined regional expansion strategy aimed at increasing foreign cur-
rency revenues; and
A growing contribution from higher-value specialised diagnostics and radiol-
ogy services.
Investor engagement during the year reflected renewed interest in the health-
care sector and in IDH’s improving margin profile. We maintained active
dialogue with institutional investors through earnings calls and one-on-one
meetings, ensuring that the market had clear visibility on both our financial
performance and strategic priorities.
As a London Stock Exchange-listed company, we remain fully committed
to meeting the highest standards of disclosure and governance, providing
timely, accurate, and transparent communication in line with regulatory
requirements.
We continue
to monitor
developments
in line with
our regulatory
obligations and

with the market

Enhancing Shareholder
Value and Engagement
Tarek Yehia
Investor Relations Officer
The strength of the Group’s financial performance in 2025 enabled the resump-
tion of dividend distributions during the year, reflecting improved macroeco-
nomic stability and enhanced foreign exchange liquidity. This step reinforces
our commitment to disciplined capital allocation and shareholder returns,
while maintaining flexibility to fund regional expansion initiatives.
Looking ahead, our investor relations agenda will continue to centre on en-
hancing disclosure depth, strengthening engagement with both existing and
prospective investors, and ensuring alignment between our corporate strategy
and capital markets messaging. As IDH expands regionally, we believe the
equity story will continue to evolve toward greater diversification, improved
earnings quality, and reduced exposure to single-market risks.
In closing, 2025 has been a year in which operational progress, financial
delivery, and strategic clarity have come together to strengthen IDH’s invest-
ment proposition. We remain committed to maintaining open dialogue with
the investment community and to ensuring that the Company’s performance,
priorities, and long-term ambitions are communicated with transparency and
consistency.

Revenue and Cost Analysis
Consolidated Revenue
IDH continued to deliver strong top-
line momentum through the full year,
reporting revenue growth of 37% year-
on-year in FY 2025, with revenues
reaching EGP 7,855 million. Growth
was driven by a combination of higher
test volumes, which increased 11%
year-on-year, and a 24% increase
in average revenue per test (ARPT),
reflecting the full-year impact of stra-
tegic price adjustments alongside a
richer diagnostic mix. The continued
expansion of higher-value radiology
and specialised testing further sup-
ported value-led growth across the
Groups core markets.
On a quarterly basis, Q4 2025 reve-
nues reached EGP 2,074 million, up
29% year-on-year, while moderating
sequentially compared with Q3 2025,
reflecting a normalisation in growth

Revenues from the contract segment
reached EGP 5,257 million in FY 2025,
representing 42% year-on-year growth
compared to EGP 3,714 million in
FY 2024. Growth remained broad-
based, supported by a 28% increase in
average revenue per test and an 11%

insurers, and referral networks.
Average tests per patient in the
contract segment continued to trend
upward, reaching 4.8 tests per patient
in FY 2025, compared with 4.6 in
FY 2024, reflecting the effectiveness
of IDH’s loyalty programmes and
cross-selling initiatives in driving
deeper patient engagement and mul-
ti-test utilisation.

Revenue Analysis: Contribution by Geography
Egypt (84.6% of Group revenue in FY 2025)
IDH’s home and largest market, Egypt, delivered another
year of strong growth, with revenues increasing 41% year-
on-year to EGP 6,642 million in FY 2025, compared to
EGP 4,718 million in FY 2024. Performance was support-
ed by a 10% increase in tests performed alongside a 28%
rise in average revenue per test, reflecting the continued
impact of strategic price adjustments and a progressively
richer diagnostic mix, particularly within radiology and
specialised testing.
House Calls
IDH’s house-call service remained a core pillar of its
Egyptian operations throughout FY 2025, accounting
for approximately 20% of Egypt’s revenues, in line with
recent periods and well above pre-pandemic levels.
The service continues to benefit from strong consum-
er adoption, supported by enhanced digital booking
capabilities, efficient logistics, and the Groups nation-
wide footprint.
Al-Borg Scan and Radiotherapy
IDH’s radiology segment, comprising Al Borg Scan and the
newly added radiotherapy offering following the acquisi-
tion of Cairo Ray for Radiotherapy in June 2025, continued
to expand its contribution to the Groups Egyptian opera-
tions. Radiology and radiotherapy revenues reached EGP
310 million in FY 2025, up from EGP 224 million in FY
2024, representing year-on-year growth of 38%. Growth
was primarily value-driven, supported by a higher-value
service mix and improved monetisation, while volumes
were broadly stable on a full-year basis.
Wayak
Wayak, IDH’s digital health and e-pharmacy platform,
sustained its strong growth trajectory during FY 2025, with
revenues reaching EGP 34 million, up 53% year-on-year.
Growth was supported by a 19% increase in orders ful-
filled, which reached approximately 260 thousand orders
over the year, supported by continued optimisation of the
platforms delivery network and expanding cross-selling
through IDHs branch and digital ecosystem

Saudi Arabia (0.8% of Group revenue in FY 2025)
Biolab KSA, IDH’s newest market venture, recorded rev-

year-on-year increase compared to SAR 1.4 million in FY
2024. In Egyptian pound terms, revenues increased more
than threefold to EGP 65 million, reflecting the continued
ramp-up in operations and growing brand recognition
across the Kingdom.
Growth was supported by a sharp increase in patient
volumes as the network expanded, with the subsidiary
ending the year operating three branches, following the
inauguration of its third location in Riyadh during the year.
The Saudi market remains a key long-term growth driver
for IDH, underpinned by favourable demographics, rising
healthcare awareness, and a highly fragmented private
diagnostics sector offering significant consolidation
potential. Over the coming period, IDH plans to continue
expanding its footprint in the Kingdom in a disciplined
and value-accretive manner.
Sudan (0.03% of Group revenue in FY 2025)
In Sudan, operations remained severely constrained by the
ongoing conflict. One branch remained partially opera-

es continued to be closed indefinitely pending stabilisa-
tion of conditions in the country.
The Group generated SDG 109 million in revenues in FY
2025, compared with SDG 85.3 million in FY 2024. In Egyp-
tian pound terms, revenues amounted to EGP 2.3 million,
versus EGP 2.6 million last year, with the year-on-year de-
cline in EGP terms reflecting adverse FX movements rather
than underlying operational performance.

level reflects IDH’s centralised
procurement model, improved
inventory planning, and enhanced
supplier negotiations, which helped
cushion the impact of inflationary
pressures on input costs.
Direct wages and salaries,
including employee profit-sharing,
remained well controlled at EGP
1,445 million in FY 2025 or 18.4% of
revenue, broadly stable compared
with 18.6% in FY 2024. This reflects
a balance between continued
investment in talent to support

and ongoing efforts to optimise
staffing levels and productivity across
the network.

Gross Profit
IDH generated gross profit of EGP
3,353 million in FY 2025, represent-
ing a 54% year-on-year increase
compared with FY 2024. Gross profit
margin expanded to 42.7%, up from
38.1% last year, reflecting the com-
bined impact of strong revenue
growth, improved cost discipline,
and increasing scale across the
Groups operations.
The sustained expansion in gross
margin underscores the strength and
scalability of IDH’s operating model,
as well as its ability to translate higher
volumes and an improving service
mix into structurally stronger prof-
itability, even while continuing to
invest in geographic expansion and
enhanced diagnostic capabilities.
IDH’s SG&A expenses amounted to
EGP 1,180 million in FY 2025, repre-
senting a 22% increase year-on-year
compared with FY 2024. Despite the
increase in absolute terms, SG&A de-
clined as a proportion of consolidated
revenue to 15.0%, down from 16.9%
last year, reflecting continued operat-
ing leverage, disciplined cost man-
agement, and the scalability of the
Groups platform amid strong revenue
growth. The year-on-year movement
in SG&A was primarily driven by the
following factors:
Indirect wages and salaries reached

EBITDA
IDH reported EBITDA of EGP 2,738
million in FY 2025, representing a 61%
year-on-year increase compared with
EGP 1,697 million in FY 2024. The
Groups EBITDA margin expanded to
34.9%, up from 29.7% last year, driven
by lower COGS as a percentage of
revenue, tighter SG&A management
despite ongoing growth investments,
and the continued benefits of digital-
ization and procurement efficiencies.
Performance was further support-
ed by the sustained turnaround in
Nigeria, meaningful scale-up in Saudi
Arabia, and the consolidation of Cairo
Ray within the radiology platform.
Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes a
gain on bargain purchase of EGP 40.1
million related to Cairo Ray’s acqui-
sition June 2025, stood at EGP 2,698
million, reflecting a 34.3% adjusted
EBITDA margin, compared an adjust-
ed EBITDA of EGP 1,731 million in FY
2024 with a 30.3% margin.
EBITDA by Country
In Egypt, IDH generated EBITDA
of EGP 2,494 million in FY 2025, up
58% year-on-year from EGP 1,584
million in FY 2024. EBITDA margin
expanded to 37.6%, compared with
33.6% last year. The improvement
reflects stronger gross profitability,
improved cost absorption across a
larger branch base, and continued
SG&A optimisation.
In Jordan, Biolab reported EBITDA
of JOD 4.1 million in FY 2025, up 7%
year-on-year from JOD 3.9 million
in FY 2024. In EGP terms, EBITDA
recorded EGP 285 million in FY 2025,
compared with roughly EGP 253
million last year. EBITDA margin
in local currency terms recorded at
27.8%, reflecting disciplined cost
management despite promotional
pricing initiatives aimed at stimulat-
ing volume growth.
In Nigeria, Echo-Lab delivered a signif-
icant turnaround, reporting EBITDA
of NGN 193 million in FY 2025, com-
pared with an EBITDA loss of NGN
846 million in FY 2024. This equates to
approximately EGP 6 million, versus a
loss of approximately EGP 26 million
last year. EBITDA margin improved to
5.2%, compared with negative 31.1%
in FY 2024. The improvement reflects
continued pricing discipline, cost
rationalisation, and stabilising operat-
ing conditions.
In Saudi Arabia, Biolab KSA record-
ed EBITDA losses of SAR 3.5 million
in FY 2025, compared with SAR 9.3
million in FY 2024. This corresponds
to approximately EGP 46 million in
losses, versus roughly EGP 113 million
last year. The substantial reduction in
losses reflects strong revenue ramp-
up, improved utilisation of fixed costs,
and early-stage operating leverage as
the branch network expands.
Performance was
further supported
by the sustained
turnaround in
Nigeria, meaningful
scale-up in Saudi
Arabia, and the
consolidation of
Cairo Ray within the
radiology platform.

Interest Income/
Expense
IDH recorded interest income of EGP
223 million in FY 2025, up 54% from
EGP 145 million in FY 2024, reflecting
the Groups higher average cash bal-
ance during the year and continued
benefit from elevated deposit rates in
Egypt for much of the reporting peri-
od. While the Central Bank of Egypt
began easing policy rates during
the year, yields remained attractive
relative to historical levels, supporting
strong treasury income.

IDH’s interest-bearing debt as at 31 December 2025 included EGP 403 million (EGP 85 million as at 31 December 2024) related to its facility with Kuwait
Finance House (KFH) – formerly Ahli United Bank (AUB) (outstanding loan balances are excluding accrued interest for the period).
2024, representing a 20% year-on-
year rise. The increase was primarily
attributable to:
Interest on financial obligations
rising to EGP 133 million, up 18%
year-on-year, largely reflecting the
expansion of the branch network
and the associated lease liabilities
under IFRS 16.
Interest on borrowings increasing
significantly to EGP 52 million from
EGP 24 million last year, mainly
due to higher average debt balanc-
es following the loan drawdown
related to the acquisition of Cairo
Ray for Radiotherapy, as well as
elevated borrowing costs during
the year.
Bank charges rising to EGP 27
million from EGP 17 million, in line
with higher transaction volumes and
revenue growth across the Group.
It is important to note that IDH’s
interest-bearing debt
7
(excluding
accrued interest) increased during FY
2025 to reach EGP 427 million as at 31
December 2025, from EGP 265 million
at year-end 2024. The increase is due
to a loan withdrawal for the acquisi-
tion of Cairo Ray.

Foreign Exchange
IDH recorded a foreign exchange loss
of EGP 37 million in FY 2025, com-
pared with a foreign exchange gain of
EGP 303 million in FY 2024. The for-
eign exchange loss relates to intercom-
pany balances revaluation in entities
where the balance was in a currency
different to the functional currency.
Taxation
Tax expenses, including current and
deferred tax, amounted to EGP 817
million in FY 2025, compared with EGP
431 million in FY 2024. IDH’s effective
tax rate increased significantly versus
the same period of last year, reaching
39% in FY 2025 versus 30% last year.
The increase reflects a normalisation in
foreign exchange gain recorded during
the period. It is important to highlight
that there is no tax payable for IDHs
two holding-level companies.

ing a 29% year-on-year increase from
EGP 1,008 million in FY 2024. It is
worth noting that the prior year’s
bottom line benefited from signifi-
cant foreign exchange gains, which
created a high comparative base in FY
2024. The Groups net profit margin
stood at 16.6% in FY 2025, compared
with 17.6% last year, with the slight
contraction primarily reflecting the
absence of last year’s exceptional
FX gains and higher financing costs
associated with strategic investments
undertaken during the year.
Dividends
The Board of Directors has recom-
mended that a cash dividend of USD
4.9 million (USD 0.0085 per share),
should be paid to shareholders who
appear on the register as of 29 May
2026, with an ex-dividend date of 28
May 2026. The payment date for the
dividend will be 22 June 2026. Pro-
posed dividends for ordinary shares
are subject to the approval of the
Annual General Meeting (AGM) and
are not recognised as a liability as of
31 December 2025.
When adjusting for non-recurring
items in FY 2025 and foreign ex-
change gains in FY 2024, adjusted
net profit reached EGP 1,262 million
in FY 2025, up 79% year-on-year
from EGP 705 million in FY 2024.
The corresponding adjusted net
profit margin improved significantly
to 16.1%, compared with 12.3% last
year, underscoring the strength of
the Groups underlying operating
performance, margin expansion, and
improved cost structure.

