August 17th, 2016 REVIEW REPORT ON CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Shareholders TECOM Group PJSC Dubai United Arab Emirates

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of TECOM Group PJSC (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together, the "Group") as at 30 September 2022 and 2021, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended 30 September 2022 and 2021, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with the accounting policies described in note 2 to the interim financial information. 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 interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the accounting policies described in note 2 to the interim financial information.

Emphasis of matter - basis of accounting and restriction of use

We draw attention to note 2 to the interim financial information, which describes the basis of accounting. The interim financial information has been prepared to assist the Group to comply with certain financial reporting provisions relating to Public Joint Stock Companies in the United Arab Emirates. As a result, the interim financial information may not be suitable for another purpose. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

1. LEGAL STATUS AND ACTIVITIES

TECOM Group PJSC (the "Company") is a public joint stock with trade license number 577858 issued by the Department of Economy and Tourism in Dubai.

The Company was initially established as a limited liability company on 14 February 2006. The legal status of the Company has been converted to a public joint stock company on 30 June 2022 by virtue of Company's shareholders resolution.

On 5 July 2022, the Company listed its 12.5% ordinary shares on the Dubai Financial Market ("DFM" or the "Exchange") through an Initial Public Offering ("IPO").

The Company is domiciled in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and its registered head office address is P.O. Box 66000, Umm Suqeim, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

The parent company is DHAM LLC (the "Parent Company") and the ultimate parent company is Dubai Holding LLC (the "Ultimate Parent Company"). The Company and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as the Group (the "Group").

Prior to the IPO, the Ultimate Parent Company approved a group reorganisation, whereby the Company transferred its operations related to its property sales division and equity investments division (the "Divisions") to entities under common control of the Ultimate Parent Company. The transfer of the Divisions was executed during April 2022 with an effective date of transferring beneficial and economic interest on 1 January 2022. As a result of the group reorganisation, the operations remaining within the Group from 1 January 2022 include property development, leasing, facilities management, property management services and government relations services (the "IPO Perimeter").

The Group consolidates investments in the following principal subsidiaries:

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1 Statement of compliance

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standard 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' ("IAS 34"), except for the transfer of the operating activities of the Divisions as described in note 1 to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements from the comparative period ended 30 September 2021. This transfer should have been accounted for as a transfer on 1 January 2022 without changing the comparative information for 2021.

No income of a seasonal nature was recorded in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2022. In addition, the results for the ninemonth period ended 30 September 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the financial year ending 31 December 2022.

2.2 Basis of preparation

The comparatives for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2021, within the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared on a carve-out basis by excluding the operating activities of the Divisions and only reflecting the IPO Perimeter as described in Note 1. Any adjustments arising from the transfer out of Divisions within the condensed interim consolidated statement of income and the condensed interim consolidated balance sheet were reflected within equity of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements. No such adjustment was required for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2022 as the transfer has been legally executed effective 1 January 2022.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in United Arab Emirates (AED) which is the Company's functional currency and the Group's presentation currency. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest AED thousands ('000s), unless stated otherwise.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of financial instruments that are measured at fair values at the end of each reporting period. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

The preparation of condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's carve-out financial statements for the years ended 31 December 2021, 2020, and 2019.

2.3 Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")

(a) New and revised IFRS applied with no material effect on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements

The following new and revised IFRS, which became effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022, have been adopted in these financial statements. The application of these revised IFRS has not had any material impact on the amounts reported for the current and prior years but may affect the accounting for future transactions or arrangements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

  • 2.3 Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") (continued)
  • (a) New and revised IFRS applied with no material effect on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements (continued)
  • Amendments to IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment relating to proceeds before intended use
  • Amendment to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets relating to onerous contracts.
  • Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations relating to reference to conceptual framework
  • Annual improvements to IFRS standards 2018 2020

(b) New and revised IFRSs in issue but not yet effective

The Group has not early adopted the following new and revised standards that have been issued but are not yet effective. The management is in the process of assessing the impact of the new requirements.

contribution of assets from investors

Management anticipates that these new standards, interpretations and amendments will be adopted in the Group's condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the period of initial application and adoption of these new standards, interpretations and amendments may have no material impact on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Group in the period of initial application.

