Independent Auditors' Report on Review of Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
To the Shareholders of Orascom Construction PLC
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying 31 March 2026 interim consolidated financial statements of Orascom Construction PLC ("the Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "the Group"), which comprises:
- the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2026;
- the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the three month period ended 31 March 2026
- the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the three month period ended 31 March 2026;
- the consolidated statement of cash flows for the three month period ended 31 March 2026; and
- notes to the interim consolidated financial statements.
Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting'. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim consolidated financial statements based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

3. New accounting standards and policies
The accounting policies applied in these interim consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied in the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2025.
4. Critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
There were no significant changes in critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions compared to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 except for the following in respect of investment acquired during the period:
Fair value of unlisted equity investment
The investment is measured at fair value based on the net asset value (NAV) reported by the fund manager, in accordance with IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement and is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
Management has assessed the NAV as an appropriate estimate of fair value by reviewing the valuation basis applied by the fund manager, including whether the underlying investments are measured at fair value in accordance with IFRS, and considering the latest available financial information of the fund. Management has also considered whether any factors exist that would require adjustments to the NAV, such as restrictions on redemption or significant timing differences.
Based on this assessment, management concluded that the reported NAV is representative of fair value at the reporting date and no adjustments were required.

5. Financial risk and capital management
Overview
The Group has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
- Credit risk
- Liquidity risk
- Market risk
These risks arise from exposures that occur in the normal course of business and are managed on a consolidated company basis. This note presents information about the Group's exposure to each of the above risks, the Group's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Group's management of capital.
Risk management framework
Senior management has an overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management framework. The Board is responsible for developing and monitoring the Group's risk management policies.
The Group's risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Group, to set appropriate risk limits and controls and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Group's activities. The Group through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.
The Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Group's risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Group. The Audit Committee is assisted in its oversight role by the Internal Audit Department. The Internal Audit Department undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the Audit Committee.
5.1 Exposure to credit risk
The Group establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of expected losses in respect of trade and other receivables. The main components of this allowance are a specific loss component that relates to individually significant exposures. The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. With respect to transactions with financial institutions, the group sets limits to the credit worthiness rating of the counterparty. The maximum credit risk is the carrying amount of financial instruments, for an overview, reference is made to the tables of financial instruments by category.
The major exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was as follows:
| 5 millions | Note | 31 March 2026 | 31 December 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trade and other receivables (excluding prepayments and supplier and subcontractor advance payments) | (8) | 1,435.2 | 1,321.0 |
| Contract work in progress | (12) | 705.3 | 807.8 |
| Cash and cash equivalents (excluding cash on hand) | (14) | 1,204.5 | 1,368.0 |
| Total | 3,345.0 | 3,496.8 |
The major exposure to credit risk for trade and other receivables by geographic region was as follows:

| Asia and Oceania | 25.8 | 20.8 |

| Total | | 936.5 | (12.8) |
*Based on the Group's assessment, the ECL impairment loss on trade receivables is immaterial to the interim consolidated financial statements.
5.2 Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation. This is also safeguarded by using multiple financial institutions in order to mitigate any concentration of liquidity risk.
The availability of cash is monitored internally at Group level, on an ongoing basis by the corporate treasury department. In addition management prepared at closing date a cash flow projection to assess the ability of the Group to meet its obligations.
The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments and exclude the impact of netting arrangements.

