1      Incorporation and principal activities

1.1    Incorporation

-     EFG Holding Company (Previously EFG Hermes Holding Company) (Egyptian Joint Stock Company) (the "Group" or "Holding Company") is an Egyptian Joint Stock Company subject to the provisions of the Capital Market Law No.95 of 1992 and its executive regulations. The Group's registered office is located in Smart Village building No. B129, phase 3, KM 28 Cairo / Alexandria Desert Road, 6 October 12577 Egypt.

-     The name of the company has been changed to EFG Holding through the approval of the General Assembly dated May 24, 2023 and was reflected in the commercial register on June 14, 2023.

-     EFG Holding shares are listed on the Egyptian Ex-change (EGX) and the London Stock Exchange (LSE) in the form of USD-denominated Global Depository Receipts ("GDRs").

1.2    Purpose of the Group

EFG Holding Company (Previously EFG Hermes Holding Company) is a premiere financial services corporation that offers diverse investment banking services including securities brokerage, investment banking, asset management and private equity. In addition, the Group also has non-bank finance products, which include leasing and micro-finance, instalment services, factoring, securitization, collection and tasquek. The purpose of the Group also includes participation in the establishment of companies which issue securities or in increasing their share capital, custody activities, margin trading and commercial bank activities.

2      Basis of preparation

Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards and interpretations issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) applicable to companies reporting under IFRS Accounting Standards. The consolidated financial statements comply with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

Basis of measurement

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis, except for the following:

·   Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL);

·   Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI);

·   Assets held for sale at fair value at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell; and

·   Accounts payable - customers credit balance at fair value through profit and loss.

Functional and presentation currency

The Group's consolidated financial statements are presented in Egyptian Pound ("EGP") because the EGP forms the major currency in which the Group transacts and funds its business. The EGP is also the Group's functional currency because it is the most significant currency relevant to the underlying transactions, events and conditions of the Group and its subsidiaries, as well as representing a significant proportion of its funds generated from financing activities.

The Group has decided to present its consolidated statement of financial position in order of liquidity rather than bifurcating its assets and liabilities into a current/ non - current classification, as the banking subsidiary consolidated in these financial statements, which represents majority of the Group's assets and liabilities, was presented in a liquidity order format.

2      Basis of preparation (continued)

Use of estimates and judgements

The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In applying the Group's accounting policies, IFRS Accounting Standards require management to select suitable accounting policies, apply them consistently and make judgements, estimates and assumptions that are reasonable and prudent and would result in relevant and reliable information. Management, based on guidance in IFRS Accounting Standards and the IASB's framework for the preparation and presentation of financial statements has made these estimates, judgements and assumptions. Listed below are those estimates and judgements which could have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are based on historical experiences and other factors, including expectation of future events that may have a financial impact on the Group and considered to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

(a) Going concern

The Group's management has made an assessment of the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and is satisfied that the Group has resources to continue in business for the foreseeable future. In making this assessment, management has considered a wide range of information including projections of profitability, regulatory capital requirements and funding needs. The assessment also includes consideration of reasonably possible downside economic scenarios and their potential impacts on the profitability, capital and liquidity of the Group. In making this assessment, the Group has considered the impact of climate related matters on their going concern assessment.

Furthermore, management is not aware of any material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the consolidated financial statements continue to be prepared on going concern basis.

(b) Impairment charge on financial assets

The measurement of impairment losses under IFRS 9 across all categories of financial assets requires assumptions, in particular, in the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows and collateral values when determining impairment losses and the assessment of a significant increase in credit risk. These estimates are driven by a number of factors, changes in which can result in different levels of allowances.

The Group's ECL calculations are outputs of multiple models with a number of underlying assumptions regarding the choice of variable inputs and their interdependencies. Elements of the ECL models that are considered accounting judgements and estimates include:

·    The Group's internal credit grading model, which assigns PDs to the individual grades.

·    The Group's criteria for assessing if there has been a significant increase in credit risk and so allowances for financial assets should be measured on a lifetime ECL basis and the qualitative assessment.

·    The segmentation of financial assets when their ECL is assessed on a collective basis.

·    Development of ECL models, including the various formulas and the choice of inputs.

·    Determination of impacts between economic inputs, such as gross domestic product and collateral values etc. on PDs, EADs and LGDs.

·    Selection of forward looking macroeconomic scenarios and their probability weightings, to derive the economic inputs into the ECL models.

Group's policy is to regularly review its models in the context of actual loss experience and adjust when necessary.

Impairment losses are evaluated as described in Note 3.16.

2      Basis of preparation (continued)

Use of estimates and judgements (continued)

(c) Impairment charge on property and equipment and investment properties

In determining the net realisable value, the Group uses the selling prices determined by external independent valuer companies, having appropriate recognised professional qualifications and recent experience in the location and category of property being valued. The selling prices are based on market values, being the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of the valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's length transaction.

Impairment losses are evaluated as described in Note 3.16.

(d) Valuation of financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions (i.e., an exit price) regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. When the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using a variety of valuation techniques that include the use of valuation models. The valuation techniques of financial instruments may require certain unobservable inputs to be estimated by management.

(e) Defined benefit plan

The cost of end of service defined benefit and the present value of the related obligations are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions which may differ from actual developments in the future. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, withdrawal before normal retirement age and mortality rates. Due to the complexity of the valuation, the underlying assumptions and its long-term nature, a defined benefit obligation is highly sensitive to changes in these assumptions. All assumptions are reviewed at each reporting date.

Additional information on these assumptions is disclosed in Note 20.2.

(f) Financial asset and liability classification

The Group's accounting policies provide scope for the classification and assessment of the business model for financial assets and liabilities to be designated on inception into different accounting categories. The classification criteria are mentioned in policy Note 3.12.

Classification and measurement of financial assets depends on the results of the SPPI and the business model test. The Group determines the business model at a level that reflects how groups of financial assets are managed together to achieve a particular business objective. This assessment includes judgement reflecting all relevant evidence including how the performance of the assets is evaluated and their performance measured, the risks that affect the performance of the assets and how these are managed and how the managers of the assets are compensated. The Group monitors financial assets measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income that are derecognised prior to their maturity to understand the reason for their disposal and whether the reasons are consistent with the objective of the business for which the asset was held. Monitoring is part of the group's continuous assessment of whether the business model for which the remaining financial assets are held continues to be appropriate and if it is not appropriate whether there has been a change in business model and so a prospective change to the classification of those assets. No such changes were required during the periods presented.

(g) Operating segments

In preparation of the segment information disclosure, management has made certain assumptions to arrive at the segment reporting. These assumptions would be reassessed by management on a periodic basis. Operating segments are detailed in Note 31.

2      Basis of preparation (continued)

Use of estimates and judgements (continued)

(h) Goodwill impairment testing

The Group estimates that reasonably possible changes in the assumptions used for the impairment would not cause the recoverable amount of either CGU to decline below the carrying amount. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. CGU is the smallest identifiable asset group that generates cash flows that largely are independent from other assets and groups. Impairment losses are recognised in the Group consolidated statement of profit or loss statement. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of other assets in the unit (group or units) on a pro rata basis.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

(i) Tax

The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. In determining the amount of current and deferred tax, the Group considers the impact of tax exposures, including whether additional taxes and interest maybe due. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of judgements about future events. New information may become available that causes the Group to change its judgement regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities; such changes to tax liabilities would impact tax expense in the period in which such a determination is made (refer Note 21).

3.2    Basis of consolidation

Business combination

The Group accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method when control is transferred to the Group.

The consideration transferred in the acquisition comprises of:

·   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.

3      Summary of material accounting policies (continued)

3.2    Basis of consolidation (conitinued)

Business combination (continued)

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 proportionate share of the acquired entity's net identifiable assets.

Transaction costs are expensed as incurred, except if related to the issue of debt or equity securities in which case those instruments are recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs.

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 equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date. Any gains or losses arising from such remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss.

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it 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 over the entity.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.

3      Summary of material accounting policies (continued)

3.2    Basis of consolidation (continued)

Non-controlling interests (NCI)

NCI are measured at their proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition. Changes in the Group's interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.

Loss of control

When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, and any related NCI and other components of equity. Any resulting gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any interest retained in the former subsidiary is measured at fair value when control is lost.

Interests in equity-accounted investees

The Group's interests in equity-accounted investees comprise interests in associates and joint ventures. Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating policies. A joint venture is an arrangement in which the Group has joint control, where by the Group has rights to the net assets of the arrangement. Rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its liabilities. Interests in associates and the joint venture are accounted for using the equity method. They are initially recognized at cost, which includes transaction costs.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements include the Group's share of the profit or loss and OCI of equity accounted investees, until the date on which significant influence or joint control ceases.

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intra-Group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-Group transactions, are eliminated. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group's interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

3.3    Foreign currency

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Group companies at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate at the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured based on historical cost in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Foreign currency differences are recognised in consolidated statement of profit or loss.

However, foreign currency differences arising from the translation of the following items are recognised in OCI:

-    A financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation to the extent that the hedge is effective; and

-    Qualifying cash flow hedges to the extent that the hedges are effective.

3       Summary of material accounting policies (continued)

3.3      Foreign currency (continued)

Foreign currency transactions (continued)

Exchange differences on a monetary item that is part of a net investment in a foreign operation are recognised in other comprehensive income in consolidated accounts. On disposal of a foreign operation, exchange differences previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to the income statement as a reclassification adjustment.

Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

Foreign currency differences are recognized in OCI and accumulated in the translation reserve, except to the extent that the translation difference is allocated to NCI

When a foreign operation is disposed off in its entirety or partially such that control, significant influence or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. If the Group disposes of part of its interest in a subsidiary but retains control, then the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to NCI. When the Group disposes of only part of an associate or joint venture while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

3.4      Discontinued operation

A discontinued operation is a component of the Group's business, the operations and cash flows of which can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Group. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale. When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative statement of profit or loss and OCI is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the comparative period.

3.5      Revenue

Gain on sale of investments

Gain (loss) resulting from sale of investments are recognized on transaction date and measured by the difference between cost and selling price less selling commission and expenses.

In case of derecognition of investments in associates, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of both the consideration received and cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in shareholders' equity is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss.

Dividend income

Dividend income is recognized when declared and the right to receive payment is established.

Custody fee

Custody fees are recognized when the service is provided. Assets held in a fiduciary capacity are not treated as assets of the Group as they are only held in trust where the Group acts as a custodian on customers' behalf. The Group has no liability or obligations towards the customer on these assets held in trust. Accordingly, these assets are not included in these consolidated financial statements.

