Cash inflows from operating activities stood at US$ 26.2 million for the six months ending 30 June 2025 compared to US$ 250.7 million for the six months ending 30 June 2024, which was driven by higher advance payments during that period in 2024.

This was partially absorbed by dividends declared and paid to shareholders in February 2024 and August 2024 of US$ 43.0 million. Cash outflows from fmancing activities for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 were driven by two dividend payments to shareholders totalling US$ 51.9 million, US$ 19 .5 million cash outflow for the purchase of Treasury
10

This strategic and geographic positioning has allowed the Group to remain at the forefront of the industry, involved in some of the most prestigious construction projects in the region.
21
Achieving record backlog further enhancing the Group's fundamentals.
The Group's backlog experienced continued growth in 2025, driven by strong new contracts across focus sectors and key markets. The Group has achieved an increase in Consolidated Backlog of 24.0% year-on-year to US$ 9.6 billion as of 30 June 2025 and increase in Pro Forma Backlog of 22.8% year-on-year to US$ 13.9 billion. In addition, the Group's successful execution of a regional geographic diversification strategy includes a strong focus on key sectors such as power and water, as evidenced by the ongoing mega water treatment and supply project in Abu Dhabi, and the 3 GW combined cycle gas-fired power plant in the KSA. In the United States, the business continues to expand across specialized sectors such as data centers and aviation, further solidifying its market position. This strategic positioning and geographic diversification underscores the Group's ability to execute high-profile and complex projects across multiple regions.
Growing concessions portfolio by leveraging the Group's expertise across construction, investment, financing and operations, with a portfolio spanning water/wastewater treatment, renewable energy, and logistics in Egypt, UAE and KSA.
The Group continues to successfully grow its concessions portfolio by leveraging its expertise across construction, investment, financing, and operations. This expanding portfolio spans concessions in water, renewable energy, and logistics. Key concessions include 912.5 MW of wind power in Egypt, wastewater treatment in Egypt and KSA, and a US$ 2.2 billion seawater treatment and supply BOOT project in Abu Dhabi.
The Group has a proven track record of growth and shareholder value creation, having previously incubated businesses in cement, ports, fertilizers, and building materials. Recently, the Group commenced commercial operations of a 650 MW Build-Own-Operate (BOO) wind farm in Egypt four months ahead of schedule, increasing its total operational wind power capacity to 912.5 MW. Evaluation and development activities for a new 900 MW wind farm in Egypt have also begun. These initiatives complement the Group's other concessions across wastewater treatment and logistics in Egypt, the UAE and KSA, facilitating recurring cash flow and supporting long-term growth.

The Group's consistent delivery of high safety standards-especially in complex environments-continues to position it as a trusted partner among blue-chip and government clients across the Middle East, Africa, and the United States. In the financial year ending 31 December 2024, the Group achieved an exceptionally low Lost Time Injury (LTI) rate of0.125 across 176 million manhours in the Middle East and Africa, and 0.14 across 4 million manhours in the United States. Notable achievements in 2024 include surpassing 20 million manhours without LTI across five flagship projects, including the Grand Egyptian Museum and the Magdi Yacoub Global Heart Centre in Egypt, and exceeding 5 million manhours without a L TI on US data centre projects executed by the Group's specialised mission critical division, a core unit delivering complex, high-technology infrastructure in regulated environments. These results reflect a mature and proactive HSE culture underpinned by rigorous systems, leadership accountability, and continuous workforce engagement to facilitate operational resilience, regulatory compliance, and sustained client confidence across all markets.

The complementary nature of BESIX and the Group's capabilities and markets provides the Group with a competitive edge and accretive partnership opportunities.
Delivering consistent shareholder returns, through dividend payments at attractive yields coupled with opportunistic share buybacks.

