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 Group’s

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.

model, which continues to drive

efficiency and support disciplined

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

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

Group’s 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 Group’s

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.

Dr. Hend El-Sherbini

CEO

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

specialised diagnostics.

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 IDH’s 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.

The progress achieved during 2025 reflects

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 Group’s 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%

of our branch network and a progressively richer

service mix, including radiology, radiotherapy, and

specialised diagnostics.

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-

tions and capital requirements evolve.

As we assess potential GCC opportu-

nities, capital discipline will remain

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

discipline will remain paramount. We will pursue

expansion only where expected returns justify the

associated risks and where transactions strengthen

our competitive position.

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, IDH’s 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

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

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 Biolab’s 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.

forecast to remain low and stable,

underpinned by the Central Bank

of Jordan’s firm commitment to

monetary discipline and the Dinar’s

stability against the US Dollar, helping

preserve purchasing power and mac-

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 IDH’s

experience in Egypt in earlier dec-

ades, Nigeria’s 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 Group’s strategy of

capturing share from informal provid-

ers while building a scalable, profes-

sionally managed diagnostics plat-

form in one of Africa’s most attractive

long-term healthcare markets.

Key Macroeconomic

Trends

In 2025, Nigeria’s 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 Kingdom’s

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 Kingdom’s

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 Arabia’s

emerging private diagnostics sector.

Key Macroeconomic

Trends

Throughout 2025, Saudi Arabia’s

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 Kingdom’s

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 Riyal’s 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 Kingdom’s 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.

Outlook

Looking forward, the International

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 Kingdom’s 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-

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-

tem’s 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.

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, IDH’s largest market, the

CAP-accredited Mega Lab serves as

the Group’s 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

handled by the Group’s seven B-Labs

(“Spokes”), which also help manage

workflow into the Mega Lab, while 621

C-Labs (“Spikes”) operate primarily as

collection points, significantly extend-

ing the Group’s reach and supporting

continued growth in its patient base.

To complement its core laboratory

operations, IDH launched a radiology

platform in 2018, broadening its ser-

vice offering and enhancing patient

retention through a one-stop diagnos-

tic experience. Together, this plug-

and-play model enables the Group to

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

renewable agreements

with pre-agreed pricing

and revenue per patient, particularly

amid inflationary environments.

These initiatives are further bolstered

by the Group’s loyalty programme,

launched in 2021, which has delivered

a steady increase in testing intensi-

ty. Average tests per patient rose to a

record 4.6 in 2025, up from 4.4 in 2024

and 4.2 in 2023. In addition, IDH con-

business model reinforc-

ing market leadership

IDH deploys an asset-light, scalable

operating model that enables rapid,

capital-efficient growth while re-

inforcing its market-leading posi-

tions in its home and core markets.

This foundation is strengthened by

internationally accredited facilities,

strategic supplier partnerships, and

a Hub, Spoke, and Spike model in

Egypt, where a high-capacity Mega

Lab anchors a network of asset-light

C-labs that enable fast, cost-effective

footprint expansion. In 2025 alone,

IDH added 137 new branches in

Egypt, extending its reach into new

segments while deepening leader-

ship in core markets. This is further

supported by strong brand equity,

deep patient loyalty, and more than

four decades of operational excel-

lence, the Group’s subsidiaries are

firmly embedded in their local mar-

kets. Alongside its expansion in its

home and core markets, the Group

broadened its footprint in Saudi

Arabia following its entry into the

country in 2024, now operating three

branches in the Kingdom.

IDH continues to leverage its mar-

ket-leading position, flexible business

model, scalable platform, and expe-

rienced management to meet near-

term targets – despite economic and

political headwinds across several

markets – while advancing its long-

term growth strategy.

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 Dhabi’s 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, Egypt’s

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.

Meanwhile, the Group’s asset-light model allows for

minimal borrowing and significant strategic flexibility,

providing it with ample leeway to navigate challenging

times while supporting its expansion plans even in high

interest rate environments.

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 IDH’s 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 Group’s 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 Group’s 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 Group’s 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 Group’s

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 Group’s 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.

Pricing pressure in a competitive,

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 Group’s

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 Group’s 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 Group’s 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.

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 Group’s 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 Group’s 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.

From an investor

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.