3       Summary of material accounting policies (continued)

3.5      Revenue (continued)

Interest income and expenses

Interest income and expense for all interest-bearing financial instruments, except for those classified as FVTPL or designated at fair value through profit or loss, are recognized within 'interest income' and 'interest expense' in the consolidated statement of profit or loss using the effective interest method. Interest income and expense are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss using the effective interest method. The 'effective interest rate' is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to:

·    the gross carrying amount of the financial asset; or

·    the amortized cost of the financial liability.

When calculating the effective interest rate for financial instruments other than credit-impaired assets, the Groups estimate future cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument, but not expected credit losses.

The calculation of the effective interest rate includes transaction costs and fees and points paid or received that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Transaction costs include incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of a financial asset or financial liability.

Presentation

Interest income and expense presented in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and OCI include:

Interest on financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost calculated on an effective interest basis; and

Interest on financial investment is measured at FVOCI calculated on an effective interest basis; Interest income and expense on other financial assets and financial liabilities at FVTPL are presented in net income from other financial instruments at FVTPL.

Amortized cost and gross carrying amount

The 'amortized cost' of a financial asset or financial liability is the amount at which the financial asset or financial liability is measured on initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective interest method of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount and, for financial assets, adjusted for any expected credit loss allowance.

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is the amortized cost of a financial asset before adjusting for any expected credit loss allowance.

For financial assets that have become credit-impaired subsequent to initial recognition, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset. If the asset is no longer credit-impaired, then the calculation of interest income reverts to the gross basis.

For financial assets that were credit-impaired on initial recognition, interest income is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the asset. The calculation of interest income does not revert to a gross basis, even if the credit risk of the asset improves.

In calculating interest income and expense, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the asset (when the asset is not credit-impaired) or to the amortized cost of the liability.

3       Summary of material accounting policies (continued)

3.5      Revenue (continued)

Fee and commission income

Fee and commission income and expense that are integral to the effective interest rate of a financial asset or liability are included in the measurement of the effective interest rate.

Other fee and commission income, including account servicing fees, placement fees and syndication fees, are recognised as the related services are performed.

A contract with a customer that results in a recognised financial instrument in the Group's financial statements may be partially in the scope of IFRS 9 and partially in the scope of IFRS 15. If this is the case, then the Group first applies IFRS 9 to separate and measure the part of the contract that is in the scope of IFRS 9 and then applies IFRS 15 to the residual.

Other fees and commission expenses relates mainly to transaction and service fees, which are expensed in the consolidated statement of profit or loss as the services are received.

Brokerage commission

Brokerage commission resulting from purchase of and sale of securities in favor of clients are recorded upon the execution of the transaction.

Management fee

Management fee is calculated as determined by the management contract of each investment fund and portfolio and recorded on accrual basis.

Incentive fee

Incentive fee is calculated based on certain percentages of the annual return realized by the fund and portfolio, however these incentive fee will not be recognized until revenue realization conditions are satisfied and there is adequate assurance of collection.

Investment property rental income

Rental income from investment property is recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognized as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease. Rental income from other property is recognized as other income.

Revenue from micro-finance services

-      Revenue from micro-finance services is recognized based on time proportion taking into consideration the rate of return on asset. Revenue yield is recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss using the effective interest method for all financial instruments that carry a yield, the effective interest method is the method of measuring the amortized cost of a financial asset and distributing the revenue over the lifetime of the relevant instrument. The effective interest rate is the rate that discounts estimated future cash receipts during the expected life of the financial instrument to reach the book value of the financial asset.

-      When classifying loans to customers as irregular, no income is recognized on its return, and it is recognized in marginal records outside the financial statements and are recognized as revenue in accordance with the cash basis when it is collected.

-      The commission income is represented in the value of the difference between the yield of the financing granted micro-enterprises and the accruals of the Group's bank by deducting the services provided directly from the amounts collected from the entrepreneurs.

-      The benefits and commissions resulting from the performance of the service are recognized, according to the accrual basis as soon as the service is provided to the client unless those revenues cover more of the financial period are recognized on a time proportion basis.

-      The administrative commission of the loan granted to customers is collected on contracting in exchange for the issuance of the loan service and administrative commission revenue are proven in the consolidated statement of profit or loss upon the issuance of the loan to the client.

3       Summary of material accounting policies (continued)

3.5      Revenue (continued)

Revenue from micro-finance services (continued)

-      A commission delay in payments of premiums is collected at rates agreed upon within the contracts and are recognized as soon as customers delayed payment on the basis of the extended delay.

Gains from securitization

Gains from securitization is measured as the difference between the fair value of the consideration received or is still due to the Group at the end of securitization process and the carrying amount of the securitization portfolios in the Group's books on the date of the transfer agreement.

3.6      Income tax

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognized in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in OCI.

Current tax

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Current tax also includes any tax arising from dividends. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

Deferred tax is not recognized for:

-      Temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss;

-      Temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

-      Taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Future taxable profits are determined based on business plans for individual subsidiaries in the Group. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.

Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. For this purpose, the carrying amount of investment property measured at fair value is presumed to be recovered through sale, and the Group has not rebutted this presumption.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.

3.7      Property and equipment

Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.  Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.

Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group.

Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated to write off the cost of items of property, plant and equipment less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, and is generally recognized in profit or loss. Leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives unless it is reasonably certain that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term. Land is not depreciated.  The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment for current and comparative periods are as follows:                        

Estimated useful life (years)
Buildings 20 - 50
Office furniture, equipment & electrical appliances 2 - 16.67
Computer equipment 3.33 - 5
Transportation means 3.33 - 5

Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

Reclassification to investment property

When the use of a property changes from owner-occupied to investment property, it is reclassified to investment property

3.8      Projects under construction

Projects under construction are recognized initially at cost, the book value is amended by any impairment concerning the value of these projects. Cost includes all expenditures directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use. Property and equipment under construction are transferred to property and equipment caption when they are completed and are ready for their intended use.

3.9      Intangible assets and goodwill

Goodwill

Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interests, and any previous interest held, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred or is in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognised in profit or loss.

3       Summary of material accounting policies (continued)

3.9      Intangible assets and goodwill (continued)

Goodwill (continued)

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units ("CGU") that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.

Where goodwill has been allocated to a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed in these circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the disposed operation and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

Research and development

Expenditure on research activities is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Development expenditure is capitalised only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Group intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset.

Otherwise, it is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Subsequent to initial recognition, development expenditure is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

3.10    Investment property

Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Transaction costs include transfer taxes, professional fees for legal services and (only in case of investment property held under a lease) initial leasing commissions to bring the properties to the condition necessary for them to be capable of operating.

Subsequent to initial recognition investment property is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment loss, if any. Investment property is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its useful life. The estimated useful life of investment property is 33 years.

3.11    Assets held for sale

Non-current assets, or disposal Groups comprising assets and liabilities, are classified as held-for-sale if it is highly probable that they will be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use.

Such assets, or disposal Groups, are generally measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment loss on a disposal Group is allocated first to goodwill, and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets, deferred tax assets, employee benefit assets, investment property or biological assets, which continue to be measured in accordance with the Group's accounting policies. Impairment losses on initial classification as held-for-sale or held-for distribution and subsequent gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss.

3       Summary of material accounting policies (continued)

3.11    Assets held for sale (continued)

Once classified as held-for-sale, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are no longer amortized or depreciated, and any equity-accounted investee is no longer equity accounted.

3.12    Financial instruments

Recognition and initial measurement

Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.

Classification and subsequent measurement

Financial assets

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost; FVOCI - debt investment; FVOCI - equity investment; or FVTPL. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

-      it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

-      its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

-      it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

-      its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment's fair value in OCI. This election is made on an instrument‑by‑instrument basis.

All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

Classification and subsequent measurement (continued)

Financial assets (continued)

Financial assets - Business model assessment

The Group makes an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held at a portfolio level because this best reflects the way the business is managed and information is provided to management. The information considered includes:

-      The stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. These include whether management's strategy focuses on earning contractual interest income, maintaining a particular interest rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related liabilities or expected cash outflows or realizing cash flows through the sale of the assets;

-      How the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Group's management;

-      The risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and how those risks are managed;

-      How managers of the business are compensated - e.g. whether compensation is based on the fair value of the assets managed or the contractual cash flows collected; and

-      The frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for such sales and expectations about future sales activity.

Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered sales for this purpose, consistent with the Group's continuing recognition of the assets.

Financial assets that are held for trading or are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis are measured at FVTPL.

Financial assets - Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest

For the purposes of this assessment, 'principal' is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition. 'Interest' is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs (e.g. liquidity risk and administrative costs), as well as a profit margin.

In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Group considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Group considers:

-    Contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;

-    Terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable rate‑ features;

-    Prepayment and extension features; and

-    Terms that limit the Group's claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non‑recourse features)

3       Summary of material accounting policies (continued)

3.12    Financial instruments (continued)

Financial assets - Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest (continued)

A prepayment feature is consistent with the solely payments of principal and interest criterion if the prepayment amount substantially represents unpaid amounts of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, which may include reasonable compensation for early termination of the contract. Additionally, for a financial asset acquired at a discount or premium to its contractual par amount, a feature that permits or requires prepayment at an amount that substantially represents the contractual par amount plus accrued (but unpaid) contractual interest (which may also include reasonable compensation for early termination) is treated as consistent with this criterion if the fair value of the prepayment feature is insignificant at initial recognition.

Financial assets - Subsequent measurement and gains and losses

Financial assets at FVTPL These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets at amortized cost These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.
Debt investments at FVOCI These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses are recognised in OCI. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss.
Equity investments at FVOCI These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognised as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognised in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

Financial liabilities - Classification, subsequent measurement and gains and losses

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held‑for‑trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in profit or loss.

Derecognition

Financial assets

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

3       Summary of material accounting policies (continued)

3.12    Financial instruments (continued)

Derecognition (continued)

Financial assets (continued)

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

The Group enters transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised in its statement of financial position but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognised.

Financial liabilities

The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. The Group also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value.

On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non‑cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognised in profit or loss.

Offsetting

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the consolidated statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

3.13    Fair value measurement

The fair value of financial instruments are determined based on the market value of the financial instrument or similar financial instruments at the date of the financial statements without deducting any estimated future selling costs.

3.14    Share capital

Ordinary shares

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are recognized as a deduction from equity. Income tax relating to transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for in accordance with IAS 12.

Repurchase and reissue of ordinary shares (treasury shares)

When shares recognized as equity are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs is recognized as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares and are presented in the treasury share reserve. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognized as an increase in equity and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is presented within share premium.