2.4 Earnings per share

The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") data for its ordinary shares. Basic earnings per share 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 period. Diluted earnings per share 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.

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

3.1 Financial risk factors

The Group's operations and borrowings 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 manages its cash flow interest rate risk by using floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. Such interest rate swaps have the economic effect of converting borrowings from floating to fixed rates.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all financial risk management information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements.

3.2 Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, the Group aims to maintain flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available. Management reviews cash flows at regular intervals.

3.3 Fair value estimation

The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:

  • Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1).
  • Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2).
  • Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).

The following table presents the Group's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at 30 September 2022:

4. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, 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 estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.

The significant judgments made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the Group's carve-out financial statements for the years ended 31 December 2021, 2020, and 2019, except for as disclosed below:

(a) Provision for infrastructure costs

The Group recognises provisions for infrastructure based on assessments by third party specialists. This requires the use of significant estimates and judgements to determine the quantum of infrastructure required, the costs and time related to the construction, and the expected share of costs that may be recharged to the master developer. Infrastructure developed or under development by third parties or government authorities will be recharged to the master developer and subsequently to the Group based on its share of such costs. The significant components of infrastructure include construction of roadworks and power stations to service the master planned communities.

The provision for infrastructure costs are based on management's best estimate of the future costs of construction of the related infrastructure facilities and the total costs to be actually incurred will be determined based on inputs from the relevant authorities and cost structures prevalent at each such future date. Hence, the Group's actual cost of infrastructure may be materially different to the current estimates as advised by third party specialists.

Change in accounting estimate

The Group's periodical assessment of the infrastructure cost estimates in the current period using third party specialists has resulted in a reduction in the carrying value of investment property and provision for infrastructure cost as of 1 January 2022 by AED 1,262,622,000.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expected cash outflows required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the obligation.

Revisions to key assumptions and inputs have contributed to the change in estimates. The expected timing of incurring the infrastructure cost is one such key variable which has been revised. In this regard, management estimates the present value of cost to be incurred over a period of up to 15 years in a phased manner and would be non-interest bearing. For roadworks related infrastructure estimates, key variables used are information from traffic impact studies performed by third party specialists. For power stations related infrastructure estimates, the key variables used are the historical costs of constructing similar infrastructure assets and the stage of development of the master planned communities to which the infrastructure costs relate.

*Effective from 1 January 2022, the Group has revised its estimated provision for infrastructure cost measured at the present value of the expected cash outflows [Note 4(a)]. The change in estimate decreased the carrying value of investment property by AED 1,262,622,000.

The capital work-in-progress includes buildings under construction, land and infrastructure under construction for investment properties.

The depreciation charge for the period is recognised under direct costs amounting to AED 252,517,000 (for the period ended 30 September 2021: AED 263,275,000).

As at 30 September 2022, the estimated fair value of the Group's investment property is AED 19,409,654,000 (2021: AED19,132,000,000)

Total 6,338,837 73,116 89,620

The Group uses derivatives only for economic hedging purposes and not as speculative investments. However, where derivatives do not meet the hedging criteria under IFRS, they are classified as 'held for trading' for accounting purposes as required by IFRS. In particular, the Group uses interest rate swaps to minimise the effect of interest rate fluctuations on its borrowings. The contracts entered into by the Group are principally denominated in AED. The fair values of these contracts are recorded in the condensed interim consolidated balance sheet and is determined by reference to valuations by reputable external financial institutions.

Interest rate swaps are commitments to exchange one set of cash flows for another. The swaps result in an economic exchange of interest rates, no exchange of principal takes place. These swap transactions entitle the Group to receive or pay amounts derived from interest rate differentials between an agreed fixed interest rate and the applicable floating rate prevailing at the beginning of each interest period.

