Review report on condensed interim consolidated financial statements to the Board of Directors of Tecom Group PJSC

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position of Tecom Group PJSC ("the Company") and its subsidiaries (together, "the Group") as at 30 June 2025 and the related condensed interim consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods then ended, and condensed interim consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and other explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statement in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' ('IAS 34'). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed interim consolidated financial statements 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 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.

Conclusion

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

1 Legal status and activities (continued)

The Group only operates in the UAE and has no subsidiaries in foreign jurisdictions.

The Group has not purchased or invested in any shares for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025.

2 Material accounting policy information

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") and comply with the applicable requirements of the laws in the UAE.

No income of a seasonal nature was recorded in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025. In addition, the results for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the financial year ending 31 December 2025.

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 consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

2.2 Basis of preparation

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in United Arab Emirates Dirham (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/received 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.

2 Material accounting policy information (continued)

2.2 Basis of preparation (continued)

As at 30 June 2025, the Group's current liabilities exceeded its current assets. A significant portion of these current liabilities comprises non-financial liabilities, including operating lease advances and contract advances. Excluding these, the Group's current assets exceed current liabilities.

Certain comparative amounts have been reclassified in the notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025 to conform to the presentation used in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

The same accounting policies and methods of computation, as well as assumptions, are followed in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements as compared to the most recent annual consolidated financial statements, except for the new policies, standards, and amendments adopted during the current period as outlined in note 2.3 of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

2.3 Application of new and revised IFRS Accounting Standards

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

The following revised IFRS Accounting Standards, which became effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025, has been adopted in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. Its adoption has not had any material impact on the disclosures or on the amounts reported in these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

• Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates relating to Lack of Exchangeability.

Other than the above, there are no other significant IFRS Accounting Standards and amendments that were effective for the first time for the financial year beginning on or after 1 January 2025.

  • 2 Material accounting policy information (continued)
  • 2.3 Application of new and revised IFRS Accounting Standards (continued)
  • (b) New and revised IFRS Accounting Standards in issue but not yet effective

At the date of authorisation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the Group has not applied the following new and revised IFRS Accounting Standards that have been issued but are not yet effective:

Effective for annual
periods beginning
New and revised IFRS Accounting Standards on or after
Amendments to IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 7 Financial

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements 1 January 2027
IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures 1 January 2027

Management anticipates that these new standards, interpretations and amendments will be adopted in the Group's condensed interim consolidated financial statements as and when they are applicable and adoption of these new standards, interpretations and amendments except for IFRS 18 will have no material impact on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Group in the period of initial application.

3 Financial risk management

3.1 Financial risk factors

The Group's operations and borrowings potentially expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including 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 Financial risk management (continued)

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 June 2025:

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 judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty remain consistent with those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, except for the reassessment of provisions related to infrastructure costs.

Change in accounting estimate

During the six-month period ended 30 June 2025, the Group performed a reassessment of its infrastructure cost estimates. This reassessment resulted in an increase in the carrying amount of investment property and the related provision for infrastructure costs by AED 68,000,000 (Note 17).

The revision was primarily driven by updated assumptions regarding the historical cost of construction. An increase in the cost of constructing comparable infrastructure assets in recent periods was a key factor for the revised estimate.

At 30 June 2025, the fixed interest rates vary from 1.52% to 4.37% per annum (31 December 2024: 1.52% to 4.37% 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 six-month period ended 30 June 2025 amounted to a loss of AED 68,204,000 (for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024: a gain of AED 2,768,000). The related tax on the gain for the period is AED 6,138,000 (for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024: AED 249,000), which has been set off against the fair value loss/gain disclosed in the other comprehensive income.

As at 30 June 2025, derivative financial instruments include interest rate swaps entered into with a related party financial institution, with a fair value of AED 37,999,000 (31 December 2024: AED 64,689,000).

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.

9 Trade and unbilled receivables (continued)

The Group has a broad base of customers with no concentration of credit risk within trade receivables at 30 June 2025 and 31 December 2024. 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.

23 Current income tax

On 9 December 2022, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Ministry of Finance ("MoF") released Federal Decree-Law No 47 of 2022 on the Taxation of Corporations and Businesses, Corporate Tax Law ("CT Law") to enact a new CT regime in the UAE. The new CT regime has become effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 June 2023. As the Group's accounting year ends on 31 December, the first tax period will be the period from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024, with the respective tax return to be filed on or before 30 September 2025.

The taxable income of the entities that are in scope for UAE CT Law purposes will be subject to the rate of 9% corporate tax for mainland entities and where conditions are met, 0% for freezones.

The tax charge for the six-month period ended 30 June 2025 is AED 22,443,000 (for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024: AED 17,594,000), representing an Effective Tax Rate ("ETR") of 2.95% (for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024: 2.83%). The deviation from the UAE statutory tax rate (i.e. 9%) is primarily driven by subsidiaries operating in free zones that are subject to 0%.

24 Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing profit for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.

As there are no dilutive instruments outstanding, basic and diluted earnings per share are identical. The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to the owners of the Company is based on the following data:

27 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 segment only. No information that includes the segments' assets and liabilities is 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).
  • Industrial leasing consists of warehouses and staff accommodation (housing for businesses 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 represent 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.