5.3 Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates will affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk arising in separate ways:
Foreign exchange translation exposure
Due to the Group's international presence, OC PLC's Financial Statements are exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations as these affect the translation of the subsidiaries' assets and liabilities presented in foreign currencies to the US dollar (the Group's presentation currency). The currencies concerned are mainly Egyptian Pound and Euro. Foreign exchange translation exposure is considered a part of doing business on an international level; this risk is not actively managed, nor is it hedged.
Exchange rates used by the Group in the consolidated financial statement are based on the prevailing exchange rates in the market at the time of transactions.
OC PLC is not exposed to Saudi Riyal, UAE Dirham and Qatar Riyal. These currencies are pegged to the US dollar.
The Group entities predominantly execute their activities in their respective functional currencies. Some Group subsidiaries are, however, exposed to foreign currency risks in connection with the scheduled payments in currencies that are not their functional currencies. In general this relates to foreign currency denominated supplier payables due to project procurement, capital expenditures and receivables. The Group monitors the exposure to foreign currency risk arising from operating activities.
The Group is exposed to foreign exchange transaction exposure to the extent that there is a mismatch between the currencies in which sales, purchases and borrowings are denominated and the respective functional currencies of Group companies. The functional currencies of Group companies are primarily Euro, US Dollar, Egyptian Pound, Saudi Riyal, Algerian Dinar and UAE Dirham.
The Group uses foreign exchange contracts to manage its foreign exchange transaction exposure. No hedge accounting is applied; therefore all fair value changes are recognised in profit and loss.
The summary of quantitative data about the Group's exposure to foreign exchange transaction exposure provided to management of the Group based on its risk management policy for the main currencies was as follows:
| At 31 December 2025
$ millions | EUR | EGP |

Orascom Construction PLC
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in EUR and EGP exchange rates, with all other variables held constant. The impact on the Group's profit before tax is due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities, including inter company positions. The Group's exposure to foreign currency changes for all other currencies is not material.
As of 31 March 2026, if the functional currencies had strengthened/weakened by 10 percent against the Euro and 10 percent against the Egyptian Pound with all other variables held constant, the translation of foreign currency receivables, cash and cash equivalents, payables and loans and borrowings that would have resulted in an increase/decrease of USD 66.9 million of the profit / loss of the three month period ended 31 March 2026 (31 December 2025: USD 45.8 million).
| 31 December 2025
$ millions | Change in FX rate | Effect on profit before tax | Effect on equity |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |

$ millions | Change in FX rate | Effect on profit before tax | Effect on equity |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| EUR - USD | 10% | 31.7 | 31.7 |
| EGP - USD | 10% | 35.2 | (35.4) |
- Determined based on the volatility of last year for the respective currencies.
In addition, for financial assets and liabilities denominated in USD held by entities whose functional currencies are other than USD, a 10% change in the USD exchange rate would result in an effect on profit or loss and equity of approximately USD 41.0 million for the three month period 31 March 2026 (31 December 2025: USD 50.0 million).
Interest rate risk
The Group's cash flow interest rate risks arise from the exposure to variability in future cash flows of floating rate financial instruments, i.e. floating rate borrowings amounting to USD 330.5 million (31 December 2025: USD 314.9 million). The Group reviews its exposure in light of global interest rate environment after consulting with a consortium of global banks.
The Group calculates the impact on profit or loss of a defined interest rate shift. The same interest rate shift is used for all currencies. The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that portion of borrowings affected. With all other variables held constant, the Group's profit before tax is affected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, as follows:
As of 31 March 2026, if the interest rate had strengthened/weakened by 10 percent with all other variables held constant, the interest cost that would have resulted in an increase/decrease of USD 1.7 million of the profit of the three month period ended 31 March 2026 (31 December 2025: USD 9.2 million).
| 31 March 2026
$ millions | Change in interest rate | 31 March 2026 | 31 December 2025 |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Effect on profit before tax | 10% increase | (1.7) | (9.2) |
| | 10% decrease | 1.7 | 9.2 |
Equity price risk
The Group's equity price risk arises from its investment in an unlisted limited partner interest classified as Investment in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). The investment is not quoted in an active market and is measured based on the net asset value (NAV) reported by the fund manager. The Group reviews its exposure on a periodic basis, including assessment of the performance of the underlying investment and the valuation reports provided by the fund manager.
The Group calculates the impact on profit or loss of a defined change in the net asset value of the underlying investment. The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in the NAV, with all other variables held constant. As the investment is classified at FVTPL, changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of 31 March 2026, if the NAV had strengthened/weakened by 5 percent with all other variables held constant, the fair value change that would have resulted in an increase/decrease of USD 6.9 million in profit before tax for the three month period ended 31 March 2026 (31 December 2025: Nil).

| 5% decrease | (6.9) | - |
The Group's exposure to equity price risk is concentrated in a single unlisted investment. This concentration increases the sensitivity of profit or loss to changes in the NAV of the underlying investment.