3.15    Legal reserve

The Group's statutes provide for deduction of a sum equal to 5% of the annual net profit for formation of the legal reserve. Such deduction will be ceased when the total reserve reaches an amount equal to half of the Group's issued capital and when the reserve falls below this limit, it shall be necessary to resume.

3       Summary of material accounting policies (continued)

3.16    Impairment

Non-derivative financial assets

Financial instruments and contract assets

The Group recognizes loss allowances for Expected Credit Loss (ECLs) on:

-    Financial assets measured at amortized cost;

-    Debt investments measured at FVOCI;

-    Contract assets.

The Group also recognizes loss allowances for ECLs on loans receivables.

The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, except for the following, which are measured at 12‑month ECLs:

-    Debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and

-    Other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Group's historical experience and informed credit assessment, that includes forward‑looking information.

The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due. unless it can be rebutted.

The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when:

-    The debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full, without recourse by the Group to actions such as realising security (if any is held); or

-    The financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless it can be rebutted.

Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. 12‑month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months). The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.

Measurement of ECLs

ECLs are an unbiased probability‑weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e., the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive).

ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

3       Summary of material accounting policies (continued)

3.16    Impairment (continued)

Credit-impaired financial assets

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost and debt securities at FVOCI are credit‑impaired. A financial asset is 'credit‑impaired' when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.

Evidence that a financial asset is credit‑impaired includes the following observable data:

-    Significant financial difficulty of the debtor;

-    A breach of contract such as a default or being more than 90 days past due;

-    The restructuring of a loan or advance by the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise;

-    It is probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation; or

-    The disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.

Presentation of allowance for ECL in the statement of financial position

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.

For debt securities at FVOCI, the loss allowance is charged to profit or loss and is recognized in OCI.

Write-off

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For individual customers, the Group has a policy of writing off the gross carrying amount when the financial asset is 180 days past due based on historical experience of recoveries of similar assets. For corporate customers, the Group individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write‑off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Group expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group's procedures for recovery of amounts due.

Non-financial assets

-    At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non‑financial assets (other than, investment property, contract assets and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment.

-    For impairment testing, assets are Grouped together into the smallest Group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or Groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

-    The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre‑tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

-    An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.

3       Summary of material accounting policies (continued)

3.16    Impairment (continued)

Non-financial assets (continued)

-    Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.

-    An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

3.17    Investments at fair value through profit or loss

These are securities that the Group acquire principally for the purpose of selling in the near term or holding as a part of portfolio that is managed together for short term profit or position taking. These assets are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently also measure at fair value in the consolidated statement of financial position. All changes in fair values are recognised as part of profit or loss.

3.18    Investments at fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets managed within a business model that is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling and which contain contractual terms that give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest are measured at FVOCI.

These comprise primarily debt securities. They are recognised on the trade date when the group enters into contractual arrangements to purchase and are generally derecognised when they are either sold or redeemed.

Investments in equity instruments at FVOCI are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal

of the investments.

Investments in debt instruments at FVOCI are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the investment revaluation reserve. The cumulative gain or loss will be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the investments.

3.19    Financial instruments measured at amortised cost

Financial assets that are held to collect the contractual cash flows and which contain contractual terms that give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost. Such financial assets include most loans and advances to banks and customers and some debt securities. In addition, most financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost. The group accounts for regular way amortised cost financial instruments using trade date accounting. The carrying value of these financial assets at initial recognition includes any directly attributable transactions costs.

3.20    Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a legal or constructive current obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable that a flow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessment of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Provisions are reviewed at the financial position date and amended (when necessary) to represent the best current estimate.

3      Summary of material accounting policies (continued)

3.21    Trade, and notes receivables, debtors and other debit balances

Trade, notes receivables, debtors and other debit balances are stated at nominal value less impairment losses.

The Group's lessees and the leased assets are regularly classified & evaluated, and their obligations are reduced by the rent value paid in each financial period, and with the assurance of the availability of adequate guarantee to collect the client's rent values.

3.22    Cash and cash equivalents

For the purpose of preparing the statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include the balances, whose maturity do not exceed three months from the date of acquisition, cash on hand, cheques under collection and due from banks and financial institutions.

3.23    Profit sharing to employees

The Holding Company pays 10% of its dividends as profit sharing to its employees provided that it will not exceed total employees' annual salaries and directly charged on the consolidated statement of profit or loss as per IFRS accounting standards.

3.24    Employees benefits

Share based payments

Equity settled transactions

For equity-settled share-based payment transactions, the Group measures the services received, and the corresponding increase in equity, indirectly, by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. The fair value of those equity instruments is measured at grant date.

Vesting conditions, other than market conditions, are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments included in the measurement of the transaction amount so that, ultimately, the amount recognized for services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted are based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest. Hence, on a cumulative basis, no amount is recognized for services received if the equity instruments granted do not vest because of failure to satisfy a vesting condition.

The Group recognizes an amount for the services received during the vesting period based on the best available estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest and revise that estimate, if necessary, if subsequent information indicates that the number of equity instruments expected to vest differs from previous estimates. On vesting date, the entity shall revise the estimate to equal the number of equity instruments that ultimately vested.

3.25    Micro-enterprises receivables

Credit policy

Funding Consideration

-    Funding is granted to clients who have previous experience not less than one year in their current activity which is confirmed by the clients with adequate documentation and field inquiry.

-    Funding is granted to the clients and instalments are suitable to their predictable which it's instalment is suitable according to his predictable income activity and this is done through analyzing clients' revenues and expenses and their foreseeable marginal income, and this is done by the specialists of the Group on the prepared form for this purpose (financial study form and credit decision).

-    Before grant funding, a client activity field inquiry is done.

-    Recording inquiries results about client and guarantor with inquiring forms of the Group which reveal client's activity (visit form & Inquiry form).

3       Summary of material accounting policies (continued)

3.25    Micro-enterprises receivables(continued)

Credit policy (continued)

-    The Group prohibit grant funding for new client unless the activity is existing with previous one year experience where the granted funds are within a minimum 1,000 EGP and maximum

30,000 EGP with loan duration of 12 months.

-    Inquiries for clients are performed by I-Score Group before granting and in case of approval on granting. The credit limit of the client is considered when calculating the client's revenue and expenses.

Client's Life Insurance

The insurance process on the client is performed with the authorized companies from insurance supervisory authority.

Impairment loss of micro financed loans

The Group at the date of the financial statements estimates the impairment loss of micro financed loans, in the light of the basis and rules of granting credit and forming the provisions according to the Board of Directors decision of the Financial Supervisory Authority No. (173) issued on December 21, 2014, to deal with the impairment loss.

The accounting policies relating to micro-enterprises receivables are detailed under note 3.11.

3.26  Leases

At 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. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the Group uses the definition of a lease in IFRS 16.

As a lessee

At commencement or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of its relative stand‑alone prices. However, for the leases of property 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 recognizes 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 commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

3       Summary of material accounting policies (continued)

3.26    Leases (continued)

As a lessee (continued)

The Group determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of the asset leased.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the 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 commencement date; amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and 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 amortized 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, if 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 or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right‑of‑use asset has been reduced to zero.

The Group presents right‑of‑use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in 'property, plant and equipment' and lease liabilities in 'loans and borrowings' in the statement of financial position.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Group has elected not to recognize right‑of‑use assets and lease liabilities for leases of low - value assets and short‑term leases, including IT equipment. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight‑line basis over the lease term.

As a lessor

At inception or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand- alone prices.

When the Group acts as a lessor, it determines at lease inception whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease.

To classify each lease, the Group makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then it is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Group considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for a major part of the economic life of the asset.

When the Group is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Group applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, then the Group applies IFRS 15 to allocate the consideration in the contract.

The Group applies the derecognition and impairment requirements of IFRS 9 to the net investment in the lease. The Group further regularly reviews estimated unguaranteed residual values used in calculating the gross investment in the lease. The Group recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight- line basis over the lease term as part of 'other revenue'.

Sale and leaseback transactions are tested under IFRS 15 at the date of the transaction, and if the transaction qualifies as a sale, the underlying asset is derecognised and a right-of-use asset with a corresponding liability is recognised equal to the retained interest in the asset. Any gain or loss is recognised immediately in the consolidated income statement for the interest in the asset transferred to the lessor. If the transaction does not qualify as a sale under IFRS 15, a financial liability equal to the sale value is recognised in the consolidated financial statements

3.27    Operating segment

A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group that is engaged either in providing products or services (business segment) or in providing products or services within a particular economic environment (geographical segment), which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments. The Group's primary format for segment reporting is based on business segment.

3.28    Earnings per share

The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted EPS is determined by adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

4       Significant management judgements and estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

Information about significant areas of estimation and uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements are described below:

Impairment charge on financial assets

Impairment losses are evaluated as described in Note 3.16.

The measurement of impairment losses under IFRS 9 across all categories of financial assets requires judgement, in particular, the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows and collateral values when determining impairment losses and the assessment of a significant increase in credit risk. These estimates are driven by a number of factors, changes in which can result in different levels of allowances. The Group's ECL calculations are outputs of complex models with a number of underlying assumptions regarding the choice of variable inputs and their interdependencies. Elements of the ECL models that are considered accounting judgements and estimates include:

· The Group's internal credit grading model, which assigns PDs to the individual grades

· The Group's criteria for assessing if there has been a significant increase in credit risk and so allowances for financial assets should be measured on a lifetime ECL basis and the qualitative assessment

· The segmentation of financial assets when their ECL is assessed on a collective basis

· Development of ECL models, including the various formulas and the choice of inputs

· Determination of associations between macroeconomic scenarios and, economic inputs, such as unemployment levels, GDP and inflation rate and the effect on PDs, EADs and LGDs

· Selection of forward-looking macroeconomic scenarios and their probability weightings, to derive the economic inputs into the ECL models It is the Group's policy to regularly review its models in the context of actual loss experience and adjust when necessary.

Fair value measurement

The Group's determination of fair value hierarchy of financial instruments is discussed in note 36.

The value of financial assets is determined by the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

· In the absence of an active market to determine the fair value of financial instruments, the fair value is estimated using various valuation techniques, taking into consideration the prices of the transactions occurred recently, and guided by the current fair value of other similar tools substantially - discounted cash flow method - or any other evaluation method to get resulting values that can rely on.

4       Significant management judgements and estimates (continued)

Fair value measurement (continued)

· When using the discounted cash flow method to evaluate, the future cash flows are estimated based on the best estimates of management. The discount rate used is determined in the light of the prevailing market price at the date of the consolidated financial statements that are similar in nature and conditions.

