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 31 March 2026 and the related condensed interim consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended, and other explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed interim consolidated financial information in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' ('IAS 34'). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed interim consolidated 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 condensed interim consolidated financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.

TECÔM GROUP
Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended 31 March 2026 (continued)
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 three-month period ended 31 March 2026.
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.
The Group's operations are not subject to significant seasonal or cyclical factors. Accordingly, the results and financial position for the interim period are not materially affected by seasonality or cyclicality. In addition, the results for the three-month period ended 31 March 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the financial year ending 31 December 2026.
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 2025.
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.
As at 31 March 2026, the Group's current liabilities exceeded its current assets. A significant portion of these current liabilities comprises non-financial liabilities, including operating lease and contract advances. The Group had access to undrawn committed credit facilities at the reporting date, which provide sufficient liquidity to meet obligations for at least twelve months. Accordingly, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Notes to the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended 31 March 2026 (continued)
2 Material accounting policy information (continued)
2.2 Basis of preparation (continued)
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 notes 2.3 of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
2.3 Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards ("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 Standard, which became effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026, 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 the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments - Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7
- Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity - Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7
- Annual improvements to IFRS - Volume 11
Other than the above, there are no other significant IFRSs and amendments that were effective for the first time for the financial year beginning on or after 1 January 2026.
(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:
| New and revised IFRS Accounting Standards | Effective for annual periods beginning on or after |
|---|---|
| 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 may have no material impact on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of Group in the period of initial application other than the one mentioned below.
TECÔM GROUP
2 Material accounting policy information (continued)
2.3 Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS Accounting Standards") (continued)
(b) New and revised IFRS Accounting Standards in issue but not yet effective (continued)
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements ("IFRS 18"). IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, introducing new requirements that will help to achieve comparability of the financial performance of similar entities and provide more relevant information and transparency to users. Even though IFRS 18 will not impact the recognition or measurement of items in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, its impacts on presentation and disclosure are expected to be pervasive, in particular those related to the condensed interim consolidated statement of income and providing management-defined performance measures within the separate financial statements. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, with earlier application permitted.
The Group plans to adopt IFRS 18 on its effective date and is currently in the process of assessing the impact of the adoption.
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.
3.2 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 Financial risk management (continued)
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 31 March 2026:
| | Level 2

| Assets | |
| Derivatives designated as cash flow hedges | 67,683 |

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 were the as those that applied to the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025, except for the following:
Impact of geopolitical developments
Geopolitical developments in the region continued to evolve during the three-month period ended 31 March 2026, resulting in increased uncertainty in the economic and operating environment. Occupancy levels and rental performance remained stable during the period. While revenue generated from the visa services declined by approximately AED 4 million, overall revenue of the Group increased, reflecting the resilient and predominantly leasing based nature of the Group's operations. No material deterioration was identified in the recoverability of trade receivables.
While estimation uncertainty has increased and has been reflected in the underlying assumptions used in internal assessments, management is satisfied that the carrying values of investment properties remain recoverable considering the historical significant headroom between the carrying and associated fair values.
Management continues to monitor developments and will reassess critical accounting estimates and judgements as necessary during 2026.

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 31 March 2026 and 31 December 2025. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of receivable.
9 Trade and unbilled receivables (continued)
During the three-month period ended 31 March 2026, provisions for loss allowance on trade and unbilled receivables amounting to AED 50,149 thousand were written off (for the year ended 31 December 2025: AED nil).
The provision against not past due receivables reflects the expected credit loss for specific customers identified as having increased credit risk, where collection is considered doubtful, based on forward-looking information and in accordance with the Group's expected credit loss policy. 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 issued Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 on the Taxation of Corporations and Businesses ("Corporate Tax Law"), introducing a federal corporate tax regime effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 June 2023.
23 Current income tax (continued)
The Group's first tax period was from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024. The taxable income of the entities that are in scope for UAE Corporate Tax Law purposes is subject to corporate tax at the rate of 9% for mainland entities and, where conditions are met, 0% for freezone entities.
The tax charge for the three-month period ended 31 March 2026 is AED 12,151 thousand (for the three-month period ended 31 March 2025: AED 10,437 thousand), representing an Effective Tax Rate ("ETR") of 2.92% (for the three-month period ended 31 March 2025: 2.81%). 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%.
The financial year ended 31 December 2025 was the first period in which UAE Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax (UAE DMTT) legislation became effective in the UAE. The Group has assessed the applicability of the UAE DMTT to its operations and concluded that the Group does not fall within the scope of the legislation, accordingly, no current tax charge or liability arises in respect of the UAE DMTT, and no impact arises on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended 31 March 2026.
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 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).
- 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 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.