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

Group’s 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

following a particularly strong third

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

Detailed Segment Performance Breakdown

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 Group’s 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 Group’s 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

platform’s delivery network and expanding cross-selling

through IDH’s branch and digital ecosystem

Saudi Arabia (0.8% of Group revenue in FY 2025)

Biolab KSA, IDH’s newest market venture, recorded rev-

enues of SAR 5.0 million in FY 2025, representing a 252%

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-

tional throughout the year, while the remaining 17 branch-

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.

they declined to 19.3% of revenue

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

Group’s 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-

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

Group’s platform amid strong revenue

growth. The year-on-year movement

in SG&A was primarily driven by the

following factors:

EGP 1,697 million in FY 2024. The

Group’s 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 Group’s 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 IDH’s

two holding-level companies.

IDH recorded a net profit of EGP

1,302 million in FY 2025, represent-

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 Group’s 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 Group’s underlying operating

performance, margin expansion, and

improved cost structure.

TCFD Report

This report marks IDH’s 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

Disclosures in this Annual Report

and Accounts, except in the follow-

ing areas:

•  Strategy: Describing the impact of

climate-related risks/opportunities

on IDH’s business and strategy and

describing the resilience of this un-

der different scenarios (e.g. a 2°C or

lower scenario) have not yet been

conducted; methodology and data

inputs are still being developed for

full compliance

•  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

overall risk management.

Climate-related risks are increas-

ingly considered within the Com-

pany’s risk management frame-

work, and formalised processes for

systematically identifying, assess-

ing, and integrating climate-related

risks into the broader enterprise

risk management structure are still

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

is assigned to the Investment Relations Department, which

operates under the direct oversight of the Group Investment

Relations Director. Oversight of IDH’s decarbonization agenda,

including the authorization of related plans and targets, is pro-

vided by the Group Chief Financial Officer, ensuring alignment

with the Company’s overall strategic direction. These plans

encompass initiatives focused on improving energy efficiency,

optimizing fleet management, and enhancing energy procure-

ment practices.

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 Group’s 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.

of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures

(TCFD).

IDH has previously identified a set of climate-related risks en-

compassing both transition risks and physical risks during 2023

and their relevance has been affirmed in 2025. We reconfirm

that their overall significance to the business remains low.

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.

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.

Fire Suppressants

: 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 IDH’s 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.

We are targeting the adoption of science-based climate targets

for Scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions starting 2027 and 2028.

Recognising the importance of setting appropriate targets and

metrics, we have set a deadline of 31 December 2027 for com-

pliance with the TCFD. This is crucial, as reporting against these

targets will require robust data for both the current and previous

years. The postponement in adoption is due to delayed digitali-

zation process.

Our reduction targets plan is highlighted in the following:

•  Specify the Climate Scenario: Select a relevant climate sce-

nario from among IPCC-validated climate scenarios includ-

ing the SBTi, IAE, and others.

•  Develop Reduction Targets: Establishing a base year, develop

intermediate and long-term science-based targets that align

with the Science-Based Targets initiative or the IEA to help

IDH achieve net-zero by 2050.

•  Investigate Sustainability Opportunities: Engage with inter-

nal stakeholders and seek necessary input on sustainability

ambitions, challenges, and opportunities.

•  Assessment of Reduction Project Feasibility: Assess the

feasibility of targets and previously defined opportunities

for reductions and discuss approaches and alternatives with

relevant stakeholders.

•  Project Implementation: Prioritise, adopt, and implement

water saving projects.

•  Measure Emissions Savings: Quantify emissions savings asso-

ciated with the selected projects.

Guided by its commitment to deliv-

ering high-quality medical services,

IDH treats corporate social responsi-

bility (CSR) as a fundamental exten-

sion of its business mission. In Egypt,

these efforts are primarily channelled

through the Moamena Kamel Foun-

dation for Training and Skill Devel-

opment (MKF), which was founded

in 2006 by Dr. Moamena Kamel,

Professor of Pathology at Cairo

University, founder of Al Mokhtabar

Labs, and mother of CEO Dr. Hend El

Sherbini. Demonstrating its ongoing

dedication to CSR, IDH allocates

roughly 1% of the net after-tax profits

of its subsidiaries, Al Borg and Al

Mokhtabar, to support MKF’s initia-

tives. In 2025, this amounted to EGP

9.6 million, compared to EGP 6.0 mil-

lion in 2024, enabling the Foundation

to expand its healthcare, nutrition,

social development, and awareness

programmes across Egypt.