(PPE)
IDH recorded PPE cost of EGP 3,900
million as at 31 December 2025, up
from the EGP 3,111 million as at
year-end 2024. The increase pri-
marily reflects the addition of new

TCFD Report
This report marks IDHs Fourth report
on the Task Force on Climate-related
Financial Disclosures (TCFD) frame-
work, reinforcing our commitment
to transparency and accountability
in climate-related governance, risk
management, and strategy.
As per our previous assessment of
the climate related risks and op-
portunities, we reaffirm that they
remain limited in the short to me-
dium term (the next five years), as a
services provider in the healthcare
sector. Nevertheless, we maintain a
proactive and forward-looking ap-
proach to identifying, assessing, and
managing potential climate-related
risks, while pursuing decarbonisa-
tion opportunities across our opera-
tions wherever feasible and aligning
with global best practices.
This year’s report marks a notable
advancement with the development
of our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions
inventory. Compared to the prior re-
porting period, the scope of coverage
has been broadened to include 726
branches in Egypt and 37 branches
in Jordan. IDH remains committed to
enhancing data accuracy and expand-
ing coverage in future assessments as
part of its broader carbon manage-
ment strategy.
Continuing our ESG Integration
Journey
During the reporting period, cer-
tain internal operational constraints
resulted in the temporary reprioritisa-
tion of resources, which led to minor
delays in achieving certain commit-
ments within the originally antic-
ipated timeframe. We are working
on realigning resources and ensure
continued progress in line with our
strategic sustainability objectives.
Despite the delays in achieving
certain commitments, we contin-
ue to advance our Decarbonisation
Plan and related strategic initiatives,
reinforcing our contribution to a more
sustainable future while safeguarding
business continuity and long-term
value creation. Our approach remains
consistent, focused on integrating
climate considerations into deci-
sion-making and operational practic-
es across the organisation.
As a fourth-time TCFD reporter, we
have maintained our collaboration
with external experts to further
enhance data quality, accuracy,
and completeness, building on the
progress achieved in prior reporting
cycles. However, areas of partial or
non-compliance with TCFD require-
ments remain primarily due to the
ongoing development of data avail-
ability limitations, and the phased
integration of climate-related con-
siderations into strategic and risk
management processes. These are
transparently outlined in the sections
that follow.
In this context, we have considered
our “comply or explain” obligation
under the Financial Conduct Au-
thority’s Listing Rule 9.8.6R (8) and
confirm that we have made disclo-
sures consistent with the TCFD Rec-
ommendations and Recommended

ing areas:
Strategy: Describing the impact of
climate-related risks/opportunities
on IDH’s business and strategy and
describing the resilience of this un-

Risk management: Describing
IDH’s processes for managing cli-
mate-related risks and the process
of how these, and their identifi-
cation, are integrated into IDH’s

pany’s risk management frame-
work, and formalised processes for
systematically identifying, assess-
ing, and integrating climate-related
risks into the broader enterprise

being refined. Enhancements are
currently underway to strengthen
governance structures and risk
identification methodologies.
Metrics and targets: Disclosing
the metrics used by IDH to assess
climate-related risks/opportunities
and disclosing the targets against
which IDH assesses its perfor-
mance.
Currently, limited climate-related
metrics are disclosed while the
Company continues to develop a
comprehensive GHG inventory and
additional climate-related targets.
Scope 3 emissions disclosure
Scope 3 emissions are not currently
included in IDH’s GHG inventory
as the Company is still developing
the data collection systems and
methodologies required to capture
emissions across its value chain.

Pillar 1: Governance
a) Describe the board’s oversight of
climate-related risks and opportu-
nities.
Compliant ESG governance at IDH is embedded within the Company’s
established oversight and management structures. Strategic
supervision of ESG matters remain with the Board’s Audit
Committee, which continues to oversee the direction and
implementation of the Company’s ESG strategy, including
climate-related considerations.
At the executive level, the Sustainability Steering Committee
continues to function as the primary management body sup-
porting ESG execution. The Committee operates under the
supervision of the Audit Committee and coordinates the im-
plementation of ESG-related initiatives across the organization.
Responsibility for the continuous management, monitoring,
and disclosure of ESG and climate-related matters is assigned
to the Investment Relations (IR) Department and carried out
under the authority of the IR Director.
The Audit Committee maintains active oversight of climate-re-
lated governance through structured engagement with the
Sustainability Steering Committee. Ongoing discussions focus
on the enhancement of ESG systems and processes, particularly
the rollout of a digital platform to support ESG data collection,
as well as the further integration of climate-related risks and
opportunities into the ESG strategy. While the digitalization
initiative was previously expected to be finalized by the end of
2024, delays in the platform procurement process and other
prioritized activities have resulted in a revised implementation
timeline extending to the end of 2027.

b) Describe management’s role in
assessing and managing climate-re-
lated risks and opportunities.
Compliant IDH’s ESG governance is supported by a Sustainability Steer-
ing Committee that continues to operate under the mandate
of the Chief Executive Officer and the Board of Directors. The
Committee brings together members with relevant expertise in
sustainability governance and plays a central role in overseeing
the Company’s ESG agenda, including the identification and
management of climate-related risks and opportunities. It also
provides strategic guidance on the development and execution
of IDH’s sustainability strategy and ensures alignment with
recognized international principles, including the UN Sustain-
able Development Goals and the Paris Agreement. As part of
its responsibilities, the Committee reviews and endorses the
Company’s annual sustainability reporting.
Looking ahead, IDH is progressing toward the integration of
the concepts of Environmental and Social Management Sys-
tem (ESMS) and the incorporation of ESG considerations into
its internal audit processes, through identifying and managing
environmental hazardous material, and assessing issues related
to employees and society health and wellbeing. This is already
included in the health and safety policy and in compliance with
national laws and regulations. Completion process is targeted
for end of 2027.
Responsibility for the day-to-day coordination, monitoring,
and disclosure of sustainability and climate-related matters

Pillar 2: Strategy
a) Describe the climate-related risks
and opportunities the organisation
has identified over the short, medi-
um, and long term.
Compliant IDH has assessed its exposure to physical and transition cli-
mate-related risks and determined that, due to its service-based
healthcare business model, climate-related risks and opportu-
nities are currently of low significance in the short to medium
term. The potential long-term significance of climate-related
risks will be assessed in future reporting periods.
Reputational risks associated with climate change continue to
be influenced primarily by the Groups overall ESG performance
and have been maintained at a low level, reflecting the Com-
pany’s ongoing ESG strategy, action plans, and commitment to
allocating sufficient and qualified human resources.
As previously disclosed in 2024, we committed to developing
our Sustainable Procurement Policy in 2025. Accordingly, we
are currently advancing the development of this policy. In the
meantime, our responsible supply chain practices remain in
place across all operations, supported by the Supplier Code
of Conduct, which continues to incorporate minimum ESG
requirements. IDH maintains a zero-tolerance approach toward
child labour, forced labour, discrimination, corruption, bribery,
and other unethical practices, and ensures that all expenditure
on direct materials is subject to contracts including defined
social and environmental responsibility obligations.
The Company reaffirms that climate-related risks and opportu-
nities continue to have a negligible impact on its business model
and strategy. Nevertheless, IDH recognizes that long-term phys-
ical climate risks may require additional strategic actions, which
will be informed by the climate scenario analysis scheduled for
completion in 2027, with findings to be disclosed in 2028.
Additionally, we will enhance our collaboration with local
diagnostic service providers by offering guidance and support to
help them meet international sustainability standards, building
upon the IFC criteria screenings initiated before 2023.

IDH continues to classify its short-term climate-related risks
and opportunities as low, with negligible residual impacts after
mitigation. The expected increase in electricity tariffs and fuel
prices, as well as evolving policy and climate disclosure require-
ments, remain the most relevant potential transition risks. These
risks continue to be managed through ongoing ESG governance,
sustainability reporting, GHG accounting, and the decarboniza-
tion plan, as established in prior reporting periods.
Energy and water consumption continue to represent less than
2% of operating costs, limiting exposure to resource-related
risks. Long-term physical risks, including rising sea levels and
extreme weather events, will continue to be monitored, as part
of future fully developed reporting and climate management
systems by the end of 2027.
The Company maintains its 2023–2030 Sustainability Strategy,
built on the four pillars of Sound Governance, Next Economy,
Flourishing Society, and Livable Planet. The deployment of
the digital ESG data management system remains in progress,
with full implementation now expected by Q1 2027, following
prior-year delays in procurement.

IDH’s decarbonisation plan outlines priority initiatives aimed at
improving operational efficiency and reducing greenhouse gas
emissions, demonstrating an ongoing commitment to environ-
mental stewardship and long-term sustainability.
IDH is implementing structured sustainability management
practices across key environmental areas. In terms of water
management, and in alignment with ISO 50001 and ISO 46001
principles, IDH is developing a formal system that includes de-
fined water management procedures and regular water efficien-
cy audits across its facilities. Targeted water conservation meas-
ures, such as the installation of low-flow fixtures, water-efficient
sanitary equipment, and retrofitting fixtures with aerators are
prioritised to reduce water consumption and related emissions.
For energy management, IDH is in the process of establishing
an Energy Management System (EnMS) aligned with ISO 50001
standards. Energy audits are conducted to identify efficiency
opportunities, including the deployment of LED lighting, smart
building management systems, and the assessment of renew-
able energy options. Greenhouse gas emissions are managed
through a comprehensive assessment of Scope 1, Scope 2, and
Scope 3 emissions, which are monitored using an internal track-
ing system to inform and support decarbonisation initiatives.
We are developing a formal waste management system, includ-
ing waste audits, the setting of reduction targets, and the imple-
mentation of policies to minimise material and sample waste
across laboratory operations.
IDH is implementing a recycling programme for paper, plas-
tics, glass, and metals, alongside initiatives encouraging the
use of reusable materials and the safe handling and disposal of
hazardous waste. IDH is also evaluating waste-to-energy solu-
tions as part of its broader approach to reducing environmental
impacts and improving resource efficiency.

Furthermore, IDH places a strong emphasis on sustainable
equipment and procurement practices. Scheduled maintenance
and inspections are conducted for laboratory and refrigeration
equipment to ensure efficient operation, in addition to explor-
ing retrofit or upgrade options to replace old equipment with
more energy-efficient models. Additionally, IDH optimises its
refrigerator utilisation to minimise its energy consumption and
installs Leak detection systems to mitigate refrigerant leaks. In
terms of procurement, our procurement decisions prioritise
sustainable equipment certified to recognised sustainability
standards.
Our Supply chain management strategy further supports cli-
mate risk mitigation by prioritising the sourcing of laboratory
supplies and consumables from environmentally responsible
suppliers. Purchasing decisions incorporate life-cycle consid-
erations, assessing environmental impacts from production
through to end-of-life disposal, to ensure alignment with IDH’s
long-term sustainability objectives.
To further embed sustainability considerations into its risk
management framework, IDH will develop a sustainable pro-
curement system within its supply chain management process-
es, once the sustainable procurement policy is approved. This
framework is intended to support structured engagement and
collaboration with suppliers that demonstrate a shared commit-
ment to sustainable practices. In addition, IDH encourages sup-
pliers to assess and disclose their environmental performance
using local or internationally recognised environmental rating
and reporting platforms.
Following our decarbonization plan, IDH has developed for-
ward-looking plans focused on sustainable mobility to encour-
age sustainable transportation practices. These include the
planned evaluation of alternative fleet options, such as electric
vehicles, through performance benchmarking studies designed
to identify technically and economically viable solutions. IDH
also intends to promote lower-carbon commuting behaviours
by encouraging the use of sustainable transport alternatives,
including carpooling, cycling, and public transportation. Incen-
tive mechanisms and internal awareness initiatives are planned
to support employee engagement and to contribute to the
reduction of commuting-related emissions.

With respect to physical asset management and long-term
resilience, IDH has outlined plans to enhance infrastructure
sustainability through the development of Green Building
Guidelines. These guidelines are intended to ensure that
sustainability principles are systematically incorporated into
future asset acquisitions, upgrades, or refurbishments. IDH
also plans to assess existing assets against recognised green
building certification frameworks, such as EDGE, and to evalu-
ate potential projects based on their return on investment and
feasibility of implementation. Based on these assessments, in-
itiatives will be prioritised and structured action plans will be
developed to support building certification and refurbishment
activities, where appropriate.

IDH continues to promote awareness and understanding of
sustainability and climate-related issues through targeted edu-
cational initiatives. These programmes are designed to increase
awareness of the environmental impacts associated with indi-
vidual behaviours and to reinforce the importance of collective
action in reducing carbon emissions, thereby supporting a
culture of environmental responsibility across the organisation.
In parallel, IDH delivers skills development and training work-
shops for employees, covering areas such as energy efficiency,
waste management, and sustainable operational practices.
These training activities are intended to equip staff with the
practical knowledge and competencies required to support and
contribute effectively to IDH’s decarbonisation objectives.
To further encourage employee participation and innovation,
IDH has established a Collaborative Innovation Hub that pro-
vides a structured platform for employees to share ideas, recom-
mendations, and examples of effective decarbonisation practic-
es. This initiative supports employee engagement and facilitates
a coordinated, organisation-wide approach to sustainability and
climate-related initiatives.

Integrated Diagnostics Holdings (IDH) has undertaken a carbon
footprint assessment according to the GHG protocol corporate
accounting and reporting standard covering Scope 1 and Scope
2 emissions for the years 2024 and 2025. This report outlines the
methodology, data limitations, and improvement areas identified
in the data collection process.
Organizational Boundaries
The organizational boundary defines the entities and operations
included within the carbon footprint assessment. IDH applies the
operational control approach, whereby emissions are accounted
for from all facilities and activities over which IDH has operational
control. The increase in the number of locations between 2024
and 2025 reflects expanded data coverage and improved reporting
completeness rather than structural expansion alone.

