REPORT OF THE REVISEUR D’ENTREPRISE AGREE  
Qualified Opinion  
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Orascom Investment Holding S.a.e.  
and its subsidiaries (the "Group"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial  
position as at 31 December 2024, and the consolidated statement of profit and loss and other  
comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated  
statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial  
statements including a summary of significant accounting policies.  
In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matters described in the “Basis for Qualified  
Opinion” section of our report, the accompanying consolidated financial statements give a true  
and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2024 and  
of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then  
ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the International  
Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).  
Basis for qualified opinion  
Investment in equity accounted investee and cash held in North Korea  
The Group’s investment in CHEO Technology JV (“Koryolink”), a foreign associate is carried  
at $12 million as at 31 December 2024 under “Equity-accounted investees”. For the year, a  
$9million share of profit was recognized but was fully impaired due to the fact that Koryolink  
is operating under an international ban and financial restrictions imposed by the international  
community on North Korea, which lead to difficulties in transferring profits abroad and  
repatriation of funds outside of North Korea. The Board of Directors consider the recognized  
profit and related impairment as the best estimate of the recoverable amount.  
We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to support the recoverable  
amount of this investment, the share of profit, or the corresponding impairment. Consequently,  
we could not determine whether adjustments were required to the opening and closing  
balances of “Equity-accounted investees” in the consolidated statement of financial position,  
the captions “Share of profit from equity accounted investee” and “Impairment of share of profit  
from equity accounted investee” in the consolidated income statement and other  
comprehensive income and related disclosures.  
On 10 November 2025, we issued a qualified opinion on the consolidated financial statements  
of the Group for the financial year ended 31ꢀDecember 2023 for this same reason.

Cash held in North Korea  
In addition, the Group holds restricted cash of $114 million in North Korea, comprising $106  
million with the Foreign Trade Bank of DPR Korea and $8 million of cash in hand. The Board  
of Directors recorded a 50% expected credit loss (ECL), booking for the year ended 31  
December 2024 an additional $13 million in the caption “Impairment of current and non-current  
assets”.  
We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the recoverability of  
these balances, the adequacy of the ECL and the existence of the cash in hand. As a result,  
we could not determine whether further adjustments to the captions “current financial assets  
at amortized cost” in the consolidated statement of financial position and “Impairment loss of  
other financial assets” in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive  
income or related disclosures were necessary.  
On 10 November 2025, we issued a qualified opinion on the consolidated financial statements  
of the Group for the financial year ended 31ꢀDecember 2023 for the recoverability of the  
restricted cash held with the Foreign Trade Bank of DPR Korea.  
Investment in Orascom Telecom Lebanon S.A.L (“OTL”)  
Orascom Telecom Lebanon S.A.L (“OTL”), a Lebanese subsidiary, has elected Lebanese  
Pound as its functional and presentation currency. Lebanon is classified as a hyperinflationary  
economy. As at 31 December 2024, OTL represented $6.6 million of the Group’s total assets  
and $1.3 of total liabilities and $(0.47) million operating results.  
The Board of Directors did not provide an assessment of the impact of IAS 29 Financial  
Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies. Accordingly, we could not obtain sufficient  
appropriate audit evidence regarding the effects of inflation on OTL’s assets, liabilities, or  
results from operations. There were no other procedures that could have been performed to  
satisfy ourselves as to the appropriateness of OTL’s total assets, total liabilities and results  
from operations. As a result, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments were  
necessary.  
On 10 November 2025, we issued a qualified opinion on the consolidated financial statements  
of the Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 for the above-mentioned reason.  
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Law of 23 July 2016 on the audit profession  
(“Law of 23 July 2016”) and with International Standards on Auditing (“ISAs”) as adopted for  
Luxembourg by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier (“CSSF”). Our  
responsibilities under the Law of 23 July 2016 and ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the  
CSSF are further described in the « Responsibilities of “réviseur d'entreprises agréé” for the  
audit of the consolidated financial statements » section of our report. We are also independent  
of the Group in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants,  
including International Independence Standards, issued by the International Ethics Standards  
Board for Accountants (“IESBA Code”) as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF together with  
the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements,  
and have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities under those ethical requirements. We  
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a  
basis for our qualified opinion.  
Key audit matters  
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most  
significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These  
matters were addressed in the context of the audit of the consolidated financial statements as  
a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on  
these matters.  
Except for the matters described in the “Basis for Qualified Opinion” section, we have  
determined that there are no other key audit matters to communicate in our report.  
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and those charged with governance for the  
consolidated financial statements  
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the  
consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted  
by IASB, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to  
enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material  
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.  
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Board of Directors is responsible for  
assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters  
related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of  
Directors either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic  
alternative but to do so.  
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting  
process.  