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities that are traded in active markets are based on quoted market prices or dealer price quotations. For all other financial instruments, the Group determines fair values using other valuation techniques.

For financial instruments that trade infrequently and have little price transparency, fair value is less objective, and requires varying degrees of judgment depending on liquidity, concentration, uncertainty of market factors, pricing assumptions and other risks affecting the specific instrument.

Valuation of financial instruments

The valuation techniques of financial instruments may require certain unobservable inputs to be estimated by the management. These are discussed in detail in Note 35.

The Group measures fair values using the fair value hierarchy outlined in Note 35, which reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values.

This includes a valuation team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the CFO. The valuation team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments.

The Group recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of reporting period during which the change has occurred. Valuation techniques include net present value and discounted cash flow models, comparison with similar instruments for which market observable prices exist.

Assumptions and inputs used in valuation techniques include risk-free and benchmark interest rates, credit spreads and other premia used in estimating discount rates, bond and equity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, equity and equity index prices and expected price volatilities and correlations. The objective of valuation techniques is to arrive at a fair value measurement that reflects the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The Group uses widely recognized valuation models for determining the fair value of common and more simple financial instruments, like interest rate and currency swaps that use only observable market data and require little management judgment and estimation. Observable prices or model inputs are usually available in the market for listed debt and equity securities, exchange-traded derivatives and simple over the counter derivatives such as interest rate swaps. Availability of observable market prices and model inputs reduces the need for management judgment and estimation and also reduces the uncertainty associated with determining fair values.

Availability of observable market prices and inputs varies depending on the products and markets and is prone to changes based on specific events and general conditions in the financial markets.

The Group does not hold any derivatives at the year-end.

4    Significant management judgements and estimates (continued)

Determination of preliminary values of assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations

While the Group uses its best estimates and assumptions to accurately apply preliminary values to assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as well as contingent consideration, where applicable, these estimates are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Group records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of the assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Accounting for business combinations requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially at the acquisition date, including estimates for intangible assets, contractual obligations assumed, pre-acquisition contingencies, and contingent consideration, where applicable. Although the Company believes the assumptions and estimates it has made have been reasonable and appropriate, they are based in part on historical experience and information obtained from management of the acquired companies and are inherently uncertain. Critical estimates in valuing certain of the intangible assets acquired include; future expected cash flows, estimated market royalty rates, customer attrition rates, cost of developed technology and discount rates. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur that may affect the accuracy or validity of such assumptions, estimates, or actual results. Acquisition-related expenses are recognized separately from the business combination and are expensed as incurred.

14 Goodwill and other intangible assets (continued)

14.2.1 Goodwill - Test for impairment

The Group assesses goodwill for impairment at least annually. This involves estimating the recoverable amount of the relevant subsidiaries, being the cash-generating units (CGUs). As of the reporting date, the estimated recoverable amounts of the CGUs exceeded their respective carrying values.

The recoverable amounts were determined using the value-in-use approach, applying the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method. Cash flow projections were based on a five-year business plan approved by management. The key assumptions used reflect management's expectations of market and industry trends and are supported by historical data sourced from both internal and external sources.

Discount rates were derived from observable market benchmarks, including government bond yields, equity risk premiums, and industry-specific beta factors. Terminal growth rates were aligned with long-term macroeconomic forecasts, including those published by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). A capital structure assumption of 100% equity was applied across all valuations.

In certain cases, the Dividend Discount Model (DDM) was applied where appropriate, using the same valuation principles.

Hence, the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) was computed using growth rates ranging from 2% to 5%, while the Equity Risk Premium ranged from 4% to 7%, resulting in WACC rates between 8% and 29%, depending on the entity being assessed and subject to market and country conditions. 

The Group has performed an analysis by varying these input factors by a reasonably possible margin and assessing whether the change in input factors result in any of the goodwill allocated to appropriate cash generating units being impaired. Based on the above analysis, management has not recognized an impairment for the year ended 31 December 2025 in relation to goodwill.

33  Earnings per share

Earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net profit for the year after deduction of Tier 1 capital notes payment by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year as set out below:

31 December 2025 31 December 2024
Net profit for the year attributable to the shareholders of the Holding Company 3,753,339 4,098,933
Weighted average number of ordinary shares:
Number of shares issued/deemed to be outstanding from the beginning of the year 1,459,606 1,459,606
Effect of treasury shares during the year 2025 (23,713) (14,448)
Weighted average number of ordinary shares 1,435,893 1,445,158
Basic earnings per share - EGP 2.61 2.84
Net profit for the year for calculating diluted earnings per share 3,753,339 4,098,933
Weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue for diluted earnings per share 1,435,893 1,445,158
Diluted earnings per share - EGP 2.61 2.84

Basic and diluted earnings per share are the same due to the fact that the Group has fully issued the shares under share-based payment scheme (Note 30) hence, the impact of dilution is nil for the year ended 31 December 2025 and the year ended 31 December 2024.

34  Financial risk management

The Group, because of its activities, is exposed to various financial risks, considering the risk acceptance is the basis of the financial activity. Some risks or a group of risks are analyzed, assessed, and managed collectively, and therefore the Group intends to achieve an appropriate balance between risk and interest and to reduce the potential negative effects on the financial performance of the Bank. The most significant types of financial risks are credit risk, market risk and liquidity risk and other operating risks. Market risk includes foreign exchange rate risk, and interest rate risk.

Risk management policies are adopted to determine and analyse risks to limit, control and monitor the risks and commit to limits through the reliable techniques and updated information systems. The Bank periodically reviews and modifies the risk management policies and systems to reflect changes in markets, products, services, and the best recent applications.

Risks are managed by Risk Function in terms of the policies approved by the Board of Directors. Risk Function determines, assesses and covers the financial risks in close cooperation with the various operating units of the Bank. The Board of Directors provides written principles for managing the risks as a whole, in addition to written policies covering specific risk areas such as credit risk, foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and the use of derivative and non-derivative instruments. In addition, the Risk Function is independently responsible for periodic review of the risk management and control environment.

34  Financial risk management (continued)

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. Management of financial risk in the commercial bank (Bank NXT) is conducted through a separate organization from the investment bank due to regulatory rules and operational necessity. Below is a summary of the risk management framework in both business segments.

34.1   Risk management framework in the investment bank

The investment bank has a central treasury department that works closely with the operating units throughout the Group. The board of directors provides, through its audit and risk committee, guidance to management to issues regarding risk. The board of directors is responsible for:

·      Overseeing, ratifying, and reviewing the duties of the risk management department.

·      Approving the investment bank's risk appetite framework ("RAF") and ensure it remains consistent with the Firm's short- and long-term strategy, business and capital plans and risk capacity.

·      Discuss and determine actions if any of the RAF measures are breached.

Credit risk

I.                                                                                                                                          Investment Banking's Credit risk:

Credit Risk is the risk of loss arising from the inability or failure of a customer, client or counterparty to meet its obligations. We define the credit exposure to a client or counterparty as the loss potential arising from all product classifications including brokerage's margin lending, overdrafts, DVP, FOP, debt instrument's assets held for-sale & assets held to maturity including T-bills & government bonds and cash placement with commercial banks.

A.   Margin Lending

Margin trades involve paying for part of the cost (50%) of a security; a loan for the rest is loaned (50%) by our Brokerage arm to its clients and leaving the securities on deposit under EFG's custody as collateral. Margin trades also involve funding 100% of the trade whenever the client submits collateral that maintains a loan ratio of 50%. The margin lending is bearing interest charges calculated monthly

The Role of Risk Management

· The Credit Risk Officer within the Risk Management Function review and scrutinize the margin trading portfolio on a daily basis.

· The Risk Management Function prepare and develop regular reports on the portfolio associated risks and provide recommendations to facilitate the decision-making process.

· The Risk Management Function is responsible to closely monitor the periodic reports issued by the Margin Trading Desk.

· The Risk Management Function continuously monitor clients' limits to ensure that no single client or group of clients exceeds 5% of HSB's margin portfolio and ensure that the clients' holdings are diversified.

· Concentration limits (stock/client/country) limits set by the Risk Management function.

· On Quarterly basis, the credit risk management runs the ECL model to calculate the expected credit loss for the HSB's margin portfolio and to monitor the change from stage to stage concerning margin exposure and the quality of the collateral the risk management coordinate with the Finance Department on the final ECL figure after running different scenarios to be reflected in the Group's provision.

· On a weekly basis the risk management department runs historical and hypothetical stress tests scenarios to assess the possible losses in the margin book. The reports also include a multitude of risk metrics and reports including time to liquidate exposures, clients' portfolios liquidation risk, single stocks exposures and client's concentration risks.

B. Client on-boarding

Margin Trading is applicable only to the approved list of stocks for Margin Trading by the EFG Hermes' risk management.

a)    Each client should meet min. requirement to be eligible for margin trading. The risk management assess the client creditworthiness, Risk tolerance & his/her trading experience.

b)   the risk management has set the following limits to the margin trading:

·   Single client exposure

·   Single stock exposure/Collateral, Maximum single stock exposure:

·   Marginable Stock/Collateral selection,

·   Client with single stock as collateral,

·   Margin to Free Float & Margin to market cap,

·   Board member transactions,

II.                                                                                                                                         NBFI's Credit Risk:

The NBFI's is exposed to credit risk which is the risk resulting from a party's failure to meet its contractual obligations towards the lending entity. The credit risk is considered to be the most significant risk, therefore requiring a prudent risk management framework. Credit risk is mainly represented in lending activities that give rise to funding facilities. Financial risk management and control are present in each subsidiary reporting to its BOD and the head of each business unit regularly. All risk management activities are further overlooked and managed in a centralized unit within the NBFI which additionally reports to the Group's Board of Directors.

Credit risk measurement

Each subsidiary assesses the Probability of Default of its client using internal credit underwriting criteria tailored to its business line. These techniques have been developed internally and analyses its credit worthiness and risk rating. Below is a summary for the internal Risk Rating for the Corporate lending arms:

Corporate lending risk rating:

Corporate Risk Rating Matrix Grade
1 Low Risk Performing
2 Moderate Risk
3 Satisfactory Risk
4 Adequate Risk
5 Acceptable Risk
6 Marginally Acceptable
7 Watch List
8 Substandard Non-Performing
9 Doubtful
10 Loss

Credit risk classification

NBFI assesses the probability of default at the level of each client/ customer using several different techniques based on the nature of the business. This differs from corporate clients to retail whereby the creditworthiness of the client/customers is verified using internally developed models and evaluation techniques for the categories of counterparties, customers and the nature of various facilities. A full study is completed for each client/customer using external data received from the Central bank of Egypt, I-score etc. For Corporate Clients, a full credit study is conducted based on qualitative and quantitative parameters that fully assess the client's creditworthiness. Each client is assigned a risk rating based on the in-depth credit study that accordingly leads to a specific provision coverage.