Methodology
Scope 1: Direct Emissions
Scope 1 emissions include direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emis-
sions from sources owned or controlled by IDH. The following
categories are considered:
1. Stationary Combustion
Emissions from diesel generators used in IDH facilities.
2. Mobile Combustion (vehicles under IDH’s operational
control)
Vehicles for organizational operations: company-owned, used
for administrative and operational activities.
Vehicles for house calls: Vehicles used to provide home
medical services.
Vehicles for courier services: Vehicles used for transporting
medical samples and other necessary materials.
Vehicles for commuting: Vehicles used for employee
commuting
3. Fugitive
Refrigerant Leaks: IDH has expanded its inventory coverage
in this reporting year by including refrigerant leakage. How-
ever, data collection still does not cover all operational sites.
IDH aims to further enhance its efforts to ensure full cover-
age in future assessments.

: Due to unavailability of data, this cate-
gory was excluded. However, IDH is committed to gathering
this data in the next reporting cycle.
Fertilizers: IDH does not use fertilizers in its operations.
Therefore, emissions from fertilizers are not included in this
assessment.
Scope 2: Indirect Emissions from Purchased Electricity and
Chilled water
Scope 2 emissions arise from the consumption of purchased
electricity and chilled water across IDHs network of facilities.
Calculation Methodology:
Data was missing for a few facilities. To estimate missing
electricity consumption, an extrapolation method was used
based on available variables as number of employees and
area.

Improved Data Quality/Methodology (II) Operational Changes
IDH Annual Report 2025
96
Recommended Disclosures Status Response
(I) Improved Data Quality/Reporting Methodology:
Electricity – Egypt: The slight increase in electricity emissions
reflects the growth in locations and improved data complete-
ness, with missing electricity data reduced from 20 locations
in 2024 to 8 locations in 2025, resulting in broader coverage.
Refrigerants - Jordan: In 2025, more detailed refrigerant data
was provided, including the quantities charged and the com-
position of refrigerant blends. This resulted in more accurate
fugitive emission calculations compared to 2024.
(II) Operational Change
Stationary Combustion - Egypt: Diesel generator emissions
decreased significantly in 2025. In 2024, a national initiative
required scheduled daily power cuts during the summer, in-
creasing reliance on generators. As this was not implemented
in 2025, generator usage and related emissions declined.
Mobile Combustion - Egypt: Vehicles for Operations’ emis-
sions increased slightly due to normal operational changes,
including the addition of new vehicles in 2025, partially offset-
ting vehicles that were sold or disposed of.
Refrigerants – Egypt: The reduction is attributed to the pro-
gressive replacement of high-failure legacy A/C units with
new equipment.
This report provides a basis for IDH’s ongoing efforts to enhance
the accuracy and completeness of its carbon footprint calcula-
tions. Future improvements will focus on comprehensive data
collection across all IDH facilities, while clearly distinguishing
between methodological refinements and genuine emission
reduction performance. Additionally, as part of its commitment
to enhancing GHG reporting, IDH has implemented a data
management system designed to facilitate the structured collec-
tion, management, and analysis of sustainability data across its
operations. This system will support the systematic collection
of Scope 3 emissions data and enable the company to progres-
sively expand its GHG inventory to include relevant Scope 3
categories. Through this platform, IDH aims to improve data
consistency, traceability, and monitoring of emissions across
its value chain. Reporting on Scope 3 emissions is expected to
commence in December 2027, subject to the availability and
quality of data from external stakeholders. IDH will continue
assessing potential risks and challenges associated with Scope
3 data collection, particularly those related to supplier engage-
ment and data availability, to ensure the most accurate and
reliable integration of Scope 3 emissions into future disclosures.

and memorable experiences for the children.
Youth and School Programmes
Biolab continues to expand support to local schools and
youth through educational initiatives, health awareness
visits, and youth sports programmes, including Little
Leagues, promoting physical activity, teamwork, and well-
ness among children and adolescents. Building on previous

tributing educational pamphlets, performing haemoglobin,
sugar, blood pressure, and BMI tests, and providing free or

year, demonstrating Biolabs strategy to combine CSR with
environmental responsibility and promote eco-friendly
practices throughout its activities.

Corporate Governance
Report
The Board of Directors (the “Board”) is
responsible for providing strong leader-
ship and effective decision making, safe-
guarding the process the interests of all
shareholders of Integrated Diagnostics
Holdings PLC (“IDH” or “the Compa-
ny”). During the period under review,
the Board has maintained an unwaver-
ing commitment to providing oversight
and guidance to senior management
as the Group continues to execute its
regional growth strategy.
Given the Company’s Equity Shares
(Transition) category listing on the Main
Market of the London Stock Exchange
(LSE), it is not required to comply with
the requirements of the 2024 UK Cor-
porate Governance Code (the “Code”)
as issued by the Financial Reporting
Council, or otherwise explain non-com-
pliance. During the year to 31 Decem-
ber 2025, the Board continued to work
towards a robust governance framework
where appropriate and applicable to
IDH’s circumstances.
IDH’s Senior Management and Board of
Directors have undertaken a gap analysis
of principles and provisions where IDH
does not currently comply and is devis-
ing an action plan to achieve compliance
in the foreseeable future, demonstrating
the Board’s commitment to ensuring the
highest standards of governance.
We are compliant with Financial Con-
duct Authority Disclosure Guidance and
Transparency Rules (DTR) subchapter
7.27.2 concerns corporate governance
standards that are included in the
Directors Report or, in this case, as part
of the Strategic Review (DTR 7.2.1). The
Company acknowledges that it is not
fully compliant with the independence
requirements of DTR 7.1 and the Code.
During the year, the Audit Committee
comprised a majority of non-executive
directors; however, only one member
was considered independent for the pur-
poses of the Code. As a result, the Com-
mittee did not meet the requirement
for an independent majority. The Board
keeps the composition and operation of
the Committee under regular review and
endeavours to take steps to strengthen
its independence. The Board remains
satisfied that, despite the independence
shortfall, the Audit Committee con-
tinued to discharge its responsibilities
effectively and safeguarded the integrity
of the Company’s financial reporting
processes during the year.
To that end, the Company has an Audit
Committee, Investment Committee, Re-
muneration Committee and Nomination
Committee. The Board may establish ad-
ditional committees as appropriate. This
Annual Report includes reports from the
Audit, Remuneration, and Nomination
Committees.
The Board is committed to implement-
ing best practices in corporate govern-
ance, calling on both the expertise of
individual Directors and that of outside
parties, including legal counsel and
global professional services firms.
Functioning of the Board
Details of the individual Directors’ attendance at Board meetings is shown on page
114. The Board has invested significant time discussing and evaluating the Groups
strategy and prospects for future growth, the outcome of which is presented in our
statement of strategy on page 46. We are confident that we have in place the right
strategy and management team to deliver shareholder returns in future.
Board Skills and Composition
Under its Articles of Association, the Group must have a minimum of two Di-
rectors. While there is no maximum number of Directors, the Board presently
comprises seven Board members.
As at 31 December 2025, our Board comprised four Non-Executive Directors,
two Executive Directors, and the Chair who was independent upon appoint-
ment. Together, the Directors offer IDH a mix of expertise in areas that include
strategy, finance, and medical diagnostics, as well as diverse experience in
Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. It also has relevant commercial and tech-

nical experience to help direct the Group as it delivers on its strategy in a very
technical field and across rapidly changing geographies. The Board and their
biographies are set out on pages 106 to 109 of this Annual Report.
Board appointments are made based on recommendations received from
the Nomination Committee. In making these appointments, the Nomination
Committee ensures that appointments and succession plans are made based
on merit as well as other objective criteria, whilst ensuring the Board maintains
the right balance of skills and knowledge needed to address its specific needs.
Due consideration is also given to diversity in the wider sense, and the benefits
that stem from having a diverse Board.
The relationship between Directors ensures that no individual, or group of
individuals, is able to dominate the decision-making process, independence of
thought is maintained, and no undue reliance is placed on any individual.
Each new Director is provided with a comprehensive induction programme.
The induction programmes are tailored to the individual Director, including
a suite of reference documents and briefings with the Leadership Team. Each
Director has received a detailed introduction to our business, how the Compa-
ny works and the market in which it operates.
Leadership
The Board continues to operate on the basis of a clear division of responsibil-
ities between the role of the Chair and that of the Group Chief Executive. The
Board continues to believe that this segregation of roles remains appropriate,
taking into account the size and structure of the Group.
As Chair, I ensure that the Board is effective in the execution of all aspects of its
role. The Group Chief Executive Officer, meanwhile, is responsible for manag-
ing the day-to-day running of the business. In this, she is supported by a senior
management team. The Group Chief Executive and I have a good working
relationship and discuss matters of Group strategy and performance on a reg-
ular basis. We also work together to ensure that Board meetings cover relevant
matters, including a quarterly review of financial and operational performance
(including key performance indicators), and in partnership with the Company
Secretary ensure that all Directors:
are kept advised of key developments;
receive accurate, timely, and clear information upon which to call in the
execution of their duties; and
actively participate in the decision-making process.
Board meeting agendas are reviewed and agreed upon in advance to ensure
each Board meeting is efficiently run, allowing all Directors to openly and con-
structively challenge the proposals made by the Groups senior management. I
am pleased to report that throughout the year, each Director has properly exer-
cised those powers with which they have been vested by the Groups Articles of
Association and relevant laws.
Together, the
Directors offer
IDH a world-
standard mix
of expertise in
areas that include
strategy, finance,
and medical
diagnostics, as
well as diverse
experience in
Europe, the
Middle East,
and Africa.

Purpose, culture and values
The Board has responsibility for the overall purpose, culture and values of the
Company, and their pursuit and development are at the core of each Board
meeting. The Board believes that there are three features in particular that will
allow the Company to capitalise on its chosen sector of operations: access to
capital, access to management and strong corporate governance. Our culture
and values are designed to strengthen all of these.
Purpose
IDH aims to provide investors with an opportunity to invest in a company lead-
ing provider of diagnostic services with operations in Egypt, Jordan, Nigeria,
Saudi Arabia, and Sudan. Its purpose is to elevate our communities’ health
welfare through the provision of world-class medical services.
Culture
The Board continued to focus on developing, monitoring and assessing cor-
porate culture and thinking about the ways in which our culture might serve
as a long-term differentiator, both in terms of strategy and of recruitment and
retention. We are proud of the culture that we built at IDH and recognise it is
important to clearly articulate this culture, drive it and ensure that it permeates
the entire business.
During the year, the Board looked closely at our mission, vision and values and
how we could reinforce through shaping the Company’s long-term strategy.
The Board is of the view that this will benefit all of the Company’s stakeholders.
We will continue with our plan to develop our management team so that they
become future leaders in their respective fields, through personal and profes-
sional development. The Chair and CEO met regularly with key management
personnel to share this vision and coordinate the Groups actions and priorities.
The Chair and CEO and IDH’s personnel regularly monitored Group compa-
nies’ performance, also reinforcing key messages. These messages are cascaded
down from the management team to the wider employees.

External Appointments
All Directors are expected to dedicate sufficient time to discharge their respon-
sibilities to IDH and this is a condition of accepting the role of Director. The
Board takes into consideration any external commitments that arise during the
year. Any new appointments are notified to the Chair in advance of accepting
the appointment and in each case a determination is made as to whether it will
impact the Board or give rise to a potential conflict of interest.
Related Party Transactions
Further information on related party transactions throughout the financial year

Board Meetings During 2025
Details on our scheduled Directors’ attendance at Board and committee
meetings (excluding ad hoc meetings) are shown in the table below. The Group
Company Secretary is a regular attendee at Board meetings. External present-
ers and members of the Leadership Team attend at the invitation of the Chair,
when required. In conjunction with the quarterly Board meetings, all Non-Ex-
ecutive Directors meet either by themselves, together with the CEO, or with
the entire Board. This time is usefully spent enabling Board members to build
rapport, share views, and consider issues impacting the company, resulting in
improved board dynamics and better decision-making.

In addition to the regularly scheduled
board meetings, several ad-hoc board
meetings were convened throughout
the year to address urgent matters and
support the organisation’s agility in
decision-making.
Board
Effectiveness
Having spent considerable time in
both formal meetings and in learn-
ing about the skills of our Directors
one-on-one — and drawing on my
past experience as a Director — I
am confident that the Board has the
skills, talent, and industry knowledge
it needs to effectively deliver the
Groups agreed strategy. The Board,
facilitated by the Company Secretary,
conducts regular internal evaluations
and considers the feedback from
each Director in setting the agenda
and strategic direction of the Com-
pany. In addition, training require-
ments for each Director are consid-
ered, and the Board receives regular
updates from the Company Secretary
or specific training from external le-
gal counsel or other external parties,
as deemed appropriate.
It is my considered judgement that
the Board receives from senior
management sufficiently detailed
budgets, forecasts, strategy propos-
als, reviews of the Groups financial
position and operating performance,
and annual and half yearly reports
to ensure that it may be effective.
This enables us to effectively ask
questions of senior management and
to hold discussions on the Groups
strategy and performance. In 2025,
senior management delivered regular
reports to the Board ahead of the
scheduled Board meetings.
The Group has obtained customary
directors’ and officers’ indemnity in-
surance, covering the Chair and the
Non-Executive Directors.

The Board has delegated several areas
of responsibility to its committees.

Investor
Relations
Engagement with shareholders con-
tinues to be a key function at both
the senior management and the
Board levels. Our investor relations
function held dozens of meetings
with current and potential investors
during the course of the year, in
addition to handling dozens of one-
on-one call requests and queries
throughout the year.
In 2025, we published three-month,
half-year, and nine-month results, in
addition to audited full-year results,
and further released a trading update
on performance at the nine-month
period. In 2026, we intend to contin-
ue publishing trading updates at the
three-month and nine-month peri-
od, in addition to the half-year and
full-year results which are released in
compliance with the DTR.
The Board communicates with
shareholders through public an-
nouncements disseminated via the
LSE, analyst briefings, roadshows,
and press interviews. Copies of public
announcements and financial results
are published on the Groups website,
along with a number of other investor
relations tools. The Board receives
regular updates from the senior
management on the views of major
shareholders and on milestones in
the investor relations programme. We
will continue throughout 2026 to grow
our investor relations programme
to ensure that our shareholders and
stakeholders remain informed of the
Groups strategy and ongoing finan-
cial and business performance.