Responsibilities of the réviseur d'entreprises agréé for the audit of the consolidated  
financial statements  
The objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated  
financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or  
error, and to issue a report of the “réviseur d'entreprises agréé” that includes our opinion.  
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit  
conducted in accordance with the Law of 23 July 2016 and with ISAs as adopted for  
Luxembourg by the CSSF will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.  
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in  
the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users  
taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.  
As part of an audit in accordance with the Law of 23 July 2016 and with ISAs as adopted for  
Luxembourg by the CSSF, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional  
skepticism throughout the audit. We also:  
— Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial  
statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive  
to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a  
basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud  
is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery,  
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.  
— Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit  
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing  
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.  
— Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of  
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors.  
— Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' use of the going concern basis  
of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty  
exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability  
to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are  
required to draw attention in our report of the “réviseur d'entreprises agréé” to the related  
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate,  
to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the  
date of our report of the “réviseur d'entreprises agréé”. However, future events or  
conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.  
— Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial  
statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements  
represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair  
presentation.  
— Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the  
entities and business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated  
financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of  
the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.  
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the  
planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant  
deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.  
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with  
relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all  
relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence,  
and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.  
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those  
matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of  
the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our  
report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in  
extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our  
report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to  
outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The directors do not expect that the adoption of the standards listed above will have a material impact on the  
financial statements of the group in future periods, except if indicated below."  
2.3 Summary of material accounting principles and policies  
The main accounting principles and policies adopted in preparing these consolidated financial statements are set  
out below. These policies have been applied consistently by the Group entities.  
. Basis of consolidation  
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control.  
The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement  
with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.  
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and the financial statements  
of those entities over which the Company has control, both directly and indirectly, from the date on which control  
is transferred to the Group until the date such control ceases.  
The financial statements used in the consolidation process are those prepared by the individual Group entities in  
accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)  
. Consolidation procedures used are as follows:  
-
The assets and liabilities and income and expenses of subsidiaries are included on a line-by-line basis,  
allocating to non-controlling interests, where applicable, the share of equity and profit or loss for the year that  
is attributable to them.  
-
-
-
The resulting balances are presented separately in equity and the consolidated income statement; the  
acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations.  
The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the  
liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree, and the equity interests issued by the Group.  
The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent  
consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a  
business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognizes  
any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the  
non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognized amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets.  
Any contingent consideration is measured at fair value at the date of acquisition. If an obligation to pay  
contingent consideration that meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as equity, then it is not  
remeasured, and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, other contingent consideration is  
remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent  
consideration are recognized in consolidated profit or loss.  
-
-
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the interest acquired in the net fair value at  
the acquisition date of the assets and liabilities of the entity or business acquired. Goodwill relating to  
investments accounted for using the equity method is included in the carrying amount of the investment.  
Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the fair values  
of non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If the  
consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is  
recognized in the consolidated profit or loss.

Notes to the consolidation financial statements as at December 31, 2024  
-
-
Acquisition costs on business combinations are expensed as incurred, except if they relate to issue debt or  
equity securities.  
The purchase of equity holdings from non-controlling holders are accounted for as equity transactions that is,  
as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any  
consideration received and the relevant share of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded  
in equity.  
-
Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses (except for foreign currency  
transaction gains or losses) arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated. Unrealized gains arising from  
transactions with equity-accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s  
interest in the investee. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the  
extent that there is no evidence of impairment.  
. Interests in equity-accounted investees  
The Group’s interests in equity-accounted investees comprise interests in associates and a joint venture.  
- Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the  
financial and operating policies. A joint venture is an arrangement in which the Group has joint control, whereby  
the Group has rights to the net assets of the arrangement, rather than rights to its assets and obligations for its  
liabilities.  
- Interests in associates and the joint venture are accounted for using the equity method. They are initially recognized  
at cost, which includes transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the consolidated financial statements  
include the Group’s share of the profit or loss and OCI of equity-accounted investees, until the date on which  
significant influence or joint control ceases.  
The equity method is as follows:  
-
The Group’s share of the profit or loss of an investee is recognized in the consolidated profit or loss from the  
date when significant influence begins up to the date when that significant influence ceases or when the  
investment is classified as held for sale. Investments in associates with negative shareholders’ equity are  
recorded till the Group's interest is reduced to zero and a provision for its losses is accrued only if the Group  
has a legal or constructive obligation to cover such losses.  
-
-
-
-
The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in  
the associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference  
between the recoverable amount of the associate and it’s carrying value.  
If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced, but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate  
share of the amounts previously recognized in the consolidated other comprehensive income is reclassified  
to consolidated profit or loss.  
Unrealized gains and losses generated from transactions between the Company, or its subsidiaries and its  
investees accounted for using the equity method are eliminated on consolidation for the portion pertaining to  
the Group; unrealized losses are eliminated unless they represent impairment.  