Egypt

MFK improves the quality of life for

residents in Cairo’s Al Duweiqa com-

munity and multiple villages nation-

wide through an integrated approach

that combines economic, social, and

healthcare support. The Foundation

provides free or subsidized diagnostic

services to thousands of community

members each year, delivers essential

medical assistance and nutritional

support, and collaborates with char-

itable organisations to implement

awareness campaigns, educational

programmes, and preventive health

initiatives. Its primary focus areas in

2025 included:

•  Healthcare and Hospital Support

•  Nutrition Programmes

•  Community and Social Develop-

ment

•  Awareness and Preventive Health

Over the course of 2025, the Foun-

dation continued to deepen its

long-standing partnership with Kasr

El Aini Hospital, a collaboration that

has been in place since 2019. The

Foundation maintained the stabil-

ity of the hospital’s Dialysis Unit by

covering 65% of essential consuma-

bles, enabling approximately 15,000

treatments for 148 regular patients.

At the same time, it contributed to

the relaunch of the Endoscopy Unit

“El Ebrashi,” providing digital tools,

medical equipment, furniture, and

protective gowns, ensuring contin-

ued free access for 3,000 patients

annually.

Emergency services were also

enhanced through renovations to

the gas network in Unit 185, which

increased ICU capacity and allowed

the hospital to perform more surger-

ies efficiently. The Central Pathology

Lab underwent modernization to

improve infection control and opera-

tional efficiency, supporting around

1.5 million tests each year, including

essential kits for dialysis patients.

Additional interventions included

providing endoscopes and consum-

ables for the Endemic Diseases Unit,

covering urgent consumables for the

Vascular Surgery Department serving

320 emergency patients, and initiat-

ing renovations at the Obstetrics &

Gynaecology ICU. These upgrades

expanded monthly patient capacity

from 60–70 to 70–80 and included

comprehensive improvements to gas,

air conditioning, electrical, security,

fire, and data systems.

Through this coordinated approach,

MKF ensured that Kasr El Aini

Hospitals are consistently equipped

to deliver timely, high-quality care

reduce patient waiting times and en-

sured more efficient service delivery.

At Helwan Hospital, MKF intro-

duced the first “Exhaustion Capsule

Heat” installation across the Fever

Hospital network. This advanced

technology enabled more accurate

treatment for patients experiencing

dangerously high fevers, reduced

complications, and streamlined the

medication process, allowing the

hospital to serve a higher volume of

patients with improved safety and

efficiency.

essential diagnostic services for vul-

nerable communities.

Nutrition Programmes

Providing Food Security Through

Targeted Initiatives

In 2025, MKF continued to address

food insecurity and support vulner-

able families through targeted nutri-

tion initiatives. Seasonal campaigns,

particularly during Ramadan, provided

essential food boxes to thousands of

underprivileged households, ensuring

access to balanced meals during a crit-

ical period. In total, these programmes

benefited 17,000 individuals, with

volunteers assisting in the preparation

and distribution of food parcels. By

delivering nutritious provisions direct-

ly to families, MKF not only helped

meet immediate dietary needs but also

contributed to improved child growth,

immunity, and overall health, support-

ing families’ ability to participate in

education and social activities.

Community and Social

Development

Ya Mahla 3letna

The “Ya Mahla 3letna” program rep-

resents MKF’s integrated approach to

community support, combining med-

ical, nutritional, and social interven-

tions for underprivileged families. In

2025, the program served 103 families

in Bashtil village, Giza Governorate,

providing medical check-ups, nutri-

tional support, and behaviour-change

awareness sessions. By addressing

healthcare, dietary needs, and fam-

ily well-being simultaneously, the

program helps strengthen household

resilience, improve child and maternal

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 Group’s

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 Group’s 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 Group’s 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 Group’s 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.

C.A.R.E Values

•  Customer@Heart - Placing our customers at the forefront, delivering pa-

tient-focused care and enhancing relationships.

•  All in One - Embracing collaboration and teamwork, leading to greater suc-

cess and innovation.

•  Raise the Bar - Continuously striving for improvement, pushing boundaries

to achieve excellence.

•  Excellence - Committing to the highest standards of performance and pro-

fessionalism.

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.

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

can be found in Note 27 to this Annual Report.

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

Group’s 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 Group’s 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 Group’s

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.

Governance

Structure

The Board has delegated several areas

of responsibility to its committees.

mittee is available in the Audit Commit-

tee Report on page 118 of this report.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing IDH’s internal financial reporting and ensuring the integrity of

the Group’s financial statements. The Committee is also responsible for reviewing and monitoring the effectiveness

robust. At the date of this report, the following were the members of the Audit Committee:

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 Group’s 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

Group’s strategy and ongoing finan-

cial and business performance.

safeguarding of Group assets, the accuracy of financial

records, and the prevention and detection of fraud or

irregularities.