UAE Corporate Tax and Minimum Top-up Tax
The UAE has enacted the Pillar Two legislation by way of a Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax ("DMTT") that became effective from 1 January 2025. OC PLC is considered to be in scope of the Pillar Two rules.
OC PLC has assessed the impact of the UAE DMTT for interim reporting for the constituent entities. Based on the assessment, the Group is not liable for any DMTT as the UAE Group meets the transitional safe harbours (routine profit test) at reporting date.
Management is closely monitoring further developments that could impact its overall Pillar Two tax position on a going-forward basis. OC PLC applies the IAS 12 exception to recognising and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities
The majority of the deferred tax assets of USD 75.6 million (31 December 2025: USD 80.3 million) relates to carried forward tax losses. The deferred tax assets recognized in the statement of financial position is expected to be realized in the period 2026 - 2031.
Deferred tax assets have not been recognized in respect to the carried forward tax losses amounting to USD 587.3 million with a tax effect of USD 152.7 million. The deferred tax was not recognized since the Group assessed that it is not probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the Group can use the benefits therefrom. These tax losses will expire as follows:

The Group determines and presents operating segments on the information that internally is provided to the Chief Executive Officer during the year. The Group has three reportable segments, as described below. Each of the segments is managed separately because they require different operating strategies and use their own assets and employees. Factors used to identify The Group's reportable segments, are a combination of factors and whether operating segments have been aggregated and types of products and services from which each reportable segment derives its revenues.

27. Contingencies
27.1 Contingent liabilities
27.1.1 Letters of guarantee / letters of credit
Letters of guarantee issued by the banks for the Group as at 31 March 2026 amount to USD 2,487.3 million (31 December 2025: USD 2,552.6 million). Outstanding letters of credit as at 31 March 2026 (uncovered portion) amount to USD 41.7 million (31 December 2025: USD 51.2 million).
As of 31 March 2026, mechanic liens have been received in respect of our US projects for a total of USD 14.8 million (31 December 2025: USD 15.1 million).
27.1.2 Litigations and claims
The Group entities and joint ventures, are engaged in various legal disputes, acting either as defendants or claimants. These cases are closely monitored by management and legal counsel, who evaluate them for potential impacts, taking into account possible insurance recoveries and third-party claims. Provisions for potential financial impacts from unfavorable outcomes are recognized in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the requirements of IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, and Contingent Assets", specifically under note 20 'Provisions'. However, due to uncertainties such as potential new lawsuits, settlements, or court decisions, the Group cannot determine any additional financial loss with certainty. Despite this, based on legal consultations, the management believes these legal matters will not substantially affect the Group's financial position as of 31 March 2026, though they may significantly impact operational results or cash flows in specific periods.
Furthermore, the Group faces potential claims from customers and claims from subcontractors and accordingly sets aside adequate provisions, with these reserves being periodically reviewed to account for any significant claims or litigation risks. Legal assessments suggest that these provisions are sufficient, and no significant additional cash outflows are anticipated beyond what has already been accounted for. In adherence to IAS 37 guidelines on "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities, and Contingent Assets," the Group has chosen not to disclose full details of these legal disputes. This decision is driven by the belief that such disclosures could compromise the Group's position in ongoing and contested legal matters, prioritizing the protection of their legal strategy while managing litigation risks within the framework of IAS 37.
27.1.3 Sidra Medical Center
The contract for the design and build of the Sidra Medical and Research Centre in Doha, Qatar, was awarded by Qatar Foundation for Education, Science & Community Development (the "Foundation") in February 2008 to Obrascon Huarte Lain (55%) and Contrack Cyprus Limited (45%), hereinafter referred to as the "JV", for a total contract value of approximately USD 2.4 billion. Contrack Cyprus Limited is ultimately wholly owned by OC PLC.
In July 2014, when the project was approx. 95% complete, the JV received a Notice of Termination from the Foundation. The Foundation also commenced arbitration proceedings against the JV by serving a Request for Arbitration with the ICC (seat in London).
On 1 July 2025, the ICC issued an award (on all claims other than costs and interest) in the case which, in addition to confirming the Foundation's entitlement to keep the amounts received in 2014 with the encashment of the JV's guarantees, finds the JV liable to pay the Foundation the net sum of QAR 104,622,023 (equivalent to US$ 28.7 million). The JV and QF filed Applications for Correction on this award.
On 27 November 2025, the Tribunal issued an addendum to the 12th Partial Award, reducing the JV's liability to QAR 3.9 million (equivalent to US$ 1 million). Contrack Cyprus is liable to pay 45% of that sum and has sufficient cash to meet this obligation. The necessary provisions were created in relation to the award issued.
The arbitral tribunal has now ruled on all claims submitted by the parties except for interest and legal costs. An award for interest and legal costs is expected in the fourth quarter of 2026 or early 2027.
In August 2017, the Foundation again served a Request for Arbitration, this time in parallel proceedings against OCI SAE with the ICC (seat in London). This arbitration is on hold since March 2020 pending decision in the main arbitration in the paragraph above.
27.1.4 Besix Claims
Besix Group is exposed to an employment-related legal case through one of its regional subsidiaries in Belgium. No provision has been recognised in its consolidated financial statements, as the financial impact cannot be reliably estimated.
27.1.5 USA Claims
In addition to the cases identified above, the Group is involved in other disputes of a lower value, namely in the United States, either as defendants or claimants. Provisions are considered in the Group's accounts when deemed appropriate.

33. Ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East
The recent regional military escalations have triggered a high-risk conflict environment across the Gulf. The situation is still very fluid, and scenarios can shift very quickly. The escalations have brought about additional uncertainties in the Group's operating environment, including Group's operations in UAE and KSA. With respect to interim consolidated financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2026, the potential financial reporting effects of the conflict are considered to be non-adjusting in nature.
The Group has been closely monitoring the impact of recent developments on its businesses. However, considering that the majority of the Group's operations are located outside the conflict area, management has concluded that there has been no material impact on the Group's operations, financial performance, or financial position, and therefore no contingency measures have been required to put in place.
As far as the Group's businesses are concerned, the current developments have not resulted in any significant operational disruptions, delays in constructions or in delivery to customers, or material impact on the repayment abilities of debtors. Accordingly, there has been no material impact on revenues, expected credit losses, or the recoverability of non-financial assets, and the Group does not anticipate any risk of breaching its financial covenants as a result of these developments. As the situation is fast evolving and fluid, the effect of the escalations is subject to significant levels of uncertainty, with the full range of possible effects unknown.
Management will continue to monitor the situation closely; however as at the reporting date, no material financial impact has been identified.

Independent Auditors' Report on Review of Separate Interim Financial Statements
To the Shareholders of Orascom Construction PLC
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying 31 March 2026 separate interim financial statements of Orascom Construction PLC ("the Company"), which comprises:
- the separate statement of financial position as at 31 March 2026;
- the separate statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the three month period ended 31 March 2026
- the separate statement of changes in equity for the three month period ended 31 March 2026;
- the separate statement of cash flows for the three month period ended 31 March 2026; and
- notes to the separate interim financial statements.
Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these separate interim financial statements in accordance with IAS 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting'. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these separate interim financial statements based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Notes to the separate interim financial statements
(forming part of the separate interim financial statements)
1 Legal status and principal activities
Orascom Construction PLC (“OC PLC” or the “Company”) is a public company limited by shares, continued pursuant to the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) Companies Regulations 2020 (as amended) with registered number 31025. The Company is deemed to have been continued in the ADGM effective 30 October 2025, from the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), United Arab Emirates, where it was formerly registered as Orascom Construction PLC under registered number 1752. The Company’s registered head office is located at 1501, F15, Tamouh Tower, Al Reem Island, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The Company’s ordinary shares are dual listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) and the Egyptian Exchange (EGX) (previously dual listed on NASDAQ Dubai and the Egyptian Exchange).
OC PLC was originally incorporated on 18 January 2015 as Orascom Construction Limited, a private company limited by shares under the laws of the DIFC, and was subsequently converted into a public company pursuant to DIFC Law No. 5 of 2018. On 30 October 2025, the Company completed its transfer of incorporation from the DIFC to the ADGM, continuing as a company registered under the ADGM Companies Regulations.
The principal activity of the Company is holding investments.