Dividend distribution has been consistent as seen in 2024 whereby the Company distributed total dividends of approximately US$ 43.0 million through two payments, resulting in a combined dividend yield of 6.4% for 2024, calculated as the sum of dividends paid in 2024 divided by the Company's market capitalization as recorded on Nasdaq Dubai on the 31 December 2024. This marks the eighth consecutive year that the Group has returned capital to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks, reinforcing its commitment to delivering consistent value to its investors. Additionally, the Company executed a share buyback of5.58% of the share capital in June 2023.
Strategy and Objectives
The Group's strategy continues to strengthen its position as a leading private sector EPC contractor and concessions developer, with the aim of delivering top sustainable value to the shareholders. The Group has consistently adhered to a comprehensive strategy anchored on four primary pillars that reflect the core focus of the Group: (a) Strengthen EPC market and geographic position, (b) leveraging strategic partnerships, (c) expanding its concessions and portfolio, and ( d) maintaining a strong commitment to excellence, health, safety, and environmental standards.
Strengthen EPC Market and Geographic Position.
The Group's strategy entails expanding market presence as an EPC contractor in core markets in MEA and the USA. The Group continues to strengthen its presence in key sectors such as infrastructure and industrial by focusing on sectors in which the Group has a competitive advantage. The Group continues to be committed to pursuing targeted geographic expansion in key markets such as the UAE and KSA across target sectors in which the Group holds a competitive advantage such as power and water. The Group has a strong track record across its core sectors, including power, water, and transportation, and was recently awarded projects categorized as some of the largest in the world. Further, the Group adopts a selective strategy of pursuing well-fund projected, while capitalizing on the financing track record across various industries including facilitating EPC Finance projects.
Establish and Leverage Strategic Partnerships and Joint Ventures.
The Group maintains an active strategy of working in partnership with industry leaders to complement and expand its capabilities. The Group continues to be a preferred partner for globally recognized industry leaders and original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"). By delivering alongside leading repeat partners and clients on complex projects, the Group aims to continue to expand its market reach and complement its capabilities. The Group has been involved through this mutually beneficial approach in some of the largest and most prestigious construction projects across the MEA region and in the USA. The commitment to strengthening these partnerships is crucial for maintaining a robust and diverse project portfolio.
23
Expanding Concessions and Investments Portfolio.
The Group's strategy focuses on expanding its portfolio of investments in infrastructure assets, namely concessions, projects by leveraging its recent success in the renewable energy and water treatment sector and its past proven investment track record in industries such as cement, ports, fertilizers, and building materials. Such concessions are typically developed under a BOO or BOOT model. By operating as a builder, owner, and operator, the Group generates construction revenue during the contracting phase and secures recurring cash flow once projects are operational. The required equity for these investments is partly funded by profits and cash flows from the contracting phase. This approach has already been successfully implemented in projects such as wind farms and seawater and wastewater treatment and supply projects in the UAE, Egypt and KSA. Through this strategy, the Group strives to continue to successfully grow its portfolio of recurring income.
Commitment to Excellence, Health, Safety and the Environment.
The Company's strategy is also aimed at upholding high standards of quality, safety, and environmental leadership, while adhering to ethical business practices, by maintaining a safe and healthy workplace and leveraging its expertise to benefit clients and partners alike. Additionally, the Group takes pride in its corporate social responsibility, striving to make a meaningful and lasting impact on the communities in which it operates through effective engagement and responsible practices.
Delivering Shareholder Value.
The Company's policy also focuses on dedication to delivering value to shareholders through its commitment and adherence to its strategic pillars. The ongoing commitment of its founding shareholders and Senior Management Team underpins the Group's sustainable growth journey, empowering the Group to capitalize on future challenges and opportunities.