The Board has established a framework to manage risks
effectively, which includes:
Identification and mitigation of risks at the operational
level by departmental heads.
Regular Board-level discussions on the Group’s major
business risks and the measures being implemented to
mitigate them.
Further details on the Groups principal risks and mit-
igation strategies are outlined on pages 52–59 of this
Annual Report.
Additionally, the Board has implemented a control

Group CFO and Vice President of Finance and Strategies,
an Executive Director of the Board, also participate. Addi-
tional senior management attendees include the Director
of Investor Relations, the Chief Internal Audit Director, and
the Company Secretary as needed.
The Committee also held private sessions with the external
auditors outside the audit timetable, ensuring independ-
ent discussions without senior management present. This
practice will continue. The external auditors confirmed
it was satisfied with the communication between all the
stakeholders. In addition, the Chair of the Committee has
maintained regular dialogue with the lead partner of the
external auditors during the period.
Roles and Duties of
the Audit Committee
The Committee plays a crucial role in assisting the Board
with financial oversight, including:
Reviewing the Groups annual and half-year financial
statements and quarterly results updates.
Assessing the Groups accounting policies, as well as
internal and external audits and controls.
Monitoring the scope and execution of the annual audit
and evaluating any non-audit work conducted by exter-
nal auditors.
Providing recommendations regarding the (re) appoint-
ment of external auditors.
Evaluating the effectiveness of internal audit, internal
controls, whistleblowing mechanisms, and fraud pre-
vention systems within the Group.
Ensuring the accuracy and comparability of sustain-

Other Activities of
the Audit Committee
At its meetings during the period under review, the Com-
mittee has also:
Monitored the integrity of other statements and an-
nouncements relating to its financial performance,
reviewing and challenging the methodology and assump-
tions used where necessary.
Reviewed the adequacy and security of the Groups pro-
cedures and controls for whistleblowing; the detection of
fraud and the prevention of bribery.
Considered and make recommendations to the Board on
the appointment, reappointment, removal or resignation
and remuneration of the external auditors.
Overseen the relationship with the Groups external
auditors including consideration of the objectivity and
independence of the external audit process.
Internal Audit
The Head of Internal Audit reports directly to the Commit-
tee on matters related to Internal Audit and has the oppor-
tunity to discuss matters with the Committee without other
members of management present. The Committee also
monitors the resources dedicated to Internal Audit as well
as the relevant qualifications and experience of the team.
Throughout the year, the Committee received regular
reports from Internal Audit on the progress against the
approved Internal Audit Plan and on the audits themselves,
including significant findings as well as the corrective
measures recommended to management. The Committee
also reviewed and monitored management’s responsive-
ness to the corrective measures and found that, in general,
management agreed to the recommendations where control
deficiencies were identified, and used them as a basis to im-
prove processes. Implementation of the remedial actions is
reviewed by Internal Audit and reported to the Committee.
The Committee also reviewed the Head of Internal Audit’s
proposals to enhance the effectiveness of the Internal Audit
function and to raise its profile across the Group.
The processes described above ensures that the effective-
ness of the controls is reviewed on an ongoing basis, and
the Committee are pleased to report that no significant
weaknesses in our risk management processes or internal
controls were identified this year.
Internal Audit
Effectiveness
The Committee fulfils its responsibility to review the effec-
tiveness of the Internal Audit department by considering,
challenging and agreeing the proposed annual audit plan. In
doing so, it ensures that the plan takes appropriate account
of the Committee’s and management’s assessment of areas
the present significant risk or where business processes might
be improved, updates to Group strategy, and changes in the
Groups business and the external environment, and findings
of the previous year. Because of this process, the Commit-
tee believes that the Internal Audit function is effective and
respected by management. The Committee has endorsed a
plan proposed by the Head of Internal Audit to conduct both
internal and external assessments of the Internal Audit func-
tion, aiming to ensure the quality and professionalism of the
Groups internal audit services

Significant Accounting and Financial
Judgement Matters Considered
Below is a summary of matters where the most material judgements have been made in relation to reporting in 2025:
Going concern
Acquisition of Cairo Ray
Fair, balanced and understandable reporting
On an annual basis, the Committee reviews management’s assessment of the Groups ability to continue as a
going concern of the Group. The Committee satisfied itself that the going concern basis adopted in the prepa-
ration of the Groups financial statements remains appropriate.
The going concern assessment was based on the Groups latest financial forecasts and operating assumptions,
including expected investment activity, realisations, overheads, financing cash flows and dividend expecta-
tions. In performing its review, the Committee considered the Groups liquidity position, available financing
facilities and forecast compliance with relevant covenants over the period under review.
Based on the review, the Committee concluded that the Group has a reasonable expectation of continuing
in operation and meeting its liabilities as they fall due over the relevant assessment periods. The Committee
therefore recommended the Going Concern assessment to the Board for approval.
The valuation of the Cairo Ray acquisition was a significant accounting judgement for the Committee during the
year. At the reporting date, the Committee received updates from management and from the external auditor re-
garding the approach that has been taken in assessing and auditing, respectively, the key estimates and judgments
in respect of its valuation. The Committee has discussed the transaction and all related aspects, including strategy,
valuation and accounting treatment in depth, which has allowed it to debate and challenge the approach taken. The
discussions included consideration of the macro-environment and relevant industry metrics where available.
Following this review, the Committee was satisfied that the valuations applied were reasonable and that the
related disclosures—including judgements and sensitivities—appropriately reflected the acquisition.
Under the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Board should establish arrangements to ensure the Annual
Report presents a fair, balanced and understandable assessment of the Groups position and prospects. It has
asked the Committee to support it in coming to that conclusion. In making this assessment, the Committee:
satisfied itself that there was a robust process of review and challenge at different levels within the Group to
ensure balance and consistency;
reviewed several drafts of the Annual Report and Financial Statements and reviewed the overall messages
and tone of the Annual Report and Financial Statements with the Chair and CEO, and the CFO; and
considered the reporting of the Groups performance, business model and strategy, the competitive landscape in
which it operates, the significant risks it faces, the progress made against its strategic objectives and the progress
made by, and changes in fair value of, its portfolio companies during the period, from management.
After consideration of all this information, the Committee was satisfied that, when taken as a whole, the An-
nual Report is fair, balanced and understandable, and provides the information necessary for shareholders to
assess the Groups performance, business model and strategy.

External Auditors
Independence and
Reappointment
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) served as the
Groups external auditors in 2025. Oversight of the rela-
tionship between the Group and the external auditors
is one of the Committee’s key responsibilities. PwC was
appointed by the Board as the statutory auditors in 2021,
following a competitive tender process, and was re-ap-
pointed by shareholders at the 2025 AGM. The Commit-
tee assessed PwC’s independence and concluded that it
remained unaffected throughout the year.
The Committee has an established framework for assess-
ing the effectiveness of the external audit process. This
includes:
considering reports from the auditors on the process
they have adopted to identify financial statements risks
and key areas of audit focus;
regular communications with the external auditors
(without management present) and management (with-
out the external auditors present);
a review of the final audit report, noting key areas of
auditors’ judgement and the reasoning behind the con-
clusions reached;
a review of the annual FRC Audit Quality Inspection
Report of the external auditors; and
review of the audit plan
The Committee concurred with management’s view that
there had been appropriate focus and challenge of the pri-
mary areas of audit risk and the Committee concluded that
the substantive and detailed approach taken by the auditor
swas entirely appropriate and effective.
The Committee was able to see first-hand how the auditors
challenged management on their assumptions used when
determining valuations at the year-end Committee meet-
ing, when PwC was in attendance. PwC utilised in-house
specialists to support its audit work of the Group and,
overall, the auditors’ risk-based approach drew on both
their knowledge of the business and the wider economic
and business environment.
As a result of lead audit partner rotation, the Committee
noted that this is the last fiscal year for David Teager to
serve as the audit partner. Daniel Brew will take over as
audit partner for the 2026 financial year.
The Committee has undertaken a formal assessment of
PwC’s independence, which included a review of a report
from PwC describing their arrangements to identify, report
and manage any conflicts of interest, and their policies and
procedures for maintaining independence and monitoring
compliance with relevant requirements; and the value of
non-audit services provided by PwC. PwC has reviewed its
own independence in line with the FRC’s Ethical Stand-
ards for auditors, other professional standards, and its own
ethical guideline standards. PwC has confirmed that they
believe they remained independent throughout the year
from the date of their re-appointment at the 2025 AGM,
within the meaning of the regulations on this matter and
in accordance with their professional standards. PwC has
provided the Committee with details of the safeguards in
place which include a culture of regular training, inter-
nal accountability, and independent review controls. The
Audit Committee reviewed the work completed by the ex-
ternal auditors. The Audit Committee confirms that during
2025, PwC audit fees amounted to EGP 80.5 million (2024:
EGP 72.1 million). No non-audit fees were paid during
2025 (2024: EGP 0).
Following a review of PwC’s performance and independ-
ence, the Committee recommended to the Board the re-ap-
pointment of PwC as the Groups external auditors for 2026.
A resolution for their reappointment will be presented to
shareholders at the upcoming Annual General Meeting.
Whilst not governed by the requirements of the Statutory
Audit Services Order 2014, issued by the Competition and
Markets Authority (“CMA Order”), a voluntary audit ten-
der and rotation in line with CMA Order will be carried out
at least every ten years. The Company will therefore carry
out a rotation and tender no later than in respect of the
financial year ending 2031.

recommends that the Board approve the financial state-
ments and present them to shareholders at the forthcom-
ing Annual General Meeting.

Role of the
Nomination
Committee
Regularly reviewing the structure,
size, and composition (including
the skills, knowledge, experience,
and diversity) of the Board and its
Committees and making recom-
mendations to the Board when
appropriate.
Leading the process for new ap-
pointments to the Board.

Directors.
Succession
Planning:
Board Level
The Committee reviewed the ten-
ure of the Non-Executive Directors,
recognising that the Chair and two
Non-Executive Directors had served
on the Board for ten years. The Com-
mittee also considered the tenure of
a third Non-Executive Director who
had served on the Board for ten years
but was never Independent as they
represent a major shareholder in the
Company. The Committee sought the
views of the Executive Directors, in
conjunction with the feedback provid-
ed in the annual Board effectiveness
review. It was considered that the
Group was at a key stage in its strate-
gic initiatives, which would be best
served with a stable and knowledgea-
ble Board and, as a result, the Com-
mittee recommended to the Board
that no changes would be proposed to
the current Board composition.
Succession
planning:
Senior
Management
During the year, the Committee
received detailed updates from the
HR function in respect of succession
planning at executive and senior
management level.
The Nomination Committee (the “Committee”) met

several key initiatives as well as continuing to review
succession planning on both the Board and senior
management levels, promoting diversity within its
ranks, and ensuring the appropriate size and structure
of the Board of Directors to ensure its effectiveness.

Diversity
The Committee recognises that in or-
der for the Board to discharge its fidu-
ciary duties, members should possess
a broad range of social, educational,
and professional backgrounds, as well
as bring along different skills, experi-
ences, and cognitive strengths.
By consistently monitoring the diversity
of our workplace with a strict focus on
merit, and while employing an objec-
tive set of criteria, we ensure our ability
to effectively compete in the world’s
increasingly diverse marketplace.
Our disclosures and statement on the
diversity of our Board, senior Board
positions, and executive manage-
ment in compliance with UK Listing
Rule UKLR 6.6.6 R(10) are set out
below. The Listing Rule sets the fol-
lowing targets:
At least 40% of the Board are women;
At least one of the senior Board
positions (Chair, Chief Executive
Officer (CEO), Senior Independent
Director (SID), or Chief Financial
Officer (CFO) is a woman; and
At least one member of the Board is
from a minority ethnic background
(which is defined by reference to
the categories recommended by
the Office of National Statistics
(ONS) as coming from a nonwhite
ethnic background).
The tables below show the data
required to be presented by the UK
Listing Rule 6 Annex 1. While the
Group is not currently in compliance
with the 40% of the Board are women
target, we believe that we currently
have the right people fulfilling these
executive roles, based on professional
background and experience.
While we endeavour to meet the UK
Listing Rules obligations, we believe
that the composition of the Board
should be driven by the specific needs
and skill gaps of the Group, and we
continuously review our position on
the matter. Meanwhile, the Board is
committed to improving diversity in
the workforce and will continue to
consider the matter as a key pillar in
its succession planning and recruit-
ment process.