Use of estimates and judgments
In preparing these separate interim financial statements management has made judgements, and estimates about the future, that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimate.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
In particular, information about significant areas of assumptions, estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the separate interim financial statements are discussed in note 20.
3 Material accounting policies
The accounting policies set out below, which comply with IFRS accounting standards, have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these separate financial statements in dealing with items which are considered material in relation to these separate interim financial statements.
Financial instruments
i. 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 Company 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 fair value through profit or loss (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.
ii. Classification and subsequent measurement
Financial assets
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortised cost; fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) – debt investment; FVOCI – equity investment; or fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”).

3 Material accounting policies (continued)
Financial instruments (continued)
ii. Classification and subsequent measurement (continued)
Financial assets (continued)
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company 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 amortised 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 Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in OCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis.
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.
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.

3 Material accounting policies (continued)
Financial instruments (continued)
ii. Classification and subsequent measurement (continued)
Financial assets (continued)
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Company 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 Company 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 Company’s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. non-recourse features).
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 or losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.
Financial assets at amortized cost
These assets including derivative financial 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 losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities – Classification, subsequent measurement and gains and losses
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised 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 amortised 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.

iii. Derecognition
Financial assets
The Company 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 Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.
The Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised in its separate 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 Company derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled or expire. The Company 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.
iv. Offsetting
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the separate statement of financial position when, and only when, the Company 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.
Impairment
i. Non-derivative financial assets
The Company recognises loss allowances for ECLs on loans due from related parties, amounts due from related parties, other receivables and cash at banks.
The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, except for the following, which are measured at 12-month ECLs:
- 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.
Loss allowances for loans due from related parties, amounts due from related parties and other receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.

Orascom Construction PLC
Notes (continued)
3 Material accounting policies (continued)
Impairment (continued)
i. Non-derivative financial assets (continued)
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Company 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 Company’s historical experience and informed credit assessment that includes forward-looking information.
The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when:
- the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full, without recourse by the Company to actions such as realising security (if any is held); or
- the financial asset is more than 90 days past due.
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 Company is exposed to credit risk.
Credit-impaired financial assets
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortised 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;
- the restructuring of a loan or advance by the Company on terms that the Company would not consider otherwise; or
- it is probable that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation.
Measurement of ECLs
ECLs are a 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 Company expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
Presentation of allowance for ECL in the separate statement of financial position
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.

Impairment (continued)
i. Non-derivative financial assets (continued)
Presentation of allowance for ECL in the separate statement of financial position (continued)
For debt securities at FVOCI, the loss allowance is charged to profit or loss and is recognised in OCI.
Write-off
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. The Company 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 Company’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.
ii. Non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
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.
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.
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 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.
Investment in subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The Company 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. Investment in subsidiaries is stated at cost less provision for impairment, if any.

3 Material accounting policies (continued)
Share premium and treasury shares
Share premium is the excess amount received over the par value of the shares. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are recognised in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. When ordinary shares are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly attributable costs, net of tax effects, is classified as treasury shares on the statement of changes in equity. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount received is recognised as a decrease in treasury shares, and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is presented in share premium.
Retained earnings
The amount included in retained earnings includes accumulated profits and reduced by dividends, and also include transfers of share premium. Dividends are recognised as a liability and deducted from equity when they are approved by the Company’s shareholders. Dividends for the year that are approved after the reporting date are dealt with as an event after the reporting date. Retained earnings may also include effect of changes in accounting policy as may be required by the standard’s transitional provisions.
Finance income
Finance income include interest income on loans due from related parties, net foreign exchange gain, interest from bank balances. Interest income is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest rate method.
Finance expense
Finance expense include interest on finance lease, interest expense on loans due to related parties, and bank charges. Interest expense is recognised as it accrues, using the effective interest rate method.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise bank balances and deposits with maturities of three months or less from the acquisition date (original maturity) that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in their fair value and are used by the Company in the management of its short-term commitments.
Provisions
A provision is recognised in the separate statement of financial position when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Derivative financial instruments
The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to interest rate risk and foreign exchange rate risk, including foreign exchange forward contracts. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value at the date the derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting date. The resulting gain or loss is recognised in the separate statement of profit or loss immediately, unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event the timing of the recognition in the separate statement of profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship. The Company designates derivatives as hedges of interest rate risk and foreign currency risk of firm commitments (cash flow hedges). A derivative with a positive fair value is recognised as a financial asset; a derivative with a negative fair value is recognised as a financial liability.

