INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT ON THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF SPACE42 PLC

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position of Space42 PLC (the "Company"), and its subsidiaries (together the "Group"), as at 31 March 2026, and the related statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three months then ended, and other explanatory notes, including material accounting policy information. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting ('IAS 34'). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information 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.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

2 Material accounting policy information

2.1 Basis of preparation

Statement of compliance

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34 Interim Financial Reporting and comply where appropriate, with the Articles of Association of the Company and applicable requirements of Abu Dhabi Global Market ("ADGM") Companies Regulations 2020 (as amended), Companies Regulations (International Accounting Standards) Rules 2015 and ADGM Financial Services Regulatory Authority Market Rules.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Group's last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2025 ('last annual financial statements'). These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all of the information required for a complete set of financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements. In addition, results for the three months ended 31 March 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the financial year ending 31 December 2026.

The same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements as compared with the last annual financial statements, except for new and amended standards applicable from 1 January 2026 as disclosed in note 2.2 below.

Basis of measurement

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments, which are measured at fair value. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

Functional and presentation currency

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in United States Dollars ("USD" or "$"), the functional currency of the Company and the presentation currency of the Group. Subsidiaries and its equity-accounted investees determine their own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of these companies are measured using that functional currency. All financial information presented in USD has been rounded to the nearest thousand ("$ 000"), unless stated otherwise.

Use of judgements and estimates

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, management has made judgements and estimates that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those described in the last annual financial statements.

2.2 New and amended standards and interpretations

The Group applied for the first-time certain standards and amendments, which are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments – Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7

In May 2024, the IASB issued Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (the Amendments). The Amendments include:

  • Clarifications of the requirements for recognition and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. In particular, a financial liability is derecognised on the 'settlement date' and an accounting policy choice is introduced (if specific conditions are met) to derecognise financial liabilities settled using an electronic payment system before the settlement date
  • Additional guidance on how the contractual cash flows for financial assets with environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) and similar features should be assessed
  • Clarifications on what constitute 'non-recourse features' and what are the characteristics of contractually linked instruments
  • The introduction of disclosures for financial instruments with contingent features and additional disclosure requirements for equity instruments classified at fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI)

The amendments did not have any material impact on the Group's condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Annual Improvements to IFRS accounting Standards – Volume 11

In July 2024, the IASB issued nine narrow scope amendments as part of its periodic maintenance of IFRS Accounting Standards. The amendments include clarifications, simplifications, corrections or changes to improve consistency in IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 7 Financial instruments: Disclosure and its accompanying Guidance on implementing IFRS 7, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 7 Statements of Cash Flows.

The amendments did not have any material impact on the Group's condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity – Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7

In December 2024, the IASB issued Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity. The amendments apply only to contracts that reference nature-dependent electricity, and they:

  • Clarify the application of the 'own-use' requirements for in-scope contracts
  • Amend the designation requirements for a hedged item in a cash flow hedging relationship for in-scope contracts
  • Add new disclosure requirements to enable investors to understand the effect of these contracts on a company's financial performance and cash flows

The amendments had no impact on the Group's condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

2.3 Standards issued but not yet effective and not early adopted

The new and amended standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Group's condensed consolidated interim financial statements, are disclosed below. The Group intends to adopt these new and amended standards and interpretations, if applicable, when they become effective.

New and amended standards issued but not effective and not yet adopted by the Group Effective date
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements 1 January 2027
IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures 1 January 2027
Amendments to IAS 21: Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency 1 January 2027
Amendments to IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures 1 January 2027
IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures 1 January 2024, subject to adoption by the local jurisdiction

The Group is currently in the process of assessing the impacts of IFRS 18 on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

There are no other applicable new standards and amendments to published standards or IFRIC interpretations that have been issued that would be expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group. Except IFRS 18, the above stated new standards and amendments are not expected to have any significant impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group.

Global Minimum Tax

In an effort to end tax avoidance and to address concerns regarding the erosion of the global corporate tax base, a global framework for corporate taxation has been formed by the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework and is supported by over 135 jurisdictions. The goal of the framework is to reduce the shifting of profit from one jurisdiction to another, in order to reduce global tax obligations in corporate structures and introduce a minimum 15% tax rate by jurisdiction ("Pillar Two").

On 9 December 2024, the UAE Ministry of Finance announced a 15% Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax (DMTT) for multinational enterprises (MNE) with global revenues of Euro 750 million at the ultimate parent level, aligning with the OECD Pillar Two framework. During the period, the UAE Cabinet resolution no. 142 of 2024 (the "resolution") concerning 'Imposition of UAE Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-up Taxes ("QDMTT") on Multinational Enterprises (MNE)' was issued which is effective from 1 January 2025. The resolution accompanies detailed provisions, rules and procedures on the QDMTT.

Space42 PLC and its subsidiaries are subject to QDMTT since the global revenues of the Company's ultimate parent entity exceed the minimum threshold of EUR 750 million and therefore meet the definition of constituent entities that are a member of an MNE Group, as defined under the resolution. As a result of the Group's assessment of the applicable requirements of the resolution, QDMTT of $76 thousand, included in current income tax above, was recognised in the condensed consolidated interim profit or loss during the three months ended 31 March 2026 (three months ended 31 March 2025: $nil).

The Group has applied the temporary exception issued by the IASB in May 2023 from the accounting requirements for deferred taxes in IAS 12. Accordingly, the Group neither recognises nor discloses information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes.

18 Fair value disclosures

A number of the Group's accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Fair values have been determined for measurement and / or disclosure purposes as explained below.

The fair value of the derivative financial instruments is based on broker quotes, which are tested for reasonableness by discounting estimated future cash flows based on the terms and maturity of each contract and using market interest rates for a similar instrument at the measurement date. Derivatives fall into Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 during current and prior periods.

The fair values of the Group's current financial assets and liabilities are equal to their carrying amounts. The fair values of the Group's borrowings, which bear interest at variable rates, approximate their carrying amounts. These are determined using discounted cash flows.