Financial Instruments
The Groups principal financial instruments comprise cash balances, balances
with related parties, trade receivables and payables, and other payables and
receivables that arise in the normal course of business. The Group’s financial
instruments, risk management objectives, and policies are set out in Note 4 and
Note 6 to the Financial Statements.
Employees
The Group has two (2) Executive Directors, namely the Group Chief Executive,
Dr. Hend El Sherbini, and the Group Chief Financial Officer and Vice Presi-
dent of Finance and Strategies, Sherif El Zeiny, as identified in the Corporate
Governance section. Their biographical information appears on page 106 of
this Annual Report, and their compensation is reported in the Remuneration
Committee Report on page 125. IDH has service agreements with the Group
Chief Executive and with the Group Chief Financial Officer and Vice President
of Finance and Strategies. Dr. Hend El Sherbini leads the Company’s Executive
Committee, which also includes all heads of departments and meets every
second week to review and discuss performance, priorities, and upcoming
events in light of the Group’s strategic plans. In view of the Company’s regional
growth plans, IDH is committed to building out its senior management team
in preparation for a larger footprint. The Group and its subsidiaries employed
an average of 7,137 employees during 2025 (2024: 6,309) across Egypt, Jordan,
Sudan, Saudi Arabia, and Nigeria.
Creditor Payment Policy
Individual subsidiaries of the Group are responsible for agreeing on the terms
and conditions under which business transactions with their suppliers are con-
ducted. It is the Groups policy that payments to suppliers are made in accord-
ance with all relevant terms and conditions.
Going Concern
On 31 December 2025, the Group had cash and cash equivalent balance plus
treasury bills / deposits minus borrowing amounting to KEGP 1,662,459. The
Directors have considered a number of downside scenarios, including the most
severe but plausible scenario, for a period of 16 months from the signing of the fi-
nancial statements. We have conducted multiple sensitivity analysis to assess the
impact of inflationary pressures and potential currency evaluation for the next
16 months. We did not consider the Biolab put option since it is not plausible
that the option will be exercised refer to (note 24). We assume that dividends are
expected to be paid during the period for which going concern is being assessed
or those in respect of merger and acquisition ‘M&A’ activity. Under all of these
scenarios, there remains significant headroom from a liquidity and covenant
perspective. Therefore, the Directors believe the Group has the ability to meet its
liabilities as they fall due throughout the going concern period and the use of the
going concern basis in preparing the financial statements is appropriate.
IDH Annual Report 2025

Statement of Directors’
Responsibilities
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report and the financial
statements in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each
financial year. Under that law, the Directors have prepared the Group financial
statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union.
Under Company law, Directors must not approve the financial statements un-
less they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of
the Group and of the profit or loss of the Group for that period. In preparing the
financial statements, the Directors are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
state whether applicable IFRSs as adopted by the European Union have been
followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the
financial statements;
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and pru-
dent; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, unless it is in-
appropriate to presume that the Group will continue in business.
The Directors are responsible for safeguarding the Groups assets and, hence,
for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and
other irregularities.
The Directors are also responsible for keeping adequate accounting records
that are sufficient to show and explain the Groups transactions and disclose
with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Group and
enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Compa-
nies (Jersey) Law 1991.
The Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the Groups
website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissem-
ination of financial statements may differ from legislations in other jurisdictions.
Directors’ Confirmations
Each of the Directors, whose names and functions are listed in the Board of Directors
section of the Annual Report, confirms that, to the best of their knowledge:
the Group financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance
with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union, give a true and fair view of
the assets, liabilities, financial position, and profit of the Group; and
the Financial and Operational Review includes a fair review of the develop-
ment and performance of the business and the position of the Group, to-
gether with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties that it faces.
Strategic ReportIntroduction Performance Corporate Governance Financial Statements
137
In the case of each Director in office at the date the Directors’ Report is ap-
proved:
as far as the Director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which
the Groups auditors are unaware; and
they have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as a Director in
order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to
establish that the Group’s auditors are aware of that information.
We consider the Annual Report taken as a whole to be fair, balanced and
understandable, and provides the information necessary for shareholders to
assess the Company’s position and performance, business model and strategy.
Annual General
Meeting (AGM)
The Company will hold its next AGM on 19 May 2026 in London, UK. The Board
remains keen to encourage engagement with shareholders. To that end, the Di-
rectors would like to invite questions from shareholders in advance of and during
the AGM. Should shareholders wish to submit questions to the Board prior to the
deadline for proxy voting, they can do so, and these will be responded to on an
individual basis. In addition, the Board will offer shareholders the opportunity to
dial into the AGM, at which time they can also submit questions to the Board.
Details of the AGM are included in the Notice of Meeting that accompanies this
Annual Report, and which is available on our website.
At the AGM, all of the Groups Directors will retire and submit themselves for
re-election.
The outcome of the voting at the AGM will be announced by way of a Lon-
don Stock Exchange announcement, and full details will be published on the
Groups website shortly after the AGM.
Auditors
PwC have confirmed their willingness to act as the Company’s external auditors,
and a separate resolution will be proposed at the forthcoming AGM concerning
their re-appointment and to authorise the Board to agree their remuneration.
By order of the Board,

Independent auditors’ report
to the members of Integrated
Diagnostics Holdings plc
Report on the audit of the financial statements
Opinion
In our opinion, Integrated Diagnostics Holdings plc’s group financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the state of the groups affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of its profit and cash flows for the
year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted in the Europe-
an Union; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991.
We have audited the financial statements, included within the Annual Report, which comprise:
the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2025;
the consolidated income statement for the year then ended;
the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended;
the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended;
the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended; and
the notes to the financial statements, comprising material accounting policy information and other explanatory infor-
mation.
Our opinion is consistent with our reporting to the Audit Committee.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (“ISAs (UK)”) and applicable law.
Our responsibilities under ISAs (UK) are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial
statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to pro-
vide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We remained independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the
financial statements in the UK, which includes the FRC’s Ethical Standard, as applicable to listed public interest entities in
accordance with the requirements of the Crown Dependencies’ Audit Rules and Guidance for market-traded companies,
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, we declare that non-audit services prohibited by the FRC’s Ethical Standard were
not provided.
We have provided no non-audit services to the company or its controlled undertakings in the period under audit.

Our audit approach
Context
Integrated Diagnostics Holdings plc (“IDH”) is a company incorporated in Jersey with shares listed on the London Stock
Exchange (“LSE”). PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC UK”) are appointed to audit the consolidated financial statements
of IDH for the purposes of the requirements of the LSE and Jersey Law. All trading operations of IDH are outside of the UK
(generally in the Middle East and Africa). Therefore the role of PwC UK is predominantly that of a group auditor with other
PwC network firms acting as component auditors.
Overview
Audit scope
Components were considered to be individual legal entities within the group. Full scope audits were performed on 4 sig-
nificant components. The four components included the 3 main trading subsidiary companies in Egypt and the trading
subsidiary company in Jordan. These were selected due to their relative size.
Additional testing included audits of certain FSLIs of other components related to FSLIs to increase the level of audit
coverage obtained.
Procedures over the consolidation, central areas including impairment testing, The Annual Report and consolidated
financial statements were all performed by the group auditor.
Key audit matters
Accuracy of revenue recognised from customers
Fair value of assets acquired as part of a business combination
Materiality
Overall materiality: EGP 103,920,000 (2024: EGP 58,821,000) based on 5% of adjusted profit before tax which excludes
the impact of non-recurring items.
Performance materiality: EGP 77,940,000 (2024: EGP 44,115,750).
The scope of our audit
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the financial
statements.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in the auditors’ professional judgement, were of most significance in the audit
of the financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement
(whether or not due to fraud) identified by the auditors, including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit
strategy; the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters, and any
comments we make on the results of our procedures thereon, were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
IDH Annual Report 2025
142
This is not a complete list of all risks identified by our audit.
Fair value of assets acquired as part of a business combination is a new key audit matter this year. Otherwise, the key audit
matters below are consistent with last year.
Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Accuracy of revenue recognised from customers
The Group earns revenue from health diagnostics
related activities. There is an inherent risk around
the accuracy of revenue recorded from the servic-
es rendered, as revenue consists of a high volume
of transactions involving different products, ser-
vices and pricing mechanisms. Consequently, a
significant portion of our audit effort was directed
towards testing the accuracy of revenue. Refer to
the following notes to the consolidated financial
statements for further details: Note 4: Material
accounting policy information and other explan-
atory information Note 7: Revenue
We performed audit procedures over this area, which included a
combination of tests of controls and substantive procedures as de-
scribed below:
We obtained an understanding of the various significant reve-
nue streams and identified the relevant controls, IT systems, and
reports.
We assessed the Groups revenue accounting policies, including
any key judgments and estimates applied by management in con-
sideration of the requirements of IFRS 15.
We performed manual controls testing and substantive procedures,
to verify accuracy of revenue. This included testing the end-to-end
reconciliations of data records extracted from the source system to
the cash/credit balances ledger.
We used data analytic tools to substantiate the accuracy of the total
value of the revenue recorded utilising price lists as supporting
evidence.
We performed a reconciliation between revenue transactions and
cash collected and selected a sample of the revenue transactions
and tested their accuracy and validity to underlying source docu-
mentation.
We also assessed the adequacy of the Groups disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements with respect to revenue.
Based upon the procedures performed above we concluded that
sufficient and appropriate audit evidence was obtained in relation to
this risk.

Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Fair value of assets acquired as part of a business
combination
During the year ended 31 December 2025 the
Group purchased the assets held by Cairo Ray.
As part of the agreement the Group acquired the
fixed assets of the entity, as well as the customer
lists and staff. Management accounted for this
acquisition as a business combination under
IFRS 3. The fair value of the assets acquired was
determined by management with the support of
an expert. Refer to note 3. ii) for further details on
the acquisition.
We performed audit procedures in relation to the acquisition as de-
scribed below:
We reviewed the agreement for the purchase and confirmed it was
appropriate to account for the acquisition in line with IFRS 3.
We agreed the purchase price to bank statements and the consider-
ation within the agreement.
We audited the valuation of the physical assets recognised with the
support of internal experts.
We considered the value of comparable properties to assess the
value of the property calculated by management.
We obtained supporting evidence for the value of the equipment
based on current market prices and reviewed the calculation to
determine its current fair value based on its age and condition.
We considered management’s evaluation of whether any additional
assets ought to be recognised on the acquisition, such as customer
related intangibles and concurred with management’s view that no
amounts ought to be recognised.
We reviewed the calculation of the bargain gain and recognition of
this within the income statement.
Based upon the procedures performed above we concluded that sufficient
and appropriate audit evidence was obtained in relation to this risk.
How we tailored the audit scope
We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an opinion on the financial
statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the group, the accounting processes and controls, and the indus-
try in which it operates.
IDH is headquartered in Egypt, where the finance team manages the group operations and those of the Egyptian subsid-
iaries. Jordan is the largest non-Egyptian operation. There are other operations in Sudan, Nigeria and Saudi Arabia. All of
those operate under common systems and controls, but with separate local management and finance teams reporting into
the Egyptian head office team.
Components were considered to be individual legal entities within the group. Full scope audits were performed on 4
significant components. The four components included the 3 main trading subsidiary companies in Egypt and the trading
subsidiary company in Jordan. We also performed testing of large balances in other entities.
IDH Annual Report 2025
144
We visited the component team in Egypt given the significance of the operations in this territory as well as having regular
video calls with both the Egyptian and Jordan teams through the course of the audit.
For each individual Financial Statement Line Item (“FSLI”) we considered if sufficient coverage was obtained. Based upon
this final assessment no other areas were brought into the scope of our audit.
Analytical review procedures were performed for some of the entities within the group as well as enquiries of management
being performed. We also considered if any other risk criteria would result in additional areas being included within the
scope of our audit. We concluded that, based upon the coverage obtained and our understanding of the group, that no
further components or balances were included in our scope.
The impact of climate risk on our audit
As part of our audit we made enquiries of management to understand the extent of the potential impact of climate risk on
the groups financial statements, and we remained alert when performing our audit procedures for any indicators of the
impact of climate risk. Our procedures did not identify any material impact as a result of climate risk on the groups finan-
cial statements.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. We set certain quantitative thresholds for materi-
ality. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing
and extent of our audit procedures on the individual financial statement line items and disclosures and in evaluating the
effect of misstatements, both individually and in aggregate on the financial statements as a whole.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined materiality for the financial statements as a whole as follows:
Overall group materiality EGP 103,920,000 (2024: EGP 58,821,000).
How we determined it 5% of adjusted profit before tax which excludes the impact of non-recurring
items.
Rationale for benchmark applied We believe this benchmark is the key measure used by the shareholders and
management in assessing the performance of the group. It is widely accepted to
use a profit based benchmark when assessing materiality for listed groups.
For each component in the scope of our group audit, we allocated a materiality that is less than our overall group materiali-
ty. The range of materiality allocated across components was between EGP 66,253,200 and EGP 38,066,400. Certain compo-
nents were audited to a local statutory audit materiality that was also less than our overall group materiality.
Independent auditors’ report
to the members of Integrated
Diagnostics Holdings plc
Strategic ReportIntroduction Performance Corporate Governance Financial Statements
145
We use performance materiality to reduce to an appropriately low level the probability that the aggregate of uncorrected
and undetected misstatements exceeds overall materiality. Specifically, we use performance materiality in determining the
scope of our audit and the nature and extent of our testing of account balances, classes of transactions and disclosures, for
example in determining sample sizes. Our performance materiality was 75% (2024: 75%) of overall materiality, amounting
to EGP 77,940,000 (2024: EGP 44,115,750) for the group financial statements.
In determining the performance materiality, we considered a number of factors - the history of misstatements, risk assess-
ment and aggregation risk and the effectiveness of controls - and concluded that an amount at the upper end of our normal
range was appropriate.
We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them misstatements identified during our audit above EGP
5,196,000 (2024: EGP 2,941,050) as well as misstatements below that amount that, in our view, warranted reporting for qual-
itative reasons.
Conclusions relating to going concern
Our evaluation of the directors’ assessment of the groups ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting
included:
Discussing with management and those charged with governance the performance in 2025, the budgets for 2026 and
beyond and the performance in the 2026 financial year to date. These discussions included the impact of current events
on management’s forecasts and the key drivers behind any expected changes to the current level of performance;
Comparing the forecast profits and cashflows to the latest approved budgets and considering actual results achieved
in the year to date and sought evidence for any unexpected trends. We considered the level of underperformance that
would need to occur before there would be insufficient facilities.
Validating management’s assessment of available cash and debt facilities to bank confirmations and committed debt
facilities, including recalculating covenants and considering compliance with covenants or ability to repay borrowings if
required, based on management’s forecasts;
Considered the plausible but severe downsides included in management’s model for reasonableness based upon our
understanding of the group and the likelihood of significant one off payments arising, such as settlement of option pay-
ments;
Testing the accuracy of the model containing management’s forecasted future financial performance and cashflows;
Considering the macroeconomic environment of the territories in which the group operates in and the impact this
could have on performance and cash flows; and
Reviewing the disclosures made within the Annual Report for consistency with our audit work and compliance with the
respective legal and accounting requirements.
IDH Annual Report 2025
146
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions
that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the groups ability to continue as a going concern for a period
of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in
the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, this conclusion is not a guarantee as to the groups
ability to continue as a going concern.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant
sections of this report.
Reporting on other information
The other information comprises all of the information in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our
auditors’ report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements
does not cover the other information and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion or, any form of assurance there-
on.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so,
consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained
in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify an apparent material inconsistency or material
misstatement, we are required to perform procedures to conclude whether there is a material misstatement of the financial
statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that
there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report
based on these responsibilities.
Strategic report and Directors’ report
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit, the information given in the Strategic report and
Directors’ report for the year ended 31 December 2025 is consistent with the financial statements and has been prepared in
accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we did
not identify any material misstatements in the Strategic report and Directors’ report.
Responsibilities for the financial statements and the audit
Responsibilities of the directors for the financial statements
As explained more fully in the Statement of directors’ responsibilities, the directors are responsible for the preparation of
the financial statements in accordance with the applicable framework and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair
view. The directors are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of
financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Independent auditors’ report
to the members of Integrated
Diagnostics Holdings plc
Strategic ReportIntroduction Performance Corporate Governance Financial Statements
147
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the group’s ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless
the directors either intend to liquidate the group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assur-
ance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always
detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if,
individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on
the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line
with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The
extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.
Based on our understanding of the group and industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws
and regulations related to healthcare and employment legislation and the Listing Rules, and we considered the extent to
which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regu-
lations that have a direct impact on the financial statements such as taxation legislation and Companies (Jersey) Law 1991.
We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (includ-
ing the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to overstatement of revenues or
the financial performance/position of the group through inappropriate use of journal entries, manipulation of significant
accounting estimates or inappropriate recording of significant transactions. The group engagement team shared this risk
assessment with the component auditors so that they could include appropriate audit procedures in response to such risks
in their work. Audit procedures performed by the group engagement team and/or component auditors included:
Discussions with management and those charged with governance regarding any known or suspected instances of
fraud, non-compliance with laws and regulations or claims being made against the group;
Reviewing board minutes to ascertain the completeness of the above disclosures made to us;
Auditing key management estimates and judgements, including assessment of compliance with the accounting require-
ments and validity of the estimates (underlying data and accuracy of past assumptions);
Reviewing the disclosures within these consolidated financial statements for appropriateness based on the groups legal
and accounting requirements;
Agreeing significant transactions to underlying documentation and confirming accounting was appropriate; and
Testing journal entries made during the year using a risk-based target testing approach, focusing on those which en-
hanced revenue or financial performance and had unusual account combinations.
IDH Annual Report 2025
148
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of
non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial
statements. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one
resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresenta-
tions, or through collusion.
Our audit testing might include testing complete populations of certain transactions and balances, possibly using data au-
diting techniques. However, it typically involves selecting a limited number of items for testing, rather than testing complete
populations. We will often seek to target particular items for testing based on their size or risk characteristics. In other cases,
we will use audit sampling to enable us to draw a conclusion about the population from which the sample is selected.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the FRC’s website at: www.
frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditors’ report.