Management fees received from associates are included within revenue.  
Appendix A includes a list of the entities included in the scope of consolidation.  
. Non-controlling interests  
Non-controlling interests of consolidated subsidiaries are presented separately from the Group’s equity" therein".  
Non-controlling interests that represent current equity interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the  
net assets of the entity in liquidation, they may be measured at initial recognition either at fair value or in the  
Proportionate share of the non-controlling interests in the recognized values of the net assets acquired - The  
Measurement basis for each acquisition transaction is selected separately.

Notes to the consolidation financial statements as at December 31, 2024  
The non-controlling interest in an acquire is initially measured at the non-controlling interest proportionate share in the  
fair value of the assets, liabilities and contingent consideration recognized on acquisition date.  
. Foreign currency translation  
Functional and presentation currency  
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary  
economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The functional currency of the Company  
is Egyptian pound. The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in ‘US Dollars’ (US$), which is the Group’s  
presentation currency. The numbers disclosed according to the presentation currency “US$” represent the translation  
of the group financial results recognized in its functional currency “EGP “converted to US$ using the appropriate  
exchange rates  
Transactions and balances  
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency of the relevant entity at the exchange rate  
prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated,  
at the reporting date, into the prevailing exchange rates at that date. Foreign currency exchange differences arising on  
the settlement of transactions and the translation of the statement of financial position are recognized in the income  
statement. Gains and losses on long-term financing provided to Group subsidiaries by the parent company, for which  
settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur, are initially recognized in. other comprehensive income and reclassified  
to the income statement on disposal of the relevant entity, transaction in foreign currency for non-monetary assets and  
liabilities carried at historical cost are initially recorded using closing rate at the date of the transaction while items  
carried at fair value should be reported at the rate that existed when fair values were determined.  
If a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in other comprehensive income, any foreign exchange component  
of that gain or loss is also recognized in other comprehensive income.  
Group companies  
The financial statements of the Group entities are translated into the presentation currency as follows:  
Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing exchange rate.  
Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the year.  
All resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity in the “translation reserve”  
until the group loses control of the relevant subsidiary. When the group disposes of a foreign operation the  
translation reserve, previously recognized in equity, is transferred to the income statement.  
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and  
liabilities of the foreign entity and are translated at the closing exchange rate; and  
In the preparation of the consolidated cash flow statement, the cash flows of foreign subsidiaries are translated  
at the average exchange rate for the year, except for the opening and closing cash balances.  
The exchange rates applied in relation to the US$ are as follows:

Property and equipment  
Property and equipment are stated at purchase cost or production cost, net of accumulated depreciation and any  
impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition  
necessary for use and any dismantling and removal costs which may be incurred because of contractual obligations,  
which require the asset to be returned to its original state and condition.  
Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only  
when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the  
item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and  
maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. Each asset  
is treated separately if it has an autonomously determinable useful life and value. Depreciation is charged at rates

Notes to the consolidation financial statements as at December 31, 2024  
calculated to write off the costs over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis from the date the asset is  
available and ready for use.  
The useful lives of property and equipment and their residual values are reviewed and updated, where necessary, at  
least at each year-end. Land is not depreciated. When a depreciable asset is composed of identifiable separate  
components whose useful lives vary significantly from those of other components of the asset, depreciation is  
calculated for each component separately, applying the “component approach”.  
The useful lives estimated by the Group for the various categories of property and equipment are as follows.  
Number of years  
Buildings  
50  
3-8  
5-10  
3-5  
5-10  
3-6  
Leasehold improvements and renovations  
Machinery  
Computer equipment  
Furniture and fixtures  
Vehicles  
Gains or (losses) arising from the sale or retirement of assets are determined as the difference between the net  
disposal proceeds and the net carrying amount of the asset sold or retired and are recognized in the income statement  
in the period incurred.  
Leases  
With the adoption of IFRS 16, the Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the  
date at which the leased asset is available for use. Each lease payment is allocated between the principal liability and  
finance costs. Finance costs are charged to the income statement over the lease period using the effective interest  
rate method.  
As A leasee , right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost comprising the following: (i) the amount of the initial  
measurement of lease liability; (ii) any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease  
incentives received; (iii) any initial direct costs and, if applicable, (iv) restoration costs. Payments associated with  
short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized as an expense in the income statement on a straight-  
line basis.  
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the net present value of the following: (i) fixed lease payments, (ii) variable  
lease payment that are based on an index or a rate and, if applicable, (iii) amounts expected to be payable by the  
lessee under residual value guarantees, and (iv) the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably  
certain to exercise that option. Lease liabilities do not include any non-lease components that may be included in the  
related contracts.  
Lease payments are subsequently measured at amortized cost and discounted using the interest rate implicit in the  
lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the Group’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the Group  
would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic  
environment with similar terms and conditions.  