ECL Calculation

For all lending activities under the NBFI; forecasts are developed to assess whether there is a significant increase in credit risk and for the accurate estimation of the expected credit losses (ECL). Management determines the main economic variables that affect credit risk and expected credit losses for each credit portfolio by carrying out an analysis of historical data. The economic variables and the related effect on both Probability of Default (PD) and the Exposure at Default (EAD) and Loss Given Default (LGD) are different depending on the line of business and collateral/financial asset supporting the facility. This is further reviewed and validated by Group's Validation Unit for prudency that undergoes the below:

- Carries out the "regression analysis" to determine the impact of such economic variables on Probability of Default (PD). This allows the management to better understand the historical effects arising from such variables on the default rates and the inputs used in calculating the PD. Further to the key economic scenarios, the validation unit establishes other potential scenarios in addition to assumptions relating to each scenario separately.

- The lifetime probability of default (PD) relating to the key assumption and other assumptions are used, as the outcome of scenario weights are determined for each assumption with the related probabilities of each, in addition to the supporting indicators and qualitative indicators. Based on the results of such study, it is assessed whether this financial asset is located at the first, second or third level, on the basis of which it is determined whether the expected credit losses "ECL" will be computed on 12- month basis "12-month ECL" or over lifetime of the financial instrument "Lifetime ECL".

- The expectations and probabilities of occurrence are subject to a high degree of uncertainty, as it is known to any economic forecasts, therefore the actual results may be significantly different from those anticipated. The Validation unit makes the best estimate of these potential expectations and carries out an analytical study of the irrelevant and non -similar factors for the different credit portfolios to conclude appropriate assumptions for all possible scenarios this is also through the use of "Back-testing Methodology".

Modifications of facilities terms and rescheduling

Each subsidiary under NBFI may modify the terms of the facilities granted to the clients/customers due to commercial renegotiation or financial distress to increase the chances of recovery. The activities of restructuring include arrangements of extension of repayment terms, grace periods, exemption from repayment or some or full interests. Restructuring policies and practices are based on criteria that indicate that repayment is likely to continue. These policies are constantly reviewed.

Reduction and risk avoidance policies

Under NBFI, each subsidiary manages its own risk thresholds including but not limited to Credit limits, Group limits, concentration CAPs related to sectors, tenors, industries, countries, debtors etc.  Each subsidiary regulates the levels of acceptable credit risk by setting limits to the amount of risk that will be accepted. These risks are monitored constantly and are reviewed annually or on a recurring basis, when necessary. All thresholds are approved by the risk committee and BOD being the only body of authority allowed to approve alterations to previous CAP's.

Risk Measurement Model

All subsidiaries under NBFI are required to build up provisions in accordance with the instructions of creditworthiness and based on a specific formula set forth by the FRA that is based on the client's customer's repayment behaviour (Days Past Due-DPD). In the event that the required provisions in accordance with the rules of the FRA exceeds the expected credit losses calculated for the purposes of preparing the financial statements, the subsidiary is required to set aside a reserve with the difference between both calculations and this reserve is periodically adjusted by increase or decrease so that it is always equal to the amount of the increase between the two provisions, and this reserve is not distributable.

Credit risk (continued)

Following is a table showing provision calculation based on FRA for the various subsidiaries:

Leasing:

-     Regarding the Performing/Regular Clients, a minimum of 1% provision should be taken.

Level Delay Period in Days Category Provisioning Amount Comments
1 90 < days < 180 Follow up 10% of the uncovered amount of the asset N/A
2 180 < days < 275 Substandard 25% of the uncovered amount of the asset Non-Accrual/Marginalized interest
3 275 < days < 365 Doubtful 50% of the uncovered amount of the asset Non-Accrual/Marginalized interest
4 365 < days Inferior 100% of the uncovered amount of the asset Non-Accrual/Marginalized interest

-     Regarding the non-performing/irregular clients: they are defined as any client having overdue rentals exceeding 90 days whereby, the concept of "Cross default" will be applied across the portfolio for each client regardless of the repayment behaviour of individual contracts. 

Asset Shrinkage Margin
Asset class Asset value consideration after Shrinkage %
RE 80% from the current market value after the asset re-evaluation
PV &CV 70% from the current market value after the asset re-evaluation
All other Assets 50% from the current market value after the asset re-evaluation
Intangible Assets 0% not considered as a client balance coverage

-     Consequently, a provision % will be applied depending on the days past due (as found in the table below) on the Remaining and Uncovered O/S Dues[1] after applying shrinkage margins on Evaluated Assets.

-     All assets related to Non-Performing Leases must be re-evaluated every 6 months and above shrinkage margins to be applied based on each asset class. Asset Cost after Shrinkage is to be compared to the O/S Dues and the following action to be applied:

o  If Asset after Shrinkage > O/S Dues: then the normal provision rate (for performing loans) i.e., 1% is to be applied on the O/S Dues (O/S Principal + Overdue Rents and Corridor). 

o  If Asset after Shrinkage < O/S Dues: then the provision % (as found in above table) is to be applied on the uncovered portion of O/S dues. 

Factoring:

-     Regarding the Performing/Regular Clients, a minimum of 1% provision should be taken.

-     Regarding the non-performing/irregular clients the provisions calculation below should be implemented after excluding the portfolio that is secured by banks, correspondent factoring companies, credit insurance or any other securities accepted by the FRA. Provisions for irregular clients will be calculated as follows:

Overdue tenor Provision % Notes
From 60 days to 90 days 10% -
< 90 days to 120 days 25% -
< 120 days to 180 days 50% -
< 180 days to 365 days 70% Marginalizing interest
< 365 days 100% Marginalizing interest

SMEs:

-     Regarding the Performing/Regular Clients, a minimum of 1% provision should be taken after one year of getting the activity license.

-     Regarding the non-performing/ irregular clients: they are defined as any client having overdue instalments and consequently a provision % will be applied depending on the days past due as stipulated in the table below:  

Level Delay Period in Days Category Provisioning Amount Comments
1 ≥ 30 days and ≤90 days Requires Follow-up 10% Non-Accrual/Marginalized interest

Have delays from > 90 days and < 120 days 70%
More than 120 days 100%
Clients have deferred instalments (not exceeding 3 instalments) 10%
Rescheduled customers 50%

*The above excludes the case of a deceased customer whereby the full provision should be accounted for after excluding any insurance in favor of the Group (if available)

*The above provisions should be calculated on the full O/S dues related to the full facility of any customer and not only on the due instalment(s).

Consumer Finance:

-     Regarding the Performing/Regular Clients: a minimum of 1% provision should be taken for performing portfolio after one year of getting the activity license.

Market risk

Market risk is defined as the potential loss in both on and off-balance sheet positions resulting from movements in market risk factors such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, and equity prices.

Market risk is represented in the factors which affect values, earnings and profits of all securities negotiated in stock exchange or affect the value, earning and profit of a particular security.

According to the Group's investment policy, the following procedures are undertaken to reduce the effect of this risk.

-  Performing the necessary studies before investment decision to verify the merits of the investment.

- Diversification of investments in different sectors and industries.

- Performing continuous studies required to follow up the Group's investments and their development.

Foreign exchange risk

The investment bank operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures primarily with respect to the US dollar and other GCC currencies. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations.

Management requires investment bank companies to manage their foreign currency risk against their functional currency. Commercial transactions are conducted either in the functional currency of the investment bank country or in transaction currency.

The investment bank actively manages its currency exposure by holding different currency positions in accordance with the RAF and may use derivatives or hedging tools if needed. If the Egyptian pound had weakened/strengthened by 10% against the US dollar with all other variables held constant the Holding Company would have recognized gains or losses for the year as follows:

Year ended

Exposure to market risks- Trading Portfolios

Value at Risk is used to measure market risk exposure within the Group's trading portfolios which comprise of trading investments at fair value through profit or loss is Value at Risk ("VaR"). The VaR of a trading portfolio is the expected loss that will arise on a portfolio over a specified period of time (holding period) from an adverse market movement with a specified probability (confidence level). The VaR model uses historical simulation based on a 99% confidence level and assumes a 1-day holding period.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk stems from the sensitivity of earnings to future movements in interest rates applied on assets and liabilities. The Group's management closely monitors interest rate fluctuations on a continuous basis and ensures that assets and liabilities are matched and re-priced in a timely manner.

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as a result of mismatches or gaps in the amounts of assets and liabilities that mature or are re-priced in a given period. The most important source of interest rate risk derives from the lending, funding and investing activities, where fluctuations in interest rates are reflected in interest margins and earnings.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will be unable to meet its payment obligations when they fall due under normal and stress circumstances. To limit this risk, management has arranged diversified funding sources.

Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the bank and aggregated by the central treasury unit. The unit monitors the bank's liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its committed short-term facilities at all times so that the bank does not breach any capital adequacy rules.

Surplus cash held by the operating entities over and above balance required for working capital management are, with the input of central treasury, are either up streamed to the Holding Company invested in time deposits, money market accounts and investment funds.

Operational risk

Operational risk is the risk of direct or indirect loss due to an event or action causing failure of technology, process infrastructure, personnel, and other risks having an operational risk impact. The Group seeks to minimize actual or potential losses from operational risk failure through a framework of policies and procedures that identify, assess, control, manage, and report those risks.

Controls include effective segregation of duties, access, authorization and reconciliation procedures, staff education and assessment processes.

34.2 Risk management framework in Bank NXT

Credit risk

The Bank is exposed to credit risk which is the risk resulting from a party's failure to meet its contractual obligations towards the Bank. The credit risk is considered to be the most significant risk for the Bank, therefore requiring careful management. Credit risk is mainly represented in lending activities that give rise to loans, facilities and investment activities that result in the Bank's assets including debt instruments.

Credit risk exists also in financial instruments outside the financial position such as loan commitments. The financial risk management and control are centralized in a financial risk management team in the Bank's Risk Management Department which reports to the Board of Directors and head of each business unit regularly.

Loans and facilities to banks and customers (including commitments and financial guarantee contracts)

In measuring credit risk of Funded facilities to customers and to banks, the Bank's rating system is based on three key pillars:

-     Current exposures to the counterparty and its likely future development, from which the Bank derive the (exposure at default);

-     The risk of default failure (Loss given default); and

-     The probability of default by the customer or counterparty on its contractual obligations.

These credit risk measurements, are embedded in the Bank's daily operations which reflect expected loss through the expected loss model required by the Banking Supervision Committee, and the operational measures can contradict with the burden of impairment in accordance with the previous standards that depend on the losses that have realized on the date of the financial statements (realized loss model) and not the expected losses as will come after.