DIVIDEND POLICY
General
As set out in the DIFC Articles of Association, the Company may by ordinary resolution declare a dividend to be paid to the members according to their respective rights and interests and may fix the time for payment of such dividend, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by the Board.
The Board may pay interim dividends if it appears to the Board that they are justified by the profits of the Company available for distribution.
As set out in the ADGM Articles of Association, the Company may by ordinary resolution declare dividends, and the directors may decide to pay interim dividends. Additionally a dividend must not be declared unless the directors have made a recommendation as to its amount and such a dividend must not exceed the amount recommended by the directors.
The tax legislation of the Shareholder's tax jurisdiction or other relevant jurisdictions and of the UAE, being the tax jurisdiction of the Company, may have an impact on the income received from the Shares.
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.
Dividend Policy
The Company's ability to pay dividends is dependent on a number of factors, including the availability of distributable reserves, the Company's capital expenditure plans, any future credit rating considerations and other cash requirements in future periods, and there is no assurance that the Company will pay dividends or, if a dividend is paid, what the amount of such dividend will be. See also "Risk Factors-Risks Relating to the Shares and the Listing-There can be no assurance that dividends will be paid on the Shares".
Uncollected Dividend
As set out in the DIFC Articles of Association, all unclaimed dividends, interest or other sums payable by the Company in respect of a share may be invested or otherwise made use of by the board for the benefit of the Company until claimed. A dividend unclaimed for a period of seven years from the date it was declared or became due for payment shall be forfeited and shall cease to remain owing by the Company. The payment of any unclaimed dividend, interest or other sum payable by the Company in respect of a share into a separate account does not constitute the Company a trustee in respect of it.
As per the ADGM Articles of Association, unclaimed dividends or other sums which are payable in respect of shares and are unclaimed after having been declared or become payable may be invested or otherwise made use of by the directors for the benefit of the Company until claimed. A dividend unclaimed for a period of twelve years from the date it was declared or became due for payment, the distribution recipient shall no longer be entitled to that dividend or other sum and it ceases to remain owing by the Company. Payment of any such dividend or other sum into a separate account does not make the company a trustee in respect of it.

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 ( "QF") in February 2008 to Obrasc6n Huarte Lain (55%) and Contrack Cyprus Limited (45%) (together, the "JV"), for a total contract value of approximately US$ 2.4 billion. Contrack Cyprus Limited is ultimately wholly owned by the Company.
In July 2014, when the project was approximately 95% complete, the N received a notice of termination from QF. QF also commenced arbitration proceedings against the N by serving a request for Arbitration with the ICC (seat in London).
On 1 July 2025, the ICC issued an award in the case which, in addition to confirming QF's entitlement to keep the amounts received in 2014 with the encashment of the N's guarantees, finds the N liable to pay QF the net sum of QAR 104,622,023 (equivalent to US$ 28.7 million). Contrack Cyprus is liable to pay 45% of that sum and has sufficient cash to meet this obligation. This award may still be subject to corrections under section 35 of the ICC Arbitration rules.
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 2025.
In August 2017, QF again served a request for arbitration, this time in parallel proceedings against OCI SAE with the ICC. The claims made by QF in this new arbitration arise in connection with a parent company guarantee issued by OCI SAE on 7 February 2008. QF alleged that the terms of the PCG protect it in respect of liabilities and obligations ofContrack (Cyprus) Limited on the project. This arbitration is on hold since March 2020 pending decision in the main arbitration in the paragraph above, which has been recently issued.
King Abdul-Aziz Airport Development project
Saudi Binladin Group ("SBG") entered into an EPC contract with the General Authority of Civil Aviation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, for the King Abdul-Aziz Airport Development Project - Phase 1 (the "Project").

Under the Subcontracts, OS encountered several delays in the commencement, performance and completion of the works against the originally contemplated time schedule resulting in time and cost damages to OS.
On 25 June 2019, OS commenced arbitration proceedings claiming its entitlement to extensions of time and additional costs. In March 2025, the Parties signed a settlement agreement for the full and final settlement of all claims concerning the Project. On 30 July 2025, a consent award was issued by the arbitral tribunal reflecting the terms of the agreement signed between OS and SBG. The arbitration has been declared closed by the tribunal.