At 30 September 2022, the fixed interest rates vary from 1.51% to 4.37% per annum (2021: 0.57% to 4.32% per annum). The floating rates are linked to Emirates Interbank Offered Rate ("EIBOR").

Changes in the fair market values of interest rate swaps that are considered effective and designated as cash flow hedges are recognised in the hedge reserve in other comprehensive income. Amounts are reclassified to profit or loss when the associated hedged transaction affects profit or loss. There was no ineffectiveness to be recorded from the cash flow hedges. The change in fair values of interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2022 amounted to a gain of AED 317,776,000 (nine-month period ended 30 September 2021: AED 80,755,000).

7. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)

During the period, certain derivatives designated as hedging instruments were settled, and therefore hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively on these items. The amount of AED 59,413,000 had been accumulated in the hedge reserve has been recycled through condensed interim consolidated statement of income.

Changes in the fair market values of other interest rate swaps which have not been designated and do not qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in the condensed interim consolidated statement of income. During the current period, the fair value loss on derivatives recognised in 'Finance income/costs' amounts to AED NIL (period ended 30 September 2021: AED 14,345,000).

The fair values of trade and unbilled receivables approximate their carrying amounts.

Unbilled receivables arise on revenue recognition based on straight lining which is mainly driven by rent free periods and rent escalation as per the contracts.

The Group has a broad base of customers with no concentration of credit risk within trade receivables at 30 September 2022 and 2021.The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of receivable.

The provision against not past due receivables reflects loss allowance against specific customers considered having a higher probability of default. The creation and release of the loss allowance on receivables have been included in the condensed interim consolidated statement of income under general and administrative expenses. Amounts charged to the allowance account are generally written off when there is no expectation of recovering additional cash. The majority of the Group's trade and unbilled receivables are denominated in AED.

24. SEGMENT REPORTING

Information regarding the Group's reportable segments is set out below in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments. IFRS 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the Group's Chief Executive Officer, as the chief operating decision maker, in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance. Information reported to the Group's Chief Executive Officer for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance focuses on the financial performance of each business segments only. No information that includes the segments' assets and liabilities are reported to the Group's Chief Executive Officer.

The Group is organised into four reportable segments: (i) commercial leasing, (ii) industrial leasing, (iii) land leasing and (iv) services and others. The following describes the types of properties, products or services that fall within each of our financial segments:

  • Commercial leasing consists of built to lease and built to suit properties. Built to lease properties are our commercial properties which are typically developed for multiple tenants and are leased out to customers, and include office, retail space and business centres (built to lease). Built to suit properties typically represent our commercial properties where we were able to identify customers in advance of developing the property in order to build a single-tenant customised property that meet a customer's specifications, which are then leased out to them upon completion or similar properties (built to suit). Within our commercial leasing segment, our properties are classified as Commercial Business District ("CBD") or non-CBD properties.
  • Industrial leasing consists of warehouses and staff accommodation (housing for businesses to use to accommodate their workers).
  • Land leasing consists of land leases. Our land leases represent land available within our business districts that already has or is expected to develop the necessary infrastructure (such as connecting roads, water, electricity and sewage) that allows us to lease the land. We have intentionally retained such land in order to be able to lease it to customers to suit their specific needs, such as manufacturing, commercial, retail, residential or academic purposes.
  • Services consist of fees from the services that we provide, including those generated from our AXS platform, venue management services, property management and leasing agreements and our in5 platform.
  • Other segments include businesses that individually do not meet the criteria of a reportable segment. These segments include operations and support functions.

The Group operates primarily in United Arab Emirates and accordingly no further geographical analysis of revenue and profit are given. Segment revenue reported represents revenue generated from customers and there were no intersegment sales.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group's accounting policies. Segment results represents the profit earned by each segment before interest, depreciation and amortisation. This is the measure reported to the Group's Chief Executive Officer for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance.