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated on a straight-line basis over the entire term of the contract, unless  
the contract provides for the transfer of ownership at the end of the lease term or the cost of the lease reflects the  
fact that the lessee will exercise the purchase option. In this case, the depreciation must be the shorter of the useful  
life of the asset and the duration of the contract. The estimated useful lives for right-of-use assets are calculated  
according to the same criterion applied to owned tangible assets. In addition, the right-of-use asset is decreased by  
any impairment losses and adjusted to reflect any remeasurement of the associated lease liability.  
In the statement of financial position, the Group presents right-of-use assets within property and equipment and lease  
liabilities within current and non-current borrowings.  
In the income statement, interest expense on lease liabilities constitutes a component of financial expenses and is  
shown separately from the depreciation of right-of-use assets.

Notes to the consolidation financial statements as at December 31, 2024  
Sale and leaseback  
An entity (the seller-lessee) transfers an asset to another entity (the buyer-lessor) and leases that asset back from the  
buyer-lessor, both the seller-lessee and the buyer-lessor shall account for the transfer contract and the lease.  
Assessing whether the transfer of the asset is a sale  
An entity shall apply the requirements for determining when a performance obligation is satisfied in IFRS 15 to  
determine whether the transfer of an asset is accounted for as a sale of that asset.  
Transfer of the asset is a sale.  
If the transfer of an asset by the seller-lessee satisfies the requirements of IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale of  
the asset:  
The seller-lessee shall measure the right-of-use asset arising from the leaseback at the proportion of the previous  
carrying amount of the asset that relates to the right of use retained by the seller-lessee. Accordingly, the seller-  
lessee shall recognise only the amount of any gain or loss that relates to the rights transferred to the buyer-lessor.  
If the fair value of the consideration for the sale of an asset does not equal the fair value of the asset, or if the  
payments for the lease are not at market rates, an entity shall make the following adjustments to measure the sale  
proceeds at fair value:  
Any below-market terms shall be accounted for as a prepayment of lease payments; and  
Any above-market terms shall be accounted for as additional financing provided by the buyer-lessor to the  
seller-lessee.  
Transfer of the asset is not a sale :  
If the transfer of an asset by the seller-lessee does not satisfy the requirements of IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a  
sale of the asset, the seller-lessee shall continue to recognise the transferred asset and shall recognise a financial  
liability equal to the transfer proceeds. It shall account for the financial liability applying IFRS 9.  
Impairment of non-financial assets  
Assets that have an indefinite useful life – for example, goodwill– are not subject to amortisation and are tested  
annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or  
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is  
recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. In determining an  
asset’s value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax rate that reflects the market’s  
current assessment of the cost of money for the investment period and the specific risk profile of the asset. The  
recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of  
assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows  
(cash-generating units, “CGU”). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for  
possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.  
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the CGUs,  
or groups of CGUs, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each unit or group of units to  
which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for  
internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level. Goodwill impairment reviews  
are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment.  
The carrying value of goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and the  
fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment is recognized immediately as an expense and is not subsequently  
reversed.  
Investment property  
Investment properties are property (land or a building or part of a building or both) held by the Group to earn rental  
income or for capital appreciation or both, rather than for sale in the ordinary course of business or for use in supply  
of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Investment properties are initially measured at cost. The cost of  
a purchased investment property comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure.  
Directly attributable expenditure includes, for example, professional fees for legal services, property transfer taxes  
and other transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Group has elected to measure investment properties  
at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any.  
Investment property is derecognized upon disposal, when it is permanently withdrawn from use and no future  
economic benefits expected from its disposal. Gains or losses arising from the retirement or disposal of investment  
property are determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset  
and are recognized in the consolidated profit or loss in the period of the retirement or disposal. Reclassifications to  
10  
Orascom Investment Holding S.A.E. (In thousands of US$ dollars)  
Notes to the consolidation financial statements as at December 31, 2024  
/ from investment property are made when, and only when, there is a change of use.  
Revenue from operating lease rentals is recognized on a straight-line basis over the relevant term of the lease. The  
rental income generated by investment properties is recognized within revenues in the consolidated income  
statement.  
Depreciation is charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each  
component of the investment properties. The estimated useful lives of leased units are estimated at 50 years.  
Financial assets  
.
Recognition and measurement  
Trade receivables and debt securities issued are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial  
assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions  
of the instrument.  
A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is  
initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at FVTPL, transaction costs that are directly attributable to its  
acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the  
transaction price.  
.
Classification and Subsequent Measurement  
The Group classifies non-derivative financial assets into the following categories:  
Amortized cost  
FVOCI – debt investment  
FVOCI – equity investment or  
FVTPL.  
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business  
model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of  
the first reporting period following the change in the business model.  