Foreign currencies
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into functional currency of the Company at the exchange rates at the dates of the transaction.
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 generally recognised in profit or loss.
Short term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Income tax
Income taxes have been provided for in the financial statements in accordance with legislation enacted at the reporting date in the United Arab Emirates, where the Company operates and generates taxable income. The income tax charge comprises current tax and deferred tax, recognised in statement of profit or loss and comprehensive income for the year.
Current tax
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustments to the tax payable or receivable in respect to other years. The amount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received the reflects the uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted at the reporting date in the United Arab Emirates.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the separate financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit and is accounted for using the balance sheet method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses, or unused tax credits are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
16
Orascom Construction PLC
Notes (continued)
3 Material accounting policies (continued)
Deferred tax (continued)
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled, or the asset is realised based on tax laws and rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
Global Minimum Top-up Tax
The UAE has enacted the Pillar Two legislation by way of a Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax ("DMTT") that became effective from 1 January 2025. The Company is considered to be in scope of the Pillar Two rules.
The Company has assessed the impact of the UAE DMTT for interim reporting for the Constituent Entities. Based on the assessment, the Group is not liable for any DMTT as the UAE Group meets the transitional safe harbours (routine profit test) at reporting date.
Management is closely monitoring further developments that could impact its overall Pillar Two tax position on a going-forward basis. The Company applies the IAS 12 exception to recognising and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes.
New and amended standards issued and effective
The following revised new and amended standards have been adopted in the separate interim financial statements.
- Lack of Exchangeability - Amendments to IAS 21
Accounting standards issued but not yet effective
A number of new accounting standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2026 and earlier application is permitted. However, the Company has not early adopted the following new or amended accounting standards in preparing these separate interim financial statements.

4 Financial risk management and capital management
Overview
The Company has exposure to the following risks arising from financial instruments:
- Credit risk;
- Liquidity risk; and
- Market risk.
This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of the above risks, the Company’s objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing risk, and the Company’s management of capital. The Company’s Board of Directors has the overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework and is responsible for developing and monitoring the Company’s risk management policies.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations which arise principally from the Company’s loans due from related parties, amounts due from related parties, other receivables and cash at banks. The Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each of its related party. The Company’s cash is placed with banks of repute.
The Company establishes an allowance for impairment that represents its estimate of expected losses with respect to Company’s loans due from related parties, amounts due from related parties and other receivables.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. Liquidity risk mainly relates to accounts payable and accrued expenses, dividend payable, loans due to related parties and amounts due to related parties. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates and interest rates will affect the Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return on risk.
Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to the changes in foreign exchange rates. The principal currencies in which these transactions are primarily denominated in Egyptian pound and Euro.

Overview (continued)
Market risk (continued)
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises from the possibility that changes in interest rates will affect the net finance income/expense of the Company. The Company has exposure to interest rate risk on loans due from and loans due to related parties on which interests are charged at agreed upon rates.
Capital management
The Company sets the amount of capital in proportion to risk. The Company manages the capital structure and makes adjustments to it in the light of change in economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividend paid to the shareholders or issue new shares.
Fair value
The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities of the Company approximate their carrying values as at the reporting date.

Interest Rate Benchmark Reform
A fundamental reform of major interest rate benchmarks has been undertaken globally, including the replacement of some interbank offered rates (IBORs) with alternative nearly risk-free rates (referred to as 'IBOR' reform').
IBOR reforms and expectation of cessation of LIBOR might impact the Company's current risk management strategy and possibly accounting for its financial liabilities. These financial instruments are referenced to LIBOR. The alternative reference for LIBOR is the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR).