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries as at 31 Decem-
ber 2025. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the
investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
i. Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity where the Group is exposed to,
or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its
power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred
to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated.
Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset.
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by
the Group.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of in-
come statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of financial position respectively.
ii. Changes in ownership interests
The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity
owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the con-
trolling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount
of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve
within equity attributable to owners of the Group.
When the Group ceases to consolidate or equity account for an investment because of a loss of control, joint control or
significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in carrying amount
recognised in profit or loss. This fair value becomes the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting
for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in
other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related
assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to
profit or loss.
If the ownership interest in a joint venture or an associate is reduced but joint control or significant influence is retained,
only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit
or loss where appropriate.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether equity instru-
ments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the:
fair values of the assets transferred
liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business
equity interests issued by the Group
fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, and
fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary.
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with limited
exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest
in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s propor-
tionate share of the acquired entity’s net identifiable assets.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

The excess of the:
consideration transferred,
amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity, and
acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity over the fair value of the net identifiable
assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the
business acquired, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.
Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their
present value as at the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate, being the rate at
which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable terms and conditions.
Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial liability are
subsequently remeasured to fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equi-
ty interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date. Any gains or losses arising from such remeas-
urement are recognised in profit or loss.
On 19 June 2025 the Group acquired the assets related to Radiotherapy branch through its subsidiary Al Borg Laboratory
Company for total consideration of EGP 400 million. This has been treated as a business combination under IFRS 3 since
the assets acquired and agreement in place which transferred employees and customer lists are considered to constitute a
business. The assets acquired and the key inputs calculate the value these assets has been included below.
The acquisition has been completed with total consideration with EGP 400 million and a purchase price allocation study at
the date of the acquisition concluded total identified assets with EGP 440,120 thousand, and that resulted 40,120 thousand
as a bargain gain from the acquisition. The PPA performed by the company’s expert Prime Capital has identified fair value
for acquired assets as follows:
EGP’000
Building
*
243,404
Equipment
**
186,516
Auxiliary assets
10,200
Total fair value for the identified asset
440,120
Total consideration
400,000
Bargain gain from the acquisition
***
40,120
*
The market value of the building was assessed with the comparable method in accordance with the following considerations: the advantages of the location
and plot size, the quality of internal finishes, the medical nature of the facility, and a market survey of comparable units.
**
The market value of the Equipment was assessed by obtaining a purchase quotation from the manufacturer of the Equipment and adjusting it with the
technical depreciation rate and technical usability rate.
***
Bargain gain resulted from the acquisition recorded within the net other income at the income statement
The recognized bargain purchase gain resulted from acquiring the building at an amount below its fair value. Because The
property had already been fully fitted out to meet the operational requirements of radiation therapy services and to accom-
modate the specialized equipment installed within it. Consequently, the former owner’s ability to sell the asset was limited to
buyers operating in the same line of business., the Company also engaged in extensive negotiations to secure the acquisition
at the lowest possible price. These factors collectively led to the purchase consideration being lower than the fair value of the
acquired net assets, resulting in the recognition of a bargain purchase gain.
From the acquisition date until the end of the reporting period, the branch generated revenues of EGP 28,215 thousand and a
net profit of EGP 358 thousand. Had the acquisition been completed at the beginning of the financial year, Radiotherapy branch
would have contributed approximately EGP 51,997 thousand in revenues and EGP 1,177 thousand in net profit for the year.
The new carrying amount of fixed assets resulting from the purchase price allocation created a temporary difference between
the net book value of the assets recognized under IFRS 3 and their tax base as determined by the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA),
which recognize fixed assets based on their transaction cost. Consequently, a deferred tax liability has been recorded on the
temporary difference, amounting to EGP 9,027 thousand.

4. Basis of preparation
Statement of compliance
Integrated Diagnostics Holdings plc “IDH” or “the company” has been established according to the provisions of the Com-
panies (Jersey) law 1991 under No. 117257. The Company is listed entity on London stock exchange and was delisted from
the Egyptian stock exchange in September 2024. The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and the Companies
(Jersey) Law 1991.
Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except where adopted IFRS mandates
that fair value accounting is required which is related to financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
New standards and interpretations Adopted
The Group has applied the following amendments for the first time for their annual reporting period commencing 1 Janu-
ary 2025:
IAS 21 - Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency
The amendment listed above did not have any impact on current and prior years and not expected to affect future years.
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
The Group is currently assessing the likely impact of IFRS 18 -”Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Standards. It is due
for adoption for the year end 31 December 2027 and has not been early adopted. It is expected that this will have a material
impact on the financial statements and disclosure of items within the income statement in particular. Further disclosure
in relation to this shall be provided next year. There are no other new standards that are not yet adopted that the Group has
identified that are expected to have a material impact.
Going concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. On 31 December 2025, the Group
had cash and cash equivalent balance plus treasury bills / deposits minus borrowing amounting to KEGP 1,662,459. The
Directors have considered a number of downside scenarios, including the most severe but plausible scenario, for a period
of 16 months from the signing of the financial statements. We have conducted multiple sensitivity analysis to assess the
impact of inflationary pressures and potential currency evaluation for the next 16 months. We did not consider the Biolab
put option since it is not plausible that the option will be exercised refer to (note 24). We assume that dividends are expect-
ed to be paid during the period for which going concern is being assessed or those in respect of merger and acquisition
‘M&A’ activity. Under all of these scenarios, there remains significant headroom from a liquidity and covenant perspective.
Therefore, the Directors believe the Group has the ability to meet its liabilities as they fall due throughout the going concern
period and the use of the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements is appropriate.
Material accounting policy information and other explanatory information
The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all the years presented in these consolidated
financial statements.
a) Impairment of non-financial assets
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for
impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets
are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be
recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable
amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purpos-
es of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows
which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-finan-
cial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end
of each reporting period.
Strategic ReportIntroduction Performance Corporate Governance Financial Statements
161
b) Fair value measurement
The Group measures financial instruments such as non-derivative financial instruments and contingent consideration
assumed in a business combination at fair value at each balance sheet date.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair value
is categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is di-
rectly or indirectly observable.
Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is
unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group deter-
mines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the na-
ture, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy, as explained above.
The fair value less any estimated credit adjustments for financial assets and liabilities with maturity dates less than one
year is assumed to approximate their carrying value. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is es-
timated by discounting the future contracted cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group
for similar transactions.
c) Revenue recognition:
Revenue represents the value of medical diagnostic services rendered in the year and is stated net of discounts. The Group
has two types of customers: Walk-in patients who make payments upon completion of the service and patients served
under contracts who are invoiced and subject to standard credit terms. For patients under contracts, rates are agreed in
advance on a per-test, client-by-client basis based on the pricelists agreed within these contracts.
The following steps are considered for all types of patients:
1. Identification of the Contracts: written contracts are agreed between IDH and customers. The contracts stipulate the
duration, price per test and credit period.
2. Determining performance obligations are the diagnostics tests within the pathology, radiology services and Radiothera-
py. The performance obligation is achieved when the customer receives their test results, and so are recognised at point
in time.
3. Transaction price: Services provided by the Group are distinct in the contract, as the contract stipulates the series of
tests’ names/types to be conducted along with its distinct prices.
4. Allocation of price to performance obligations: Stand-alone selling price per test is stipulated in the contract. In case of
discounts, it is allocated proportionally to all of tests prices in the contract.
5. Revenue is being recorded after the satisfaction of the above mentioned conditions.
The Group considers whether it is the principal or the agent in each of its contractual arrangements. In line with IFRS 15
“Revenue from contracts” in assessing the appropriate treatment of each contract, factors that are considered include
which party is controlling the service being performed for the customer and bears the inventory risk. Where the Group
is largely controlling the service and bearing the inventory risk it is deemed to be the principal and the full consideration
received from the customer is recognised as revenue, with any amounts paid to third parties treated as cost of sales.
Customer loyalty program:
The Group operates a loyalty program where customers accumulate points for purchases made which entitle them to a
discount on future purchases. The points are valid for 12 months from the time they are awarded. The value of points to be
provided is based on the expectation of what level will be redeemed in the future before their expiration date. This amount
is netted against revenue earned and included as a contract liability and only recognised as revenue when the points are
then redeemed or have expired.
IDH Annual Report 2025

d) Income Taxes
Tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement except to
the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.
i. Current tax
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
ii. Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities
and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying
amounts in the consolidated financial statements.
However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill; deferred income
tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business
combination and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in
the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and
any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available
against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can
be utilised. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the
reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized, or the deferred income tax
liability is settled.
e) Foreign currency translation
i) Functional and presentation currency
Each of the Groups entities is using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the
functional currency’). The Groups consolidated financial statements are presented in Egyptian Pounds, being the reporting
currency of the main Egyptian trading subsidiaries within the Group and the primary economic environment in which the
Group operates.
ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the trans-
actions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions, and from the translation of
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates, are generally recognised in
profit or loss. They are deferred in equity if they relate to qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges
or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the statement of profit or loss, within finance
costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of profit or loss on a net basis within other
gains/(losses).
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the
date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported
as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as eq-
uities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss, and trans-
lation differences on non-monetary assets such as equities classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income
are recognised in other comprehensive income.