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as  
at FVTPL:  
It is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and  
Its contractual terms give rise on specific dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and  
interest on the principal amount outstanding.  
A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as  
FVTPL:  
It is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows  
and selling financial assets; and  
Its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and  
interest on the principal amount outstanding.  
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading the Group may irrevocably elect to present  
subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in OCI. This election is made on an investment-by-investment  
basis.  
All financial assets not classified as measured at amortised cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at  
FVTPL. This includes all derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate a  
financial asset that otherwise meets the requirements to be measured at amortised cost or at FVOCI as at FVTPL if  
doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.  
.
Financial assets – Business model assessment  
The Group assesses the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held at a portfolio level because  
this best reflects the way the business is managed, and information is provided to management. The information  
considered includes:  
The stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies in practice. These  
include whether management’s strategy focuses on earning contractual interest income, maintaining a  
particular interest rate profile, matching the duration of the financial assets to the duration of any related  
liabilities, or expected cash outflows or realizing cash flows through the sale of the assets.  
How the performance of the portfolio is evaluated and reported to the Group’s management.  
the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business  
model) and how those risks are managed.  
11  
Orascom Investment Holding S.A.E. (In thousands of US$ dollars)  
Notes to the consolidation financial statements as at December 31, 2024  
How managers of the business are compensated – e.g., whether compensation is based on the fair value of  
the assets managed or the contractual cash flows collected; and  
The frequency, volume, and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for such sales  
and expectations about future sales activity.  
Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered  
sales for this purpose, consistent with the Group’s continuing recognition of the assets.  
Financial assets that are held for trading or are managed and whose performance is evaluated on a fair value basis  
are measured at FVTPL.  
.
Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest  
For the purposes of this assessment, ‘principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition.  
‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal  
amount outstanding during a particular period and for other basic lending risks and costs (e.g., liquidity risk and  
administrative costs), as well as a profit margin.  
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Group considers  
the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual  
term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In  
making this assessment, the Group considers:  
Contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows.  
terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable-rate features.  
prepayment and extension features; and  
terms that limit the Group’s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g., non-recourse features).  
.
Financial assets – Subsequent measurement and gains and losses  
Financial assets at  
FVTPL  
These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any  
interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.  
Financial assets at  
amortized cost  
These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.  
The amortized cost is reduced by impairments losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains  
and losses and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss derecognition is  
recognized in profit or loss.  
.
Financial liabilities – Classification, subsequent measurement and gains and losses  
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at  
FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition.  
Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense,  
are recognised in profit or loss. Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the  
effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss.  
Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in profit or loss.  
.
Derecognition  
Financial assets are derecognized when one of the following conditions is met:  
The contractual right to receive the cash flows from the asset has expired.  
The Group has substantially transferred all of the risks and rewards related to the asset, transferring its rights to  
receive the cash flows from the asset or assuming a contractual obligation to pass the cash flows received to one  
or more beneficiaries by virtue of an agreement that meets the requirements set out in IFRS 9 (pass through test)  
The Group has not transferred nor substantially maintained all the risks and rewards related to the financial asset  
but has transferred control.  
.
Impairment of financial assets  
The Group recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (“ECL”) on:  
- Trade receivables related to fees and commission under the scope of IFRS 15 (“Revenues from Contracts with  
Customers”)  
- Financial assets measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI. The Group applies a simplified approach to measure  
some of these assets. For further information, please, refer to the section 3. Use of estimates and critical judgments-  
Impairment of financial assets.  
Impairment losses on financial assets are recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss under  
“Impairment loss of other financial assets”.  
12  
Orascom Investment Holding S.A.E. (In thousands of US$ dollars)  
Notes to the consolidation financial statements as at December 31, 2024  
Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial  
instrument. 12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12  
months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).  
For trade receivables related to fees and commission, the Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to 12-  
month ECLs.  
For financial assets measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, the Group measures loss allowances at an amount  
equal to 12-month ECLs. However, a lifetime ECLs is elected if the credit risk on the financial instruments has  
increased significantly since initial recognition.  
Significant increase in credit risk and default  
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition,  
the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or  
effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Group’s historical  
experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information.  
The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when:  
.
There is a breach of financial covenants by the counterparty; or the information developed internally or  
obtained from external sources indicates that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors, including the Group,  
in full (without considering any collateral held by the Group);  
or  
.
The financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless the Group has reasonable and supportable  
information to demonstrate that a more lagging default criterion is more appropriate  
Measurement of ECLs  
ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value  
of all cash shortfalls (i.e., the difference between the cash flows due to the entity in accordance with the  
contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive).  
ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.  
Credit-impaired financial assets  
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether financial assets are credit impaired. A financial asset is ‘credit-  
impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial  
asset have occurred.  
Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:  
Significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer.  
A breach of contract such as a default or being more than 90 days past due.  
The restructuring of a loan or advance by the Group on terms that the Group would not consider otherwise.  
It is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or another financial reorganization; or  
The disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.  
Presentation of allowance for ECL  
ECL for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.  
For financial instruments at FVOCI, the ECL is charged to consolidated profit or loss and is recognized in OCI.  
Write-off  
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of  
recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. The Group individually makes an assessment with  
respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The  
Group expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off  
could still be subject to enforcement activities to comply with the Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.  
Subsequent recoveries of an asset that was previously written off are recognized as a reversal of impairment in the  
consolidated statement of profit or loss when the recovery occurs.  
Financial liabilities  
Financial liabilities consisting of borrowings, trade payables and other obligations are recognized when the Group  
becomes a party to the related contractual clauses and are initially recognized at fair value, adjusted by any directly  
attributable transaction costs.  
Financial liabilities and trade payables, with the exception of derivative financial instruments, are subsequently  
measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method

Notes to the consolidation financial statements as at December 31, 2024  
. Derecognition of financial liabilities  
The financial liabilities are derecognized when they are extinguished, namely when the contractual obligation has  
been met, cancelled, or prescribed. An exchange of debt instruments with substantially different contractual terms,  
must be accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial  
liability. Similarly, a substantial modification of the contractual terms of an existing financial liability must be  
accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability.  
Finance income and finance costs  
The Group’s finance income and finance costs include:  
Interest income.  
Interest expense.  
Dividend income.  
Net gain or loss on financial assets at FVTPL.  
Foreign currency gain or loss on financial assets and financial liabilities; impairment losses (and  
reversals).  
Interest income or expense is recognised under the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognised in  
profit or loss on the date on which the Group’s right to receive payment is established.  
The ‘effective interest rate’ is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the  
expected life of the financial instrument to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset, or the amortised cost of  
the financial liability.  
In calculating interest income and expense, the effective interest rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the  
asset (when the asset is not credit‑impaired) or to the amortised cost of the liability. However, for financial assets  
that have become credit‑impaired after initial recognition, interest income is calculated by applying the effective  
interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset. If the asset is no longer credit‑impaired, then the calculation  
of interest income reverts to the gross basis.  
Interest income is recognized using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired, the Group reduces  
the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash-flow discounted at the original  
effective interest rate of the instrument and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on  
impaired loans is recognized using the original effective interest rate.  
Cash and cash equivalents  
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short-term highly liquid  
investments with original maturities of three months or less. In the consolidated statement of financial position,  
bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.  
The group recognize loss allowances for ECL on the cash closing balance. The group measures loss allowances at  
an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.  
Current and deferred income tax  
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the income statement, except  
to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in equity.  
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the  
reporting date in the countries where the Group’s subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income.  
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax  
regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected  
to be paid to the tax authorities.  
Deferred income tax is recognized, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising  
between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the Consolidated Financial Statements.  
However, deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or the initial  
recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction  
affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws)  
that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related  
deferred income tax asset is realized, or the deferred income tax liability is settled.  
Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be  
available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.  
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, associates, and  
joint ventures, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it  
is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the near future.  
14  
Orascom Investment Holding S.A.E. (In thousands of US$ dollars)  
Notes to the consolidation financial statements as at December 31, 2024  
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and  
assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different  
tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or their tax assets and liabilities  
will be realised simultaneously.  
Provisions  
Provisions are only recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation arising from past  
events that will probably result in a future outflow of resources, and the amount has been reliably estimated.  
Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. The amount provided represents the best estimate of the  
present value of the outlay required to meet the obligation. The interest rate used in determining the present value  
of the liability reflects current market rates and considers the specific risk of each liability.  
Earnings per share  
Basic Earnings Per Share:  
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to equity holders of the  
Company, both from continuing and discontinued operations, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares  
in issue during the year excluding ordinary shares purchased by the Company and held as treasury shares.  
Diluted Earnings Per Share:  
Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to equity holders of the  
Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares of the Company outstanding during the year where,  
compared to basic earnings per share, the weighted average number of shares outstanding is modified to include the  
conversion of all dilutive potential shares, while the profit for the year is modified to include the effects of such  
conversion net of taxation. Diluted earnings per share are not calculated when there are losses as any dilutive effect  
would improve earnings per share.  
Employee benefits  
Short-term employee benefits  
Short‑term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount  
expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past  
service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.  
Share-based payment arrangements  
The grant‑date fair value of equity‑settled share‑based payment arrangements granted to employees is generally  
known as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards.  
The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and  
non‑market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognised is based on  
the number of awards that meet the related service and non‑market performance conditions at the vesting date.  
For share‑based payment awards with non‑vesting conditions, the grant‑date fair value of the share‑based payment  
is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true‑up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.  