The Bank assesses the probability of default per each customer using internal rating techniques tailored to the various categories of customers. These techniques have been developed internally and the statistical analyses combine credit officers' personal judgment to reach the appropriate viability rating.

34  Financial risk management (continued)

34.2  Risk management framework in Bank NXT (continued)

Credit risk (continued)

Customers of the Bank are segmented into four viability rating classes. The Bank's viability rating scale, which is shown below, reflects the range of default probabilities defined for each rating class. This means that, in principle, credit positions migrate between classes as the assessment of their probability of default changes. The rating techniques are kept under review and are upgraded as necessary. The Bank regularly validates the performance of the viability rating techniques and their ability to predict cases of default.

Bank's internal rating classes Bank's rating Rating description
1 Performing debts
2 Standard monitoring
3 Special monitoring
4 Non- performing debts

The position exposed to default depends on the amounts expected by the Bank to be outstanding when default occurs. For example, for a loan, this position is the nominal value and for commitments, the Bank recognizes all amounts actually withdrawn in addition to other amounts that are expected to have been withdrawn up to the date of the delay if it occurs.

Loss given default or loss severity represents the Bank's expectation of the extent of loss on a claim should a default occur. It is expressed as percentage of loss to debt and typically varies by type of the debtor, seniority of claim and availability of collateral or other credit coverages.

Estimation of exposure to credit risks to manage the credit risks is a complex matter that requires the use of statistical and electronic models, as the level of exposure to credit risks changes depending on the changes in market conditions and other economic areas in a complex and rapid degree. The exposure to credit risk changes depending on the changes in the level, value and timing of expected cash flows and the passage of time. Accordingly, assessment of the credit risk of the assets portfolio requires further estimations of the probability of default and the related loss rates. The Bank measures credit risk losses by using the probability of default (default in contractual liabilities) based on the carrying amount balance of the financial instrument at the date of Exposure at Default and loss given default.

Classification of credit risks

The Bank assesses the probability of default at the level of each customer / related Group / credit product, by using techniques to classify the customers into different categories, taking into account the minimum rating in accordance with the CBE instructions in terms of determining the creditworthiness of the customers and making the provisions issued during the year 2005. Therefore, the Bank uses a Group of internally developed models and evaluation techniques for the categories of counterparties, customers and the nature of various loans in light of the available information that is collected on the date of adoption of the used model (such as: level of income, level of disposable income and guarantees for individual clients, revenues, type of industry, and other financial and non-financial indicators of the institutions). The Bank completes such indicators with a set of external data, such as the inquiry reports issued by both CBE and credit reporting companies on borrowers and the reports issued by the other local and external credit rating agencies. Moreover, the models used by the Bank allow the systematic exercise of expert assessment by credit risk officials in the final internal credit rating. Therefore, this allows to consider other matters and indicators that may not have been taken as part of other data inputs in the internally or externally developed assessment models and techniques or through external sources.

34  Financial risk management (continued)

34.2  Risk management framework in Bank NXT (continued)

Credit risk (continued)

Classification of credit risks (continued)

Credit grades are assessed so that the risk of default increases incrementally at each higher risk grade, namely the difference in default rates between the rating grade A and A- is less than the difference in default rates between rating grade B and B-. Additional considerations for each type of credit portfolio held by the Bank are set out below:

Individuals, retail banking products and small & micro enterprises

After the date of initial recognition, the borrower's payment behaviour is monitored periodically to calculate a measurement of the payment pattern. Any other information known about the borrower, supposed to be determined by the Bank, may have an impact the creditworthiness, such as unemployment rates and non- payment precedents, as they are included to measure the payment pattern and default rates are, accordingly, determined for each payment pattern measurement.

(Large & Medium) Enterprises and Companies

The rating is determined at the level of the borrower / Groups with similar credit risks. Any updated or new credit information or assessments are included in the credit system constantly and periodically. In addition, information about the creditworthiness of the borrower / Groups with similar credit risks is also updated periodically from other sources such as financial statements and other published financial and non-financial statements.

Debt Instruments, Treasury Bills and Government Bonds

The Bank uses the external ratings issued by the institutions mentioned in the CBE's instructions to manage the credit risk in terms of the debt instruments in the investment portfolio. These published classifications are monitored and updated regularly and periodically. The default rates associated with each rating are determined based on the rates realized over the previous twelve months, as published by the aforementioned rating agencies. The loss rate of the government and CBE debt instruments dominated in local currency is zero.

Future data used in the expected loss model

Future data is used in assessing whether there is a significant increase in the credit risk of financial instruments and estimating the expected credit losses (ECL). The management of Bank determines the main economic variables that affect credit risk and expected credit losses for each credit portfolio by carrying out an analysis of historical data. The economic variables and the related effect on both Probability of Default "PD" and the Exposure at Default "EAD" and Loss Given Default "LGD" are different depending on the financial asset. The Bank will use expert opinions regarding these assumptions and estimates, if necessary.

To determine the impact of such economic variables on both Probability of Default (PD), Exposure at Default (EAD) and Loss Given Default (LGD), the management of the Bank carries out the "regression analysis" to understand the historical effects arising from such variables on the default rates and the inputs used in calculating both Exposure at Default (EAD) and Loss Given Default (LGD). Further to the key economic scenarios, the management of Bank establishes other potential scenarios in addition to assumptions relating to each scenario separately.

Credit risk (continued)

Classification of credit risks (continued)

Future data used in the expected loss model (continued)

The lifetime probability of default (PD) relating to the key assumption and other assumptions are used, as the outcome of multiplication is determined for each assumption with the related probabilities of each, in addition to the supporting indicators and qualitative indicators. Based on the results of such study, it is assessed whether this financial asset is located at the first, second or third level, on the basis of which it is determined whether the expected credit losses "ECL" will be computed on 12- month bases "12-month ECL" or over lifetime of the financial instrument "Lifetime ECL".

The expectations and probabilities of occurrence are subject to a high degree of uncertainty, as it is known to any economic forecasts, therefore the actual results may be significantly different from those anticipated. The Bank makes the best estimate of these potential expectations and carries out an analytical study of the irrelevant and non -similar factors for the different credit portfolios to conclude appropriate assumptions for all possible scenarios.

Variable Economic Assumptions

The most significant assumptions that have an impact on the expected credit losses "ECL" are:

(i)    Consumption Pricing Indicators (CPI)

(ii)    Unemployment Rate

(iii)   Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

(iv)   Gross national saving/investment

(v)   Real available income

Classification of the instruments relating to the losses measured on basis of the similar Groups

For ECL provisions, Groups are classified on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics, as risk exposure within the Bank is homogeneous. When carrying out this classification, it is taken into consideration that there is sufficient information that enables the Bank to classify the Bank with statistical reliability. When sufficient information is not available, the Bank takes into consideration the complementary internal / external reference data.

Corporate loans

-     Probability of default model (S& P) is used.

-     A conciliation was made between "S&P" and "ORR".

-     The model was updated by some economic indicates to keep the probability of default in line with the clients existing in Egypt.

-     The model was updated by the ratios of change in the low credit rating of the other clients of the Bank for two years to keep the ratios of model default in line with the clients of the Bank.

Credit risk (continued)

Credit Guarantees

The Bank uses many policies and practices to limit the credit risks. The most widely adopted of these is the acceptability of collateral for debt instruments and loan commitments. The Bank has internal policies regarding classes of collateral that can be accepted to limit or decrease the credit risks.

The Bank accrues out an assessment of the guarantees that have been obtained when establishing these loans. This assessment is regularly assessed. The key types of guarantees are:

·       Cash and cash equivalent

·       Real estate mortgage

·       Derivatives margin agreement that has been signed with the Bank as a part of main offsetting agreements.

·       Commercial mortgages

·       Financial assets pledge such as debt instruments and equity instruments.

The guarantees held as collateral against the financial assets other than loans and facilities depend on the nature of the instrument, as debt securities, government bonds and other qualified bills are generally not secured, except for the asset-backed securities and similar instruments secured by portfolios of financial instruments. The derivatives are often secured.

The policies adopted by the Bank have not been changed significantly in terms of obtaining guarantees during the financial year, and there has been no change in the quality of those guarantees held by the Bank compared to the previous financial year.

The Bank closely monitors the guarantees held against the low - credit financial assets, as it is likely that the Bank will hold collateral to mitigate potential credit losses.

Written-off Financial Instruments (Loans)

The Bank excludes the financial assets that are still under compulsory collection for unpaid contractual amounts of the bad assets. The Bank seeks to fully recover some amounts legally due that were partially or fully written off due to the lack of a possibility of a full recovery.

Modifications of loans terms and rescheduling

The Bank sometimes modifies terms of the loans granted to the customers due to the commercial renegotiation or non-performing to increase the chances of recovery. The activities of restructuring include arrangements of extension of repayment terms, grace periods, exemption from repayment or some or full interests. Restructuring policies and practices are based on indicators or criteria that indicate - based on the discretion of management- that repayment is likely to continue. These policies are constantly reviewed.

Reduction and Risk Avoidance Policies

The Bank manages, limits, and controls the concentration of credit risks at the debtor level, Groups, industries, and countries. The Bank regulates the levels of acceptable credit risks by setting limits to the amount of risk that will be accepted at the level of each borrower, or Group of borrowers, and at the level of economic activities and geographical sectors.

34  Financial risk management (continued)

34.2  Risk management framework in Bank NXT (continued)

Credit risk (continued)

Reduction and Risk Avoidance Policies (continued)

These risks are monitored constantly and are reviewed annually or on a recurring basis, when necessary. Limits of the credit risks at the level of the borrower / bank, producer, sector, and country are quarterly approved by the Board of Directors.

Credit limits for any borrower, including banks, are divided into sub-limits that include the amounts on- and off- balance sheet, and the daily risk limit relating to trading items such as forward foreign exchange contracts. Actual amounts are compared with the daily limits. Exposure to credit risks is also managed through periodic analysis of the ability of borrowers and potential borrowers to meet the repayment of their liabilities and by amending lending limits, if appropriate.

Means of setting limits of to the risks are shown as following:

Guarantees

The Bank adopts many policies and controls to limit the credit risks. These means include the guarantees obtained against borrowed funds. The Bank sets guiding rules for specific acceptable classes of guarantees. The key types guarantee of loans and facilities are:

·       Real estate mortgages.

·       Mortgage of activity assets such as machinery and merchandise

·       Mortgage of financial instruments such as debt instruments and equity.