20 Significant accounting estimates and judgements
The Company makes estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Impairment of investment in subsidiaries
The Company determines whether investment in subsidiaries is impaired on an annual basis or whenever there is any indication of impairment. This requires estimation of the “value in use” of the cash generating units. Estimating a value in use amount requires management to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the cash generating unit and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of these cash flows.
Impairment losses on receivables
The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its loans due from related parties, other receivables and amounts due from related parties. In determining impairment losses, the Company recognises loss allowance for expected credit losses on the financial asset that is measured at amortized cost.
At each reporting date, the Company measures the loss allowance for the financial instrument at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on that financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition. If, at the reporting date, the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses.
At each reporting date, the Company assess whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since the initial recognition. When making the assessment, the Company uses the change in the risk of a default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument instead of the change in the amount of expected credit losses.
The Company may assume that the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the financial instrument is determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date.
If reasonable and supportable forward-looking information is available without undue cost or effort, the Company cannot rely solely on past due information when determining whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. However, when information that is more forward-looking than past due status (either on an individual or a collective basis) is not available without undue cost or effort, the Company may use past due information to determine whether there have been significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition.
Regardless of the way in which the Company assesses significant increases in credit risk, there is a rebuttable presumption that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 90 days past due. The Company can rebut this presumption if it has reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort, that demonstrates that the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition even though the contractual payments are more than 90 days past due. When the Company determines that there have been significant increases in credit risk before contractual payments are more than 90 days past due, the rebuttable presumption does not apply.

21 Potential Strategic Merger
On 22 September 2025, OCI Global (listed on Euronext Amsterdam) and Orascom Construction PLC (listed on ADX and EGX) jointly announced that they are exploring a potential strategic merger (the "Combination").
As at the reporting date, the boards of directors of Orascom Construction PLC and OCI Global had approved the proposed Combination, and the structure of the transaction and the exchange ratio had been agreed.
Under the agreed terms, Orascom Construction PLC would be the acquiring entity, incorporated in ADGM and primarily listed on ADX, with shareholders of OCI Global receiving newly issued shares in Orascom Construction PLC based on the agreed exchange ratio.
The proposed Combination remains subject to shareholder approvals and the receipt of required regulatory consents. As the transaction had not been completed as at the reporting date, it has no impact on these separate interim financial statements.
At the General Assembly Meeting held on 22 January 2026, the shareholders of Orascom Construction PLC approved all special resolutions relating to the proposed Combination, in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Shareholders' Circular and Notice of General Meeting published on 11 December 2025, and the applicable rules and regulations.
Completion of the proposed Combination remains subject to, among other matters, approval by the shareholders of OCI Global and the receipt of required regulatory approvals. Accordingly, this matter is considered a non-adjusting subsequent event and has no impact on these separate interim financial statements.
22 Ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East
The recent regional military escalations have triggered a high-risk conflict environment across the Gulf. The situation is still very fluid, and scenarios can shift very quickly. The escalations have brought about additional uncertainties in the Company's operating environment, including the Company's subsidiaries operations in UAE and KSA. With respect to separate interim financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2026, the potential financial reporting effects of the conflict are considered to be non-adjusting in nature.
The Company has been closely monitoring the impact of recent developments on its businesses. However, considering that the majority of the Company's subsidiaries operations are located outside the conflict area, management has concluded that there has been no material impact on the Company's operations, financial performance, or financial position, and therefore no contingency measures have been required to put in place.
As far as the Company and its subsidiaries businesses are concerned, the current developments have not resulted in any significant operational disruptions, delays in constructions or in delivery to customers, or material impact on the repayment abilities of debtors. Accordingly, there has been no material impact on revenues, expected credit losses, or the recoverability of non-financial assets, and the Company does not anticipate any risk of breaching its financial covenants as a result of these developments. As the situation is fast evolving and fluid, the effect of the escalations is subject to significant levels of uncertainty, with the full range of possible effects unknown.
Management will continue to monitor the situation closely; however, as at the reporting date, no material financial impact has been identified.