The fair value of the amount payable to employees in respect of SARs, which are settled in cash, is recognised as an  
expense with a corresponding increase in liabilities, over the period during which the employees become  
unconditionally entitled to payment. The liability is remeasured at  
each reporting date and at settlement date based on the fair value of the SARs. Any changes in the liability are  
recognised in profit or loss.  
Termination benefits  
Termination benefits are expensed at the earlier of when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits  
and when the Group recognises costs for a restructuring. If benefits are not expected to be settled wholly within 12  
months of the reporting date, then they are discounted.  
Business Combination  
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combination, regardless of whether equity  
instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises:  
Fair values of the assets transferred.  
Liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquired business.  
Equity interests issued by the group.  
Fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement and.  
Fair value of any pre-existing equity interest in the subsidiary.  
15  
Orascom Investment Holding S.A.E. (In thousands of US$ dollars)  
Notes to the consolidation financial statements as at December 31, 2024  
Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are, with  
limited exceptions, measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date.  
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.  
The excess of the:  
Consideration transferred.  
Amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity, and  
Acquisition date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquired entity  
Over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If those amounts are less than the  
fair value of the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly on profit or  
loss as a bargain purchase.  
Where the settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted  
to their present value as the date of exchange. The discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing rate,  
being the rate at which a similar borrowing could be obtained from an independent financier under comparable  
terms and conditions.  
Contingent consideration is classified either as equity or a financial liability. Amounts classified as a financial  
liability are subsequently remeasured to fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated profit  
or loss.  
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously  
held equity interest in the acquire is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date. Any gains or losses arising from  
such remeasurement are recognized in the consolidated profit or loss.  
In case that initial treatment of business combination is not complete at the end of financial period consolidated, the  
group recognizes temporary amounts for accounts and during the measurement period not to exceed one year from  
the date of acquisition. The adjustment is performed retrospectively for completion of new information (Intangible  
assets, deferred taxes/provisions, and others).  
Segment reporting  
Operating segments are reported in a manner which is consistent with the internal reporting information provided  
to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating  
resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the board of directors of the  
Company.  
Discontinued operations  
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group’s business that represents a separate major line of business  
or geographical area of operations that has been disposed of or is held for sale, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively  
with a view to resale. Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earliest of disposal or when the  
operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. When an operation is classified as a  
discontinued operation, the comparative income statement is re-presented as if the operation had been discontinued  
from the start of the comparative period.  
Revenue from contracts with customers  
The company recognizes revenue based on the following five steps:  
Determination of the contract with the client.  
Determination of the contractual obligation to transport goods and/or services (known as performance  
obligations).  
Determination of the price of the transaction.  
Allocation of the transaction price to performance obligations determined based on the independent  
selling price for each good or service.  
Recognition of income upon fulfilment of the relevant performance obligation.  
The Group does not recognize any assets associated with the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a  
customer that are expected to be not recovered. The majority of revenue is recognized over a period of time and the  
Group applies the practical expedient to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when  
incurred if the amortisation period of the asset that would otherwise be recognized is one year or less.  
Specifically, the Group mainly recognizes revenue from entertainment and Other trading activities.  
16  
Orascom Investment Holding S.A.E. (In thousands of US$ dollars)  
Notes to the consolidation financial statements as at December 31, 2024  
The following is a statement of the group revenues and how to define each revenue:  
A. Revenue from Entertainment Segment  
Revenue from entertainment segment is predominantly generated by Orascom pyramids entertainment (“OPE”)  
and Orascom sound and light “OSL” which includes Sound and light shows and entertainment activities and the  
pyramids site.  
A.1 Orascom pyramids entertainment (“OPE”)  
Rental income: Rental income is recognized according to the accrual basis and in the straight-line manner  
according to the essence of the lease agreement.  
Sponsorship Revenue: Care income is recognized by the distribution of sponsorship consideration on a  
straight-line basis over the duration of the sponsorship contract.  
Events revenue: Events revenue is recognized when performing event for customers and no revenue is  
recognized in case of uncertainty of refund for this revenue or associated costs.  
A-2 Orascom sound and light “OSL  
Revenues of sound and light shows: - It is represented in the revenues resulting from sound light shows  
presented within the archaeological pyramids area.  
B. Revenue from investment property Segment  
Revenue from investment property is recognized according to the accrual basis and in the straight-line manner  
according to the rental contract duration.  
C. Revenue from other trading activities  
Revenue from other trading activities is predominantly generated by O-Trade and Blue EV recognized according  
to the accrual basis based on agreement and revenue recognition criteria.  
EBITDA Definition (Alternative performance measure)  
Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation (adjusted EBITDA).  