The financing is often granted in the longer term and loans to the companies are secured. In order to reduce the credit loss to a minimum, the Bank seeks to get additional guarantees from the concerned parties and when indicators of impairment are shown for a loan or facilities. The guarantees taken as collateral for assets other than loans and facilities are determined based on the nature of the instrument. Generally, the debt instruments and treasury bills are not secured, except for Groups of financial instruments covered by Asset-Backed Securities and similar instruments that are secured by a portfolio of financial instruments.

Derivatives

The Bank maintains strict control limits on net open derivative positions (i.e., the difference between purchase and sale contracts) by both amount and term. The amount exposed to credit risk, at any time, is determined at the fair value of the instrument that provides a benefit for the Bank, i.e. an asset with a positive fair value that represents a portion of the contractual / notional value used to express the size of the existing instruments. This credit risk exposure is managed as part of the overall lending limits with customers, together with potential exposures from market movements. Collateral or other security is not usually obtained for credit risk exposures on these instruments, except where the Bank requires margin deposits from counterparties.

Settlement risk arises in any situation where a payment in cash, securities or equities is made against the expectation of a corresponding receipt in cash, securities, or equities. Daily settlement limits are established for each counter party to cover the aggregate of all settlement risk arising from the Bank's market transactions on any single day.

Master Netting Arrangements

The Bank further restricts its exposure to credit losses by entering into master netting arrangements with counterparties with which it undertakes a significant volume of transactions. Master netting arrangements do not generally result in an offset of assets and liabilities shown in the balance sheet, as transactions are usually settled on a gross basis. However, the credit risk associated with favorable contracts is reduced by a master netting arrangement to the extent that if a default occurs, all amounts with the counterparty are terminated and settled on a net basis. The Bank's overall exposure to credit risk on derivative instruments subject to master netting arrangements can change substantially within a short year, as it is affected by each transaction subject to the arrangement.

34  Financial risk management (continued)

34.2  Risk management framework in Bank NXT (continued)

Credit risk (continued)

Credit Related Commitments

The main purpose of credit-related commitments is to ensure that funds are available to the customer on demand, and financial guarantee contracts carry a credit risk related to loans, and documentary and commercial credits issued by the Bank on behalf of the customer to grant a third party the right to withdraw from the Bank within certain amounts and under specific terms and conditions often secured against the goods being shipped and therefore carries a lower degree of risk than a direct loan.

Credit Related Commitments (continued)

Commitments to extend credit represent unused portions of authorizations to extend credit in the form of loans, guarantees or letters of credit. With respect to credit risk on commitments to extend credit, the Bank is potentially exposed to loss in an amount equal to the total unused commitments. However, the likely amount of loss is less than the total unused commitments, as most commitments to extend credit are contingent upon customers maintaining specific credit standards. The Bank monitors the term to maturity of credit commitments because longer-term commitments generally have a greater degree of credit risk than shorter-term commitments.

Expected Credit Loss Measurement Policy

The Bank's policy requires defining three stages for classifying financial assets that are measured at amortized cost, loan commitments and financial guarantees, as well as debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, according to changes in credit quality since the initial recognition, and then measuring (expected credit losses) in the value related to these instruments as follows:

The unimpaired financial asset is classified upon initial recognition in Stage 1 and credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis by the Bank's credit risk department.

If there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the financial asset is transferred to Stage 2 and the financial asset is not considered impaired at this stage (lifetime expected credit loss in the absence of credit impairment).

If there are indications of impairment in the value of the financial asset, it is transferred to Stage 3, and the Bank relies on the following indicators to determine whether there are objective evidence indicating.

· A significant increase in the rate of interest on the financial asset because of the increase in credit risk.

· Negative material changes in the activity and financial or economic conditions in which the borrower operates.

· A scheduling request because of difficulties facing the borrower.

· Negative material changes in actual or expected operating results or cash flows.

· Early signs of cash flow/liquidity problems such as delays in servicing creditors/business loans.

· Cancellation of a direct facility by the Bank due to the borrower's high credit risk.

General Bank Risk Measurement Model

The management performs classifications in the form of a more detailed sub-Group to comply with the requirements of the Central Bank of Egypt, and the assets exposed to credit risk are classified according to detailed rules and conditions that depend largely on the information related to the customer, his activity, his financial status, and the extent of his regularity of payment.

The Bank calculates the required provisions in accordance with the instructions of creditworthiness, on the basis of specific ratios by the Central Bank of Egypt, and in the event that the required provisions in accordance with the rules of the Central Bank of Egypt exceed the expected credit losses calculated for the purposes of preparing the financial statements, the general bank risk reserve is set aside within rights ownership with a discount on the distributable profits by the amount of that increase .

Credit risk (continued)

General Bank Risk Measurement Model (continued)

This reserve is periodically adjusted by increase or decrease so that it is always equal to the amount of the increase between the two provisions, and this reserve is not distributable.

Following is a table on the creditworthiness levels for institutions in accordance with the internal assessment bases compared to the Central Bank of Egypt assessment bases and the provision ratios required for the impairment of the assets exposed to credit risk:

Market risk

Market and liquidity risks are defined as the risks to which the bank is exposed because of maintaining certain positions considering changes or fluctuations in the markets in which the bank operates and not necessarily in which the bank is geographically located.

Market risks result from open positions for the purpose of trading, whether currency positions or investments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates, which affects the market value of those investments, and these effects are reflected in the income statement daily.

As for positions held for non-trading purposes that are sensitive to changes in interest rates, the effect of changes on the bank's capital is reflected.

Trading portfolios arise because of the bank's direct dealings with clients or with the market. While portfolios are created for non-trading purposes because of the bank's management of assets and liabilities and are primarily created through investments classified at amortized cost or through other comprehensive income.

Types of market risks:

These include interest rate risks, exchange rate risks, and liquidity risks. Below is an explanation of each category of market risk:

Interest rate risk:  The risks that arise from unfavorable movements in the prevailing interest rates in the market during a certain Year, which may negatively affect the bank's profitability or the economic value of its property rights, and thus its financial position.

Exchange rate risk: It is the risk of a change in the value of the investment due to change in the exchange rate. This also refers to the risks that the bank faces when it needs to close a long or short position in a foreign currency at a loss, due to the adverse movement in exchange rates.

Liquidity risk: It is a type of financial risk that involves the inability to trade financial assets on the market fast enough to influence the price of the market within a given time frame. This happens when there is insufficient market liquidity to make it simple to purchase or sell assets without having a big impact on their price.

Methods for measuring market risk:

Measuring Interest rate risk: Interest rate risks are divided into two types:

• Interest rate risks for positions held for non-trading purposes in the Banking Book, which result from the main activities of the bank that are not carried out for the purpose of trading.

• Additionally, interest rate risk in the trading portfolio, which arises from positions taken with the intention of trading in financial markets, is included in the guidelines for the minimum capital adequacy level under the market risk framework.

The sensitivity of the bank's profitability to interest rate movements in the short term is measured specifically through its impact on net interest income, although interest rate risks have an increasing impact on all of the bank's revenues, including revenues Other than net income from returns (such as commissions), the focus is It will be mainly based on net income from earnings (EAR).

The process of calculating the value of the capital required to meet the interest rate risk for positions held for non-trading purposes is carried out according to the standard method by following the following steps for each currency separately:

• A netting is made between assets and liabilities - including derivative contracts - that are sensitive to return rates in each Year to reach the net position (assets - liabilities).

• The net position for each time Year is multiplied by the discount factor for each Year, which is calculated according to the interest rates for each time Year based on the yield curve for each currency.

• To determine the economic value of the bank's equity prior to any shocks, a forced summation procedure is carried out (considering the signal to make a clearing between the surplus and deficit positions) of the weighted positions for the various time Years for each currency separately.

• The previous steps are repeated by the following 6 scenarios for the rise and fall of interest rates (according to the various changes in the interest curve) for each currency to arrive at the economic value of the bank's equity aftershocks.

34.2  Risk management framework in Bank NXT (continued)

Market risk (continued)

Measuring Exchange rate risk:

• The bank applies the value at risk (parametric VAR) method to estimate the market risk of existing positions and the maximum expected loss, based on several assumptions for various changes in market conditions. The value at risk (VAR) is a statistical prediction of the potential loss resulting from adverse market movements and expresses the maximum value that the bank can lose using a 99% confidence coefficient, meaning that there is a 1% probability that the actual loss will be greater than the value of the expected loss.

• The VAR model assumes a ten-day holding Year before closing open positions.

- Three steps to apply VAR as a measurement approach for foreign exchange risk and cost of capital:

1- The bank is expected to calculate its expected losses daily.

2- The bank compares the VAR value at the end of the month with the average daily VAR for 60 days and calculates the capital charge based on the larger value of the two.

3- To adequately calculate the cost of capital, the bank must conduct a back test by comparing actual daily losses with the calculated value of risk.

Market risk (continued)

Liquidity risk

It is a type of financial risk that involves the inability to trade financial assets on the market fast enough to influence the price of the market within a given time frame. This happens when there is insufficient market liquidity to make it simple to purchase or sell assets without having a big impact on their price.

Measuring Liquidity Risk:

-                                                                The bank prepares the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR), which aims to ensure that the bank maintains a sufficient amount of high-quality, unencumbered liquid assets to meet net cash outflows within 30 days.

- Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR): The Net Stable Funding Ratio represents the relationship between the available stable financing (ASF - Funding Stable Funding Required) (the numerator of the ratio) and the stable financing required (RSF - Funding Stable Required) (the denominator of the ratio), as the ratio works to confront the incompatibility of the financing structure. Long-term by urging the use of stable, long-term sources of funds for a Year extending for at least one year in order to cover investments in assets and any financing claims resulting from obligations outside the budget, which helps the bank to structure its sources of funds.

- On an individual basis (the bank's branches at home country and abroad) and on a combined basis (the banking group includes the bank and all its branches at its home country and abroad and all affiliated financial companies with the exception of insurance companies) on a monthly basis gradually for both the local currency and foreign currencies separately, and 100% must be adhered to as a limit Lowest LCR & NSFR ratios.

-  In case of having a deficit in the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR), sources of funds are provided equivalent to the amount of the deficit in the level of high-quality liquid assets, and they are invested within those assets.

- In case of a deficit in the Net Stable Financing Ratio (NSFR), the bank creates capital equivalent to the amount of the deficit in the ratio as additional capital in the capital base, which leads to compliance with the specified limit for the Net Stable Financing Ratio. 

The bank calculates the liquidity ratio for both local currency and foreign currencies (keeping the minimum for each of them at 20% and 25%, respectively), where the ratio is calculated on the basis of the daily average of the actual working days during the month.