Even though the Company is still in the transition cat-

egory, it has established a project group who is actively

working towards compliance with Provision 29. Activities

include engagement with leading external specialists.

The Audit Committee continuously evaluates the effec-

tiveness of internal controls and reports its findings and

recommendations to the Board.

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 Group’s principal risks and mit-

igation strategies are outlined on pages 52–59 of this

Annual Report.

•  Additionally, the Board has implemented a control

framework across all subsidiaries, comprising:

•  Board approval of the Group’s overall budget and strate-

gic plans.

•  A well-defined organisational structure outlining re-

sponsibilities, authorities, and reporting lines.

•  Clearly established expenditure authorisation levels.

•  Regular operational reviews at the senior management

level (weekly, monthly, and quarterly) to assess busi-

ness performance.

•  A strategic planning process that outlines key steps for sen-

ior management to execute the Group’s long-term strategy.

•  A robust financial reporting system, including weekly

management updates, monthly management reports,

and an annual budgeting process involving senior man-

agement and the Board. The Board received quarterly

reports throughout 2025.

•  Ongoing performance monitoring, where management

reviews actual results against prioryear figures, budg-

eted targets, and forecasts. Any material deviations are

assessed by the Group Chief Executive and senior man-

agement, with corrective actions taken where necessary.

Further details of the duties and responsibilities of the

Committee can be found in the terms of reference.

auditors are invited to attend meetings regularly, while the

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 Group’s annual and half-year financial

statements and quarterly results updates.

•  Assessing the Group’s 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-

ability-related information, including disclosures on

climate change, aligning them with financial reporting

standards.

•  Overseeing the Group’s cybersecurity strategy to ensure

its robustness and adherence to best practices.

Internal Controls and

Risk Management

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 Group’s 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 Group’s 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

Group’s 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

Group’s 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 Group’s 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 Group’s financial statements remains appropriate.

The going concern assessment was based on the Group’s 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 Group’s 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 Group’s 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 Group’s 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 Group’s performance, business model and strategy.

External Auditors

Independence and

Reappointment

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) served as the

Group’s 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 Group’s 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.

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-

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

twice during the year under review and received

detailed updates from management in respect of

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 Rule’s 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 Group’s 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 Group’s 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

going concern basis in preparing the financial statements is appropriate.

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 Group’s 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 Group’s 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 Group’s

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.

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 Group’s 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 Group’s 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

Group’s 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,

Dr. Hend El Sherbini

Independent auditors’ report

to the members of Integrated

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 group’s 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.

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 Group’s 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 Group’s 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 group’s 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 group’s 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 group’s 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 group’s 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 group’s

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 group’s 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.

Use of this report

This report, including the opinions, has been prepared for and only for the company’s members as a body in accordance

with Article 113A of the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving these opinions, accept

or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whom this report is shown or into whose hands it

may come save where expressly agreed by our prior consent in writing.

Other required reporting

Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 exception reporting

Under the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 we are required to report to you if, in our opinion:

• we have not obtained all the information and explanations we require for our audit;

• proper accounting records have not been kept by the company, or proper returns adequate for our audit have not been

received from branches not visited by us; or

• the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns.

We have no exceptions to report arising from this responsibility.

3.  Business combinations

3.1.  Basis of consolidation

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.

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

162

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 Group’s entities is using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the

functional currency’). The Group’s 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 Group’s 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 Group’s 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 Group’s 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 Group’s 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 Group’s 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 Group’s financial liabilities are a reasonable approximation of their fair values.

The Group’s 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 Group’s

cash management.

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.

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 Group’s 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 investor’s 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 Group’s 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 Group’s

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 Group’s principal financial liabilities are trade and other payables, put option liabilities, borrowings and other finan-

cial liabilities. The Group’s 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 Group’s overall risk management program focuses on

the unpredictability of markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance. The

Group’s 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 Group’s interest-bearing financial instruments as reported to the management of the Group is

as follows:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  | 2025 | 2024 |
|  | EGP’000 | EGP’000 |
| Fixed-rate instruments |  |  |
| Financial obligations (note 26) | 1,185,894 | 1,207,087 |
| Loans and borrowings (note 25) | 46,863 | 197,542 |
| Treasury bills (note 18 & 19) | 122,918 | 74,048 |
| Term deposits (note 18 & 19) | 1,603,622 | 1,125,548 |
| Variable-rate instruments |  |  |
| Loans and borrowings (note 25) | 380,479 | 67,465 |

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 Group’s 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 Group’s 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 Group’s 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 Group’s 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 Group’s 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 Group’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered and credit limit

is set for each customer. The Group’s 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 Group’s treasury department in accord-

ance with the Group’s 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 Group’s Board of Directors on an

annual basis and may be updated throughout the year subject to approval of the Group’s 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 Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of finance

leases and loans.