f) Hyperinflationary Economies
The financial statements of “SAMA Medical Laboratories Co. and AL-Mokhtabar Sudanese Egyptian Co.” report their
financial statements in the currency of a hyperinflationary economy. In accordance with IAS 29 financial reporting in
Hyperinflationary Economies, the financial statements of those subsidiaries were restated by applying the consumer price
index at closing rates in December 2025 Nil (2024 December Nil) before they were included in the consolidated financial
statements.
g) Property, plant and equipment
All property and equipment are stated at historical cost or fair value at acquisition, less accumulated depreciation. Histor-
ical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in
the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic
benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying
amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the consolidated statement
of income during the financial period in which they are incurred. Land is not depreciated.
Depreciation expense is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost or to their residual value over their
estimated useful lives, as follows:
Buildings
50 years
Medical, electric and information systems equipment
4-10 years
Leasehold improvements
4-5 years
Fixtures, fittings & vehicles
4-16 years
The assets useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater
than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the
carrying amount and are recognised within ‘Other (expenses)/income – net’ in the consolidated statement of income.
h) Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a
business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried
at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and the related expenditure is
reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there
is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an
intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected
useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to
modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The am-
ortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of income in the expense category
that is consistent with the function of the intangible assets. The Group amortises intangible assets with finite lives using the
straight-line method over the following periods:
- IT development and software 4-5 years
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually
or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefi-
nite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.
IDH Annual Report 2025
164
Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries and represents the excess of the consideration transferred over interest
in net fair value of the net identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree and the fair value of the
non-controlling interest in the acquire.
Goodwill is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill ac-
quired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash-generating units (CGUs), or groups of CGUs, that is
expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated
represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. The
impairment assessment is done on an annual basis.
Brand
Brand names acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date and have an indefinite
useful life.
The Group brand names are considered to have indefinite useful life as the Egyptian brands have been established in the
market for more than 40 years and the health care industry is very stable and continues to grow.
The brands are not expected to become obsolete and can expand into different countries and adjacent businesses, in addi-
tion, there is a sufficient ongoing marketing efforts to support the brands and this level of marketing effort is economically
reasonable and maintainable for the foreseeable future.
I) Financial instruments – initial recognition and subsequent measurement
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity in-
strument of another entity.
i. financial assets
Classification
The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
The Group classifies its investments in debt Instruments in the following measurement categories:
those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI or through income statement), and
those to be measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on the entity’s business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the
cash flows.
For investments in equity instrument measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in income statement
or OCI.
For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Group has made an
irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other com-
prehensive income (FVOCI).
Recognition and derecognition
According to the standard, purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade date, being the date on which
the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows
from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership.
Measurement
At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair
value, through profit or loss (FVPL) transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset.
Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.
Strategic ReportIntroduction Performance Corporate Governance Financial Statements
165
Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are
solely payment of principal and interest.
Debt instruments
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Groups business model for managing the asset and the cash
flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Group classifies its debt instru-
ments:
Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those cash flows represent solely pay-
ments of principal and interest, are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is includ-
ed in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised
directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses) together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impair-
ment losses are presented as a separate line item in the consolidated income statement.
FVOCI: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets
cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying
amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment losses, interest income and foreign exchange
gains and losses, which are recognised in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or
loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other gains/(losses). In-
terest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign
exchange gains and losses are presented in other gains/(losses), and impairment expenses are presented as separate
line item in the consolidated income statement.
FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt
investment that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognised in profit or loss and presented net within other gains/
(losses) in the period in which it arises. Management has assessed the underlying nature of the investments and desig-
nated upon investment that this should be treated as an investment held at fair value with movements going through the
income statement on the basis of the size of the investment and the reasons for making the investment.
Equity instruments
The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Groups management has elected to
present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains
and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be
recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Groups right to receive payments is established.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognised in other gains/(losses) in the statement of income as ap-
plicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported
separately from other changes in fair value.
Impairment
The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at
amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant in-
crease in credit risk. For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires
expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
Further disclosures relating to impairment of financial assets are also provided in the following notes:
Disclosures for significant estimates and assumptions
Note 5.2
Financial assets
Note 6
Trade receivables
Note 17
The Group uses an allowance matrix to measure the ECLs of trade receivables from individual customers, which comprise a
very large number of small balances.
IDH Annual Report 2025
166
Loss rates are calculated using a ‘roll rate’ method based on the probability of a receivable progressing through successive
stages of delinquency to write-off. Roll rates are calculated separately for exposures in different segments based on credit
risk characteristics, age of customer relationship.
Loss rates are based on actual credit loss experience over the past three years. These rates are multiplied by scalar factors
to reflect differences between economic conditions during the period over which the historical data has been collected,
current conditions and the Groups view of economic conditions over the expected lives of the receivables.
ii. Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified at FVTPL if it is
classified as held for trading, financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses including any
interest expenses are recognised in profit or loss.
Put options included in put option liabilities are carried at the present value of the redemption amount in accordance with
IAS 32 in regard to the guidance on put option on an entity’s own equity shares. The Group has written put options over the
equity of its (Bio Lab, Echo-Scan and Medical Health Development) subsidiaries. The option on exercise is initially recog-
nised at the present value of the redemption amount with a corresponding charge directly to equity. The charge to equity is
recognised separately within the put option reserve and this is in line with paragraph 23 of IFRS 10.
All of the Groups financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities carried at amortised cost using the effective interest
method. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments or hedge account for any transactions. Unless otherwise
indicated, the carrying amounts of the Groups financial liabilities are a reasonable approximation of their fair values.
The Groups financial liabilities include trade and other payables, put option liabilities, borrowings, and other financial
obligations.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an
existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an
existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original
liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the state-
ment of income.
iii. Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of financial
position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a
net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
j) Inventories
Raw materials are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct materials, direct labour and an
appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operat-
ing capacity. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs. Costs of purchased
inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the
ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
k) Cash and short-term deposits
Cash and short-term deposits in the statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term
deposits with original maturities of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term
deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Groups
cash management.

167
l) Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured
at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised
in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of
loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility
will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is
probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and
amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is dis-
charged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extin-
guished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities
assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liabili-
ty for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
m) Borrowing costs
General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qual-
ifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use
or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or
sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings, pending their expenditure on qual-
ifying assets, is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the
period in which they are incurred.
n) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is
probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable
estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed,
for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reim-
bursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit or loss net of any
reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when
appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of
time is recognised as a finance cost.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a
pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The
increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
o) Pensions and other post-employment benefits
A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The
Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to
pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. Obligations for contributions
to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an expense in the income statement in the periods during which
services are rendered by employees.
p) Segments
The Group has five operating segments based on geographical locations and these have been disclosed in note 7.
IDH Annual Report 2025

q) Leases as lessee (IFRS 16)
At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains,
a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for
consideration.
As a lessee
At commencement or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, along with one or more other lease or
non-lease components, the Group accounts for each lease component separately from the non-lease components. How-
ever, for the non-leases element of the underlying asset, the Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and
account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The Group allocates the consideration in the
contract to each lease component on the basis of its relative stand-alone price and the aggregate stand-alone price of the
non-lease components.
The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is
initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at
or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove
the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the
end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the end of the lease
term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group will exercise a purchase option. In that case the right-of-
use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as those
of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and
adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commence-
ment date, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate for the IFRS 16 calculations. This is set based upon the
interest rate attached to the Group’s financing and adjusted, where appropriate, for specific factors such as asset or
company risk premiums.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments.
variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the com-
mencement date.
amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee,
the exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise,
lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and
penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably certain not to terminate early.
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change
in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, there is a change in the Groups estimate of the amount
expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a
purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment.
When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the
right-of-use asset, to the extent that the right-of-use asset is reduced to nil, with any further adjustment required from the
remeasurement being recorded in profit or loss.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for lease of low-value assets and short-term
leases. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the
lease term.

5. Key judgments and critical accounting estimates
5.1. Judgement
Useful economic lives of Brands
Management have assessed that the brands within the Group which have a value have an indefinite life. This is based on
their strong history and existence in the market over a large number of years, in addition to the fact that these brands con-
tinue to grow and become more profitable. As the brands have been assigned an indefinite life then they are not amortised
and assessed for impairment on an annual basis.
Control over subsidiaries
The Group makes acquisitions that often see a non-controlling interest retained by the seller. The assessment of if the Group
has control of these acquisitions in order to consolidate is a critical judgement in these financial statements.
To determine whether it controls an investee an investor shall assess whether it has all the following:
a. Power over the investee.
b. Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee.
c. The ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns.
Consideration of the following factors assist in making that determination:
a. The purpose and design of the investee.
b. What the relevant activities are and how decisions about those activities are made.
c. Whether the rights of the investor give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities.
d. Whether the investor is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee.
e. Whether the investor has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investors returns.
The Group is able to consolidate its subsidiary, Echo-Scan in Nigeria, despite owning only 39.6% indirect ownership. This is
due to several reasons:
1. The Group exercises control over all intermediate entities that connect the parent company to Echo-Scan.
2. The Group has a technical service agreement in place, which grants them the authority to direct and oversee the opera-
tions of the subsidiaries in Nigeria.
Despite not having majority ownership, the Groups control over the intermediate entities and technical service agreement
allows them to exercise control in their financial statements.
5.2. Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have
a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial
year, are described below.
The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the consolidated financial statements were
prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market chang-
es or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when
they occur.
Impairment of intangible assets
The Group tests annually whether goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives have suffered any impairment.
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the
higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.
IDH Annual Report 2025
170
The recoverable amounts of cash generating units have been determined based on value in use. The value in use calcula-
tion is based on a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model.
The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next five years and do not include restructuring activities that the Group
is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset performance of the CGU being tested.
The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows
and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes. For more detailed assumptions refer to (note 14).
Valuation of tangible assets resulting from business combination
The group uses different valuation techniques for different types of tangible assets as the following:
Building:
This method determines fair value by examining recent sales prices of comparable medical units in the surrounding area
and applying adjustments for location, space, floor position, use (medical), and quality of finishes.
Comparable sales prices were based on price per square foot range. The average weighted price per square foot resulted
in a value of 243m EGP. If the lowest price per square foot was used this would have resulted in a value of EGP 211 m. If the
highest price per square foot had been used it would have resulted in a value of EGP 274 m.
Equipment:
The market value of the Equipment was assessed by obtaining a purchase quotation from the manufacturer of the Equip-
ment and adjusting it with the technical depreciation rate and technical usability rate based on the data of purchase of the
old owner and the condition of the equipment at the data of the acquisition.
If the technical depreciation rate had been increased by 10% and technical usability had been decreased by 10% then this
would have resulted in a 44m EGP reduction in the value of the equipment.
Impairment of financial assets
The loss allowances for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Group
uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Groups
history and existing market conditions, as well as forward-looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. Details of
the key assumptions and inputs used are disclosed in note 17.

The fair values of financial assets and liabilities are considered to be equivalent to their book value.
The fair values measurements for all the financial assets and liabilities have been categorized as Level 3, if its fair value can’t
be determined by using readily observable measures.
Echo-Scan put option (note 24) has been categorized as Level 3 as the fair value of the option is based on un-observable in-
puts using the best information available in the current circumstances, including the company’s own projection and taking
into account all the market assumptions that are reasonably available.
Financial instruments risk management objectives and policies
The Groups principal financial liabilities are trade and other payables, put option liabilities, borrowings and other finan-
cial liabilities. The Groups principal financial assets include trade and other receivables, financial assets at amortised cost,
financial asset at fair value and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.
The Group is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Groups overall risk management program focuses on
the unpredictability of markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Groups financial performance. The
Groups senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for
managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.
The board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such
as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, and credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative finan-
cial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.
- Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in
market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity
price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include borrowings and deposits.
The sensitivity analysis in the following sections relate to the position as at 31 December 2025 and 2024. The sensitivity
analysis has been prepared on the basis that the amount of net debt, the ratio of fixed to floating interest rates of the debt
and the proportion of financial instruments in foreign currencies are all constant.
The analysis excludes the impact of movements in market variables on provisions, and the non-financial assets and liabili-
ties of foreign operations. The following assumptions have been made in calculating the sensitivity analysis:
The sensitivity of the relevant consolidated income statement item is the effect of the assumed changes in respec-
tive market risks. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held at 31 December 2025 and 31
December 2024
- Interest rate risk
The Group is trying to minimize its interest rate exposure, especially in Egypt region, which has seen several interest rate
rises over the year. Minimising interest rate exposure has been achieved partially by entering into fixed-rate instruments.
Exposure to interest rate risk
The interest rate profile of the Groups interest-bearing financial instruments as reported to the management of the Group is
as follows:

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable-rate instruments
A reasonable possible change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased /(decreased)
profit or loss by the amounts EGP 3,805k (2024: EGP 675k). This analysis assumes that all other variables, remain constant.
- Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in
foreign exchange rates.
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures,
primarily with respect to the US Dollar, Sudanese Pound, the Jordanian Dinar, Nigerian Naira and Saudi Riyal. Foreign
exchange risk arises from the Groups operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency),
recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations. However, management aims to minimize open
positions in foreign currencies to the extent that is necessary to conduct its activities.
Management has set up a policy to require group companies to manage their foreign exchange risk against their functional
currency. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognised assets or liabilities are denomi-
nated in a currency that is not the entity’s functional currency.
At year end, major financial assets / (liabilities) denominated in foreign currencies were as follows:

At 31 December 2025, if the Egyptian Pound had weakened/strengthened by 10% against the US Dollar with all other vari-
ables held constant, total equity for the year would have increased/decreased by EGP (18.9m) (2024: EGP (17.7m), mainly
as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses and translation reserve on the translation of US dollar-denominated financial
assets and liabilities as at the financial position of 31 December 2025.
At 31 December 2025, if the Egyptian Pound had weakened / strengthened by 10% against the Jordanian Dinar with all
other variables held constant, total equity for the year would have increased/decreased by EGP (57m) (2024: EGP (51m),
mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses and translation reserve on translation of JOD -denominated financial
assets and liabilities as at the financial position of 31 December 2025.
- Price risk
The Groups exposure to equity securities price risk arises from investments held by the Group and classified in the balance
sheet as at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) (note 15).
- Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk a financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its
contractual obligations and it arises principally from under the Groups receivables. The Group is exposed to credit risk
from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and financial assets at amortised cost, such as term deposits and
treasury bills.
Credit risk is managed on a group basis, except for credit risk relating to accounts receivable balances. Each local entity is
responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery
terms and conditions are offered. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and
deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables
and committed transactions.
The Groups cash balance and financial assets at amortized cost are held in financial institutions as of 31 December 2025,
with 70% rated Caa1 for credit risk in Egypt, 8% rated at least Ba3 for credit risk in Jordan, 20% rated Aa2 for Bank Mashreq
Dubai, and 2% rated at least B3 for credit risk in Nigeria.
The Groups cash balance and financial assets at amortized cost are held in financial institutions as of 31 December 2024,
with 60% rated Caa1 for credit risk in Egypt, 10% rated at least Ba3 for credit risk in Jordan, 26% rated A3 for Bank Mashreq
Dubai, and 4% rated at least Caa1 for credit risk in Nigeria.
Trade receivables
The Groups exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, man-
agement also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including the default risk associ-
ated with the industry and country or region in which customers operate. Details of concentration of revenue are included
in the operating segment note (see Note 7).
IDH Annual Report 2025
174
The risk management committee has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed individually
for creditworthiness before the Groups standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered and credit limit
is set for each customer. The Groups review includes external ratings, if available, financial statements, industry informa-
tion and in some cases bank references. Receivable limits are established for each customer and reviewed quarterly. Any
receivable balance exceeding the set limit requires approval from the risk management committee. Outstanding customer
receivables are regularly monitored and the average general credit terms given to contract customers are 45 - 60 days.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large
number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The calcu-
lation is based on actual incurred historical data and expected future credit losses. The Group does not hold collateral as
security. That maximum exposure to credit risk is disclosed in note 17.
Cash and cash equivalents
Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Groups treasury department in accord-
ance with the Groups policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit
limits assigned to each counterparty. Counterparty credit limits are reviewed by the Groups Board of Directors on an
annual basis and may be updated throughout the year subject to approval of the Groups management. The limits are set to
minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through a counterparty’s potential failure to make
payments.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents disclosed in
Note 18.
- Liquidity risk
The Groups objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of finance
leases and loans.

Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by group finance. The Group
finance monitors rolling forecasts of the Groups liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational
needs. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Groups compliance with internal financial position ratio targets and, if
applicable external regulatory or legal requirements – for example, currency restrictions.
The Groups management retain cash balances in order to allow repayment of obligations in due dates, without taking into
account any unusual effects which it cannot be predicted such as natural disasters. All suppliers and creditors will be repaid
over a period not less 30 days from the date of the invoice or the date of the commitment.

7. Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating
decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing per-
formance of the operating segments has been identified as the steering committee that makes strategic decisions.
The preparation of the Groups consolidated financial statements in conformity with adopted IFRSs requires man-
agement to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses,
assets and liabilities.
The Group has five operating segments based on geographical location, with the Groups Chief Operating Decision
Maker (CODM) reviewing the internal management reports and KPIs of each geography. The CODM does not sepa-
rately review assets and liabilities of the Group by reportable segment.
The Group operates in five geographic areas, Egypt, Sudan, Jordan, Nigeria and Saudi Arabia. As a provider of med-
ical diagnostic services, IDH’s operations in Sudan are not subject to sanctions. The revenue split, adjusted EBITDA
split (being the key profit measure reviewed by CODM), impairment loss on trade receivables and net profit and loss
between the five regions is set out below.

8. Capital management
The Groups objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Groups ability to continue in order to provide re-
turns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the
cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders,
return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The repatriation of a declared dividend from Egyptian group entities are subject to regulation by Egyptian authorities. The
outcome of an Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders declaring a dividend is first certified by the General Authority for
Investment and Free Zones (GAFI).
Approval is subsequently transmitted to Misr for Central Clearing, Depository and Registry (MCDR) to distribute div-
idends to all shareholders, regardless of their domicile, following notification of shareholders via publication in one
national newspaper.
The Group monitors capital on the basis of the net debt to equity ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total
equity. Net debt is calculated as (short-term and long-term financial obligation plus short-term and long term borrowings)
less cash and cash equivalents and financial assets at amortised cost.

b) Reconciliation of effective tax rate
The company is a UK tax resident, and subject to UK taxation. Dividend income into the company is exempt from taxation
when received from a wholly controlled subsidiary, and costs incurred by the company are considered unlikely to be re-
coverable against future UK taxable profits and therefore form part of our unrecognised deferred tax assets. Our judgement
on tax residency has been made based on where we hold board meetings, our listing on the London Stock Exchange and
interactions with investors, and where our company secretarial function is physically based. Our external company secre-
tarial function manages a number of activities of our parent and its board. Board meetings are chaired in London and are
now largely taking place physically in London with the expectation of one physical board meeting a year in Cairo.

All movements in the deferred tax asset/liability in the year have been recognised in the profit or loss account.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets have been calculated based on the enacted tax rate at 31 December 2025 for the country
the liabilities and assets has arisen. The enacted tax rate in Egypt is 22.5% (2024: 22.5%), Jordan 21% (2024: 21%), Sudan 30%
(2024: 30%) and Nigeria 30% (2024: 30%).
* Undistributed reserves from group subsidiaries
The Groups dividend policy is to distribute any excess cash after taking into consideration all business cash requirements
and potential acquisition considerations. The expectation is to distribute profits held within subsidiaries of the Group in
the near foreseeable future. During 2015 the Egyptian Government imposed a tax on dividends at a rate of 5% of dividends
distributed from Egyptian entities. On September 30, 2020, the Egyptian government issued a law to increase the tax rate
to 10%. As a result, a deferred tax liability has been recorded for the future tax expected to be incurred from undistributed
reserves held within the Group which will be taxed under the new legislation imposed and were as follows:

Unrecognized deferred tax assets
The following items make up unrecognised deferred tax assets. The local tax law does not permit deductions for provisions
against income tax until the provision becomes realised. No deferred tax asset has been recognised on tax losses for both
Echo-Scan Nigeria and Wayak Egypt due to the uncertainty of the available future taxable profit, which the Group can use
the benefits therefrom.

11. Earnings per share (EPS)
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weight-
ed average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. There are no dilutive effects from ordinary share and no
adjustment required to weighted-average numbers of ordinary shares.
The following table reflects the income and share data used in the basic and diluted EPS computation:

Earnings per diluted share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares by the effects resulting from
all the ordinary potential shares that causes this dilution.
The Company has no potentially dilutive shares as of the 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024, therefore; the earnings
per diluted share are equivalent to basic earnings per share.

The above assumptions are based on historical performance, macroeconomic conditions and forecasted performance for
each CGU.
Management have compared the recoverable amount of CGUs to the carrying value of CGUs. The recoverable amount is the
higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal. In the exercise performed and the assumptions noted above the
value in use was noted to be higher than the fair value less costs of disposal.
During 2025, management has conducted a business plan projection with the assumptions above used to calculate the net
present value of future cashflows to determine recoverable amount. The projected cash flows from 2026- 2030 have been
based on detailed forecasts prepared by management for each CGU and a terminal value thereafter. Management have
used experience and historical trends achieved to determine the key growth rate and margin assumptions set out above.
The terminal value growth rate applied is not considered to exceed the average growth rate for the industry and geographic
locations of the CGUs.
This recoverable amount is then compared to the carrying value of the asset as recorded in the books and records of IDH
plc. The WACC has been used considering the risks of each CGU. These risks include country risk, currency risk as well as
the beta factor relating to the CGU and how it performs relative to the market.
The headroom between carrying value and recoverable amount is as follows:

Echo-Scan, and our other businesses are loss making but carry no goodwill or intangible assets, and thus where there are
indicators of impairment risk this would relate to the specific recoverability of their net assets, which is largely Property
Plant and Equipment in nature. Management have assessed these and consider either the values in question to not be sig-
nificant, or that the carrying values are supported based on realisable value or forecast future profits and cashflow.

As a sensitivity analysis, management has also considered multiple Scenario to reflect additional risk. This did not result in
an impairment under any of the CGUs that had a recoverable amount based on value in use as the following:

* On August 17, 2017, Al Makhbariyoun Al Arab (seller) has signed IT purchase Agreement with JSC Mega Lab (Buyer) to transfer and install the Laboratory
Information Management System (LIMS) for a purchase price amounted to USD 400,000, which will be in the form of 10% equity stake in JSC Mega Lab.
In case the valuation of the project is less or more than USD 4,000,000, the seller stake will be adjusted accordingly, in a way that the seller equity stake shall
not fall below 5% of JSC Mega Lab.
Ownership percentage in JSC Mega Lab at the transaction date on April 8, 2019, and as of December 31, 2025, was
8.25%.
On April 8, 2019, Al Mokhabariyoun Al Arab (Biolab) signed a Shareholder Agreement with JSC Mega Lab and JSC Geor-
gia Healthcare Group (CHG), which meant that BioLab had a put option, exercisable within 12 months immediately
after the expiration of five (5) year period from the signing date. This put option allowed BioLabs stake to be bought out
by CHG at a price of the equity value of BioLab Shares/total stake (being USD 400,000) plus 15% annual IRR (including
preceding 5 Financial years). This option was not subsequently exercised, and therefore lapsed on April 8 2025. From
this date, the agreement stated that CHG have a call option to purchase Biolabs shares at a price equivalent to the equity
value of Biolabs stake (being USD 400,000) plus the higher of 20% annual IRR or 6X EV/EBITDA (of the financial year
immediately preceding the call option exercise date).

The Group allocates each exposure to a credit risk grade based on data that is determined to be predictive of the risk of loss
(historical customer’s collection, Customers’ contracts conditions) and applying experienced credit judgement. Credit risk
grades are defined using qualitative and quantitative factors that are indicative of the risk of default.
Expected credit loss assessment is based on the following:
1. The customer list was divided into 9 sectors,
2. Each sector was divided according to customers aging,
3. Each sector was studied according to the historical events of each sector. According to the study conducted, the expect-
ed default rate was derived from each of the aforementioned period,
4. General economic conditions.
The results of the quarterly assessment will increase/decrease the percentage allocated to each period. Balances overdue
by at least one year are fully provided for. On a quarterly basis, IDH revises its forward-looking estimates and the general
economic conditions to assess the expected credit loss.
IDH Annual Report 2025

Impairment of trade and notes receivables
The requirement for impairment of trade receivables is made through monitoring the debts aging and reviewing customer’s
credit position and their ability to make payment as they fall due. An impairment is recorded against receivables for the
irrecoverable amount estimated by management. At the year end, the provision for impairment of trade receivables was
EGP 241,426k (31 December 2024: EGP 197,913k). This is lower than the amount of EGP 251,988k (31 December 2024: EGP
208,476k) as that amount also includes provision on other receivables.
A reasonable possible change of 100 basis points in the expected credit loss at the reporting date would have increased (de-
creased) profit or loss by the amount of EGP 12,379k. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.

vidual customers for the nine segments at:

Other Reserves
The capital reserve was created when the Groups previous parent company, Integrated Diagnostics Holdings LLC – IDH
(Caymans) arranged its acquisition by Integrated Diagnostics Holdings PLC, a new legal parent. The balances arising repre-
sent the difference between the value of the equity structure of the previous and new parent companies.
During 2024, The capital reserve was impacted by the reduction of put option in Medical Health Development Company
(“MHD”) after acquiring the stake previously held by Izhoor Holding Medical Company LLC (“Izhoor”), therefore the put
option is no longer needed.
IDH Annual Report 2025
190
During 2024, The capital redemption reserve was impacted by the purchasing and cancelling of treasury stocks based on
approval by shareholders through an Extraordinary general meeting, The shares were purchased at an average price of EGP
20.05 per share for 18,673,728 shares.
Legal reserves
Legal reserve was formed based on the legal requirements of the Egyptian law governing the Egyptian subsidiaries. Ac-
cording to the Egyptian subsidiaries’ article of association 5% (at least) of the annual net profit is set aside to from a legal
reserve. The transfer to legal reserve ceases once this reserve reaches 50% of the entity’s issued capital. If the reserve falls
below the defined level, then the entity is required to resume forming it by setting aside 5% of the annual net profits until it
reaches 50% of the issued share capital.
Put option reserve
Through acquisitions made within the Group, put option arrangements have been entered into to purchase the remaining
equity interests in subsidiaries from the vendors at a subsequent date. At acquisition date an initial put option liability is
recognised and a corresponding entry recognised within the put option reserve. After initial recognition the accounting
policy for put options is to recognise all changes in the carrying value of the liability within put option reserve. When the
put option is exercised by the vendors the amount recognised within the reserve will be reversed.
Translation reserve
The foreign currency translation reserve is used to record exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial
statements of foreign subsidiaries.

Egyptian Government Training Fund for employees
According to Article 134 of the Labor Law for Vocational Guidance and Training issued by the Egyptian government in 2003,
Al-Borg, Almokhtabar and Integrated Medical Analysis Company shall comply with the requirements stipulated in this law
to provide 1% of net profits each year in the training fund. During 2025 further legislation was published according to Arti-
cle 2 which confirmed that the company would not be obligated to any liability relating to labour law.
End Of Service
As per Article 88 of the Labor Law in Saudi Arabia, in the event of the termination of an employee’s service, the company
is required to settle the wages owed within one week. Conversely, if the employee terminates the contract, the company is
obligated to fulfil their rights within two weeks.
Legal claims provision
The amount comprises the gross provision in respect of legal claims brought against the Group. Management’s opinion, af-
ter taking appropriate legal advice, is that the outcome of these legal claims will not give rise to any significant loss beyond
the amounts provided as at 31 December 2025.

Put option - Al Makhbariyoun Al Arab
The accounting policy for put options after initial recognition is to recognise all changes in the carrying value of the put
liability within equity.
Through the historical acquisitions of Al Makhbariyoun Al Arab the entered into separate put option arrangements to pur-
chase the remaining equity interests from the vendors at a subsequent date. At acquisition a put option liability has been
recognised for the net present value for the exercise price of the option.
The options is calculated at seven times EBITDA of the last 12 months minus Net Debt, it’s exercisable in whole from the
fifth anniversary of completion of the original purchase agreement, which fell due in June 2016. The vendor has not exer-
cised this right at 31 December 2025. It is important to note that the put option liability is treated as current as it could be
exercised at any time by the NCI. However, based on discussions and ongoing business relationship, there is no expectation
that this will happen in next 21 months. The option has no expiry date.
Put option - Eagle Eye Echo-Scan

26. Financial obligations
The Group leases property and equipment. Property leases include branches, warehouse, parking and administration
buildings. The leases typically run for average period from 5-10 years, with an option to renew the lease after that date.
Lease payments are renegotiated with renovation after the end of the lease term to reflect market rentals. For certain leases,
the Group is restricted from entering into any sub-lease arrangements. The property leases were entered into as combined
leases of land and buildings.
If the minimum annual commitment payments are met over the agreement period ownership of the equipment supplied
will legally transfer to the IDH. The finance asset and liability has been recognised at an amount equal to the fair value of
the underlying equipment. This is based on the current cost price of the equipment supplied provided by the suppliers of
the agreement. The averaged implicit interest rate of finance obligation has been estimated to be 10.3%. The equipment is
being depreciated based on units of production method as this most closely reflects the consumption of the benefits from
the equipment.