Liquidity Gap:

The liquidity risk control processes implemented by the bank's Asset and Liabilities Department include the following:

- The liquidity gap occurs when there are differences between the maturity dates and the maturity scale for assets and liabilities. Gap analysis includes evaluating the difference between the maturity dates of assets and liabilities (Liquidity Mismatch).

-The bank prepares a monthly report to monitor market risks and prepare reports on net liquidity gap positions, liquidity gap limits, and liquidity ratio limits.

The following table represent the analysis of the Bank's liquidity coverage ratio:

Capital management

The Bank's objectives on managing capital, which include other elements in addition to the equity shown in the balance sheet, are as follows:

-   Compliance with the legal requirements of capital in the Arab Republic of Egypt.

-   Protecting the Bank's ability to continue as a going concern and enabling it to continue generating income for shareholders and other parties dealing with the Bank.

-   Maintaining a strong capital base that supports the growth of activity.

The capital adequacy and capital uses are daily reviewed according to the requirements of the Central Bank of Egypt by the Bank's management, through forms based on the guidelines of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision. The required data are submitted and provided to the Central Bank of Egypt on a quarterly basis.

The Central Bank of Egypt requires the Bank to do the following:

-       Maintain 5 billion Egyptian pounds as a minimum for issued and paid-up capital.

-       Maintain a ratio equal to or more than 12.5% between the elements of capital and the elements of assets and contingent liabilities weighted by risk weights.

In accordance with the requirements of the Central Bank of Egypt to update the position of the banking sector with regard to the capital adequacy ratio according to Basel II decisions.

The numerator of the capital adequacy ratio consists of the following two tiers:

Tier I after disposals includes the following:

Some of the items that will be deducted/ will not be considered and mentioned in the "supervisory instructions on the minimum ratio of capital adequacy", Chapter II on the capital base will be dealt with later as stated in the instructions.

- Continuing core capital after disposals (CET1-Common Equity).

- Additional core capital

There are some items that will be deducted/ not considered and mentioned in the "supervisory instructions on the minimum ratio of capital adequacy", Chapter II on the capital base. These items are deducted from the continuous core capital if the balance is negative, while they are not considered if it is positive.

Tier II after disposals

It includes 45% of the special reserve, loans and subordinated deposits within the limits of the prescribed percentage, as well as the considerable provisions required against the debt instruments, loans, credit facilities and contingent liabilities included in the first stage (Stage 1).

The capital adequacy ratio model includes some important notes and points which are as follows:

1.  Reserves: include legal, general, statutory, supportive and capital reserves only.

2.  The "general risk reserve" is formed on the beginning date of the application of International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS 9), in accordance with the supervisory instructions issued to banks on 26 January 2019. It includes the special reserve - credit, the general bank risk reserve - credit and the reserve risk of standard (9), considering that in the subsequent periods of application, the Bank shall abide by what is stated within the instructions on minimum capital adequacy ratio "which is not to consider the bank risk reserve when calculating the ratio."

Capital risk (continued)

The numerator of the capital adequacy ratio consists of the following two tiers (continued):

Tier II after disposals (continued)

3.  The values of accumulated other comprehensive income items, whether they are positive or negative, are considered.

4.  Interim profits/ (losses): It is allowed to record the net interim profits within the capital base after the limited inspection report prepared by the auditor on the Bank's financial statements on a quarterly basis. As for the interim losses, they are presented without any conditions.

5.  It does not include the part related to credit, and the explanatory instructions of the rules on the preparation and presentation of the financial statements issued by the Central Bank in April 2009, page 7, item (9) must be perused.

6.  It should not exceed 1.25% of total assets and contingent liabilities weighted for credit risk, provided that the required provisions against debt instruments, loans, credit facilities and contingent liabilities included in the Stage 2 and Stage 3 are sufficient to meet the obligations for which the provision is formed.

7.  "The value of exceeding the limits set for investments in countries, weighted by risk weights."

8.  This value must be included in accordance with Form No. 720 related to investments in countries abroad, taking into account that the value of the capital base listed in the aforementioned statement must be adjusted according to the calculated value.

·   The continuing core capital after the regulatory adjustments is Clause 1.1 before excluding contributions to financial companies (shares or investment funds) represented in Clause 1.3.1.1.

·   Continuing core capital before regulatory adjustments means paid-up capital, reserves, retained earnings, general risk reserve, and accumulated other comprehensive income items net of goodwill and treasury shares.

·   Subordinated loans (deposits): provided that they do not exceed 50% of Tier I after disposals and that 20% of its value is consumed in each of the last five years.

Financial leverage ratio

The Board of Directors of the Central Bank of Egypt, in its session held on 7 July, issued a decision approving the supervisory instructions related to the financial leverage, besides the banks' compliance with the stipulated minimum percentage (3%) on a quarterly basis, as follows:

- As an indicative percentage as of the end of December 2015 until the year 2017.

- As a compulsory supervisory percentage as of 2018.

This is in preparation for the consideration of it within the first pillar of Basel decisions (the minimum capital adequacy ratio) for maintaining the strength and integrity of the banking sector and keeping pace with the best international control practices in this regard.

The financial leverage reflects the relationship between Tier I of capital used in capital adequacy ratio (after disposals) and the Bank's assets (inside and outside the balance sheet) unweighted with risk weights.

This is in preparation for considering their acceptance as part of the first pillar of the Basel Accords (the minimum capital adequacy standard) with the aim of maintaining the strength and stability of the banking system and aligning with the best international supervisory practices in this regard.

The leverage ratio reflects the relationship between capital tier one used in the capital adequacy standard (after disposals) and the bank's assets (on and off the balance sheet) unweighted with risk weights.

35  Fair values and classifications of financial assets and liabilities

Financial instruments measured at fair value

Bank balances

The fair value of one-day variable-rate placements and deposits represent their present value, and the expected fair value of variable-rate deposits is estimated based on the discounted cash flows using the interest rate prevailing in the capital markets for debts that have similar credit risk and maturity date.

Loans and facilities to banks

Loans and facilities to banks represent loans other than bank deposits. The expected fair value of loans and facilities is the discounted value of future cash flows expected to be collected and the cash flows are discounted using the current market interest rate for determining the fair value to determine the fair value to meet all the requirements. This includes replacement of funds on maturity or upon being lent to customers. The Bank is present in global money markets to achieve this objective.

Funded facilities to customers

They are recognized at net value after deduction of provision for impairment loss. The expected fair value for these loans and facilities represents the discounted value of estimated future cash flows expected to be collected. Cash flows are deducted using the current interest rate in the market to specify the fair value.

Investments in securities

Assets through other comprehensive income or profit or loss are carried at fair value. The fair value is determined based on market prices. If such data is not available, fair value is estimated using prices of capital markets for traded securities with similar credit characteristics, dates of maturity and rates.

Due to other banks and customers

The estimated fair value of deposits with undefined maturity date including interest bearing deposits is the amount to be paid upon request. The fair value of fixed interest deposits and non-current other loans are determined in an active market based on discounted cash flows using the interest rate on new debts with similar maturity dates.

Issued debt Instruments

Total fair value is calculated based on prices ruling in the capital markets. For securities with no active markets, discounted cash flow model is used based on the current rate appropriate with the remaining period to date of maturity.

Financial instruments not measured at fair value

Financial investments at amortized cost

They include held-to-maturity financial investments that are listed in the market and are measured at amortized cost in case of bonds, and with respect to investment funds, the evaluation is done at the recoverable amount (fair value).

Management believes that the fair value is not materially different from the carrying amount of these assets.

Due from banks

The fair value of one-day variable-rate placements and deposits represent their present value, and the expected fair value of variable-rate deposits is estimated based on the discounted cash flows using the interest rate prevailing in the capital markets for debts that have similar credit risk and maturity date.

35  Fair values and classifications of financial assets and liabilities (continued)

Loans and facilities to banks

Loans and facilities to banks represent loans other than bank deposits. The expected fair value of loans and facilities is the discounted value of future cash flows expected to be collected and the cash flows are discounted using the current market interest rate for determining the fair value. Loans and facilities are presented net of provision for impairment losses.

Fair value measurement - fair value hierarchy:

The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities that are traded in active markets are based on quoted market prices or dealer price quotations. For all other financial instruments, the Group determines fair values using other valuation techniques.

For financial instruments that trade infrequently and have little price transparency fair value is less objective, and requires varying degrees of judgment depending on liquidity, concentration, uncertainty of market factors, pricing assumptions another risks affecting the specific instrument.

Fair values of financial instruments

a) Valuation models

The Group measures fair values using the following fair value hierarchy, which reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. Th Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values.

This includes a valuation team that has overall responsibility for overseeing a significant fair value measurements, including level 3 fair values, and report to the management.

The valuation team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs an valuation adjustments.

If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then the valuation team assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of IFRS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.

Significant valuation issues are reported to the Group Audit Committee. When measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Group uses mark observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorized into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows.

Level 1: inputs that are quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets of identical instruments.

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derive from prices). This category includes instruments valued using: quoted market prices in active markets for similar instruments; quoted price for identical or similar instruments in markets that are considered less than active; or other valuation techniques in which all significant inputs are directly or indirectly observable from market data.

Level 3: inputs that are unobservable. This category includes all instruments for which the valuation technique includes inputs not based on observable data and the unobservable inputs have a significant effect on the instrument's valuation. This category includes instruments that are valued based on quoted prices for similar instruments for which significant unobservable adjustments or assumptions are required to reflect differences between the instruments.

36  Subsequent events

In late February 2026, the US and Israeli hostilities against Iran escalated materially. Public market and specialist reports indicate that commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz - a chokepoint that normally carries around one fifth of global oil and a significant share of Liquefied Natural Gas flows - has been severely disrupted, with tanker traffic largely paused and war risk insurance premiums elevated. Spot crude benchmarks exhibited sharp volatility during March 2026, with intraday Brent prices briefly approaching $100-$119/bbl, while major carriers rerouted or suspended certain Middle East services as security conditions deteriorated.

These developments arose after 31 December 2025 and therefore represent a non-adjusting subsequent event under IAS 10 (Events after the Reporting Period). The Group has not adjusted the amounts recognized in these 2025 financial statements. Management is monitoring second order effects on clients and portfolios - including market valuations - and has activated the assessment of enhanced monitoring of credit risk (ECL overlays) and fair value sensitivities for 2026 internal reporting cycles.

While the situation remains fluid and may affect the Group's financial performance and risk profile during 2026, management has not identified a material uncertainty that would cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. The Group will continue to reassess macroeconomic assumptions including market liquidity) and update internal overlays as appropriate.

Given the evolving circumstances and depending on how quickly this on conflict can be resolved, the financial effect of these events cannot be reliably quantified at this time.