The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted cashflows:

|  |  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |

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 Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational

needs. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Group’s compliance with internal financial position ratio targets and, if

applicable external regulatory or legal requirements – for example, currency restrictions.

The Group’s 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 Group’s 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 Group’s 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 Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s 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 Group’s 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:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  | 2025 | 2024 |
|  | EGP’000 | EGP’000 |
| Al Mokhtabar Company for Medical Labs | 151,583 | 100,361 |
| Alborg Laboratory Company | 92,800 | 69,979 |

| Al Makhbariyoun Al Arab Company | 32,648 | 39,218 |
|  | 370,571 | 275,541 |

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:

|  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
|  | 2025 | 2024 |
|  | EGP’000 | EGP’000 |
| Profit attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent for basic earnings | 1,262,207 | 1,077,434 |
| EGP’000 |  |  |
| Weighted average number of ordinary shares for basic and dilutive EPS’000 | 581,326 | 593,622 |
| Basic and diluted earnings per share EGP | 2.17 | 1.82 |

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.

These plans have been prepared based on criteria set out below:

|  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  |  | 2025 |  |
|  | Bio Lab | Al-Mokhtabar | Al-Borg |
| Average annual patient growth rate from 2026-2030 | 8% | 5% | 6% |
| Average annual price per test growth rate from 2026-2030 | 1% | 9% | 12% |
| Annual revenue growth rate from 2026-2030 | 9% | 15% | 18% |
| Average gross margin from 2026-2030 | 47% | 47% | 42% |
| Terminal value growth rate from 1 January 2030 | 3% | 5% | 5% |
| Discount rate | 18% | 23% | 24% |

|  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  |  | 2024 |  |
|  | Bio Lab | Al-Mokhtabar | Al-Borg |
| Average annual patient growth rate from 2025-2029 | 4% | 5% | 1% |
| Average annual price per test growth rate from 2025-2029 | 1% | 9% | 8% |
| Annual revenue growth rate from 2025-2029 | 5% | 12% | 10% |
| Average gross margin from 2025-2029 | 39% | 42% | 35% |
| Terminal value growth rate from 1 January 2029 | 3% | 5% | 5% |
| Discount rate | 14% | 24% | 24% |

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:

|  |  |  |  |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|  | Recoverable amount | CGU carrying value | Headroom |
|  | EGP’000 | EGP’000 | EGP’000 |
| Almokhtabar | 7,825,136 | 2,040,952 | 5,784,184 |
| Alborg | 4,407,098 | 2,100,623 | 2,306,475 |
| Al Makhbariyoun Al Arab | 1,921,336 | 893,683 | 1,027,653 |

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 BioLab’s 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 Biolab’s shares at a price equivalent to the equity

value of Biolab’s 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).

cost of sales. The major balance of the raw material is represented in the Kits, slow-moving items of those Kits are immateri-

al. It is noted that days inventory outstanding (based on the average of opening and closing inventory) stands as 94 days at

31 Dec 2025(2024: 105 days).

As at 31 December 2025, the expected credit loss related to trade and other receivables was EGP 251,988k (2024: EGP

208,476k). Below show the movements in the provision for impairment of trade and other receivables:

| Exchange differences | (1,596) | 10,151 |
| At 31 December | 251,988 | 208,476 |

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.

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.

The following table provides information about the exposure to expected credit loss (ECL) for trade receivables from indi-

vidual customers for the nine segments at:

Other Reserves

The capital reserve was created when the Group’s 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.

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.

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

IFC has the option to put its shares according to definitive agreements signed on 15 January 2018 between Dynasty group

Holdings Limited and International Finance Corporation (IFC) related to the Eagle Eye Echo-Scan Limited transaction, IFC

has the option to put it is shares to Dynasty group Holdings Limited in year 2024. The put option price will be calculated on

the basis of the fair market value determined by an independent valuer.

According to the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines, there are multiple ways to calculate

the put option including Discounted Cash Flow, Multiples, Net assets. Multiple valuation was applied and EGP 50 million

was calculated as the valuation as at 31 December 2025 (2024; EGP 20 m). In line with applicable accounting standards with

IAS 32 the entity has recognised a liability for the present value of the exercise price of the option price.

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.