A management has presented the performance measure adjusted EBITDA because it monitors this  
performance measure at a consolidated level, and it believes that this measure is relevant to an  
understanding of the Group’s financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated by adjusting profit  
from continuing operations to exclude the impact of taxation, net finance costs, depreciation,  
amortisation, impairment losses/reversals related to goodwill, intangible assets, and other financial assets.  
Adjusted EBITDA is not a defined performance measure in IFRS Accounting Standards. The Group’s  
definition of adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable with similarly titled performance measures and  
disclosures by other entities.  
Repurchase and reissue of ordinary shares (treasury shares)  
When shares recognised as equity are repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, which includes directly  
attributable costs, is recognised as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares and  
are presented in the treasury share reserve. When treasury shares are sold or reissued subsequently, the amount  
received is recognised as an increase in equity and the resulting surplus or deficit on the transaction is presented  
within share premium.  
3. Use of estimates and critical judgements  
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements requires that the directors apply accounting policies and  
methodologies that, in some circumstances, are based upon complex and subjective judgments and estimates that  
are based on historical experience and assumptions that are considered reasonable and realistic at the time,  
considering the relevant circumstances for example the assessment of control over subsidiaries and associates as  
well as the impairment of goodwill amount. The application of such estimates and assumptions affects the amounts  
recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated  
statement of comprehensive income and cash flows, as well as in the notes. Actual results might differ from such  
estimates due to the uncertainty surrounding the assumptions and conditions upon which estimates are based. The  
accounting estimates that require the more subjective judgment of management in making assumptions or estimates  
regarding the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain and for which changes in conditions may significantly  
affect the results reported in these Consolidated Financial Statements are summarised below.  
A. Valuation of financial instruments – Note (17)  
-
‘Fair value’ is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly  
transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal or, in its absence, the most  
advantageous market to which the Group has access at that date. The fair value of a liability reflects its  
non‑performance risk.  
17  
Orascom Investment Holding S.A.E. (In thousands of US$ dollars)  
Notes to the consolidation financial statements as at December 31, 2024  
-
-
A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair values, for both  
financial and non‑financial assets and liabilities  
When one is available, the Group measures the fair value of an instrument using the quoted price in an active  
market for that instrument. A market is regarded as ‘active’ if transactions for the asset or liability take place  
with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis  
-
If there is no quoted price in an active market, then the Group uses valuation techniques that maximise the  
use of relevant observable inputs and minimise the use of unobservable inputs. The chosen valuation  
technique incorporates all of the factors that market participants would consider in pricing a transaction.  
If an asset or a liability measured at fair value has a bid price and an ask price, then the Group measures assets  
and long positions at a bid price and liabilities and short positions at an ask price.  
The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition is normally the transaction  
price – i.e., the fair value of the consideration given or received. If the Group determines that the fair value  
on initial recognition differs from the transaction price and the fair value is evidenced neither by a quoted  
price in an active market for an identical asset or liability nor based on a valuation technique for which any  
unobservable inputs are judged to be insignificant in relation to the measurement, then the financial  
instrument is initially measured at fair value, adjusted to defer the difference between the fair value on initial  
recognition and the transaction price. Subsequently, that difference is recognised in profit or loss on an  
appropriate basis over the life of the instrument but no later than when the valuation is wholly supported by  
observable market data, or the transaction is closed out.  
-
-
B. Fair value hierarchy  
For fair value measurement recognized in the statement of financial position, IFRS 13 requires an entity to classify  
fair value measurements based on a fair value hierarchy, with the following levels, by reference to the significance  
of the inputs used in making measurement:  
Level 1 inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for items identical to the asset being  
measured.  
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included within Level 1 that are directly  
or indirectly observable.  
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are usually determined based on management’s assumptions.  
However, Level 3 inputs must reflect the assumptions that market participants would use when determining  
an appropriate price for the asset.  
Fair value is a market-based measure, based on assumptions of prices and inputs considered from the perspective  
of a market participant that are current as of the measurement date, rather than an entity-specific measure.  
Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the funds the Group invest into have their own  
assumptions that are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the  
measurement date. The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary from investment to  
investment and are affected by a wide variety of factors, including the type of investment, whether the investment  
is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to  
the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable  
in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Because of the inherent uncertainty of  
valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had  
a ready market for the investments existed.  
Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by various funds in determining fair value is greatest for  
investments categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different  
levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy which the fair value  
measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value  
measurement.  
When determining fair value, the funds use valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and  
minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The valuation techniques used by the funds to determine fair value are  
consistent with the market or income approaches. The market approach includes valuation techniques that use  
prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets,  
liabilities, or a group of assets and liabilities. The funds generally use the market approach to value exchange-  
traded securities.  
The funds value equity securities that are traded on a national securities exchange at their last reported sales price.  
18  
Orascom Investment Holding S.A.E. (In thousands of US$ dollars)  
Notes to the consolidation financial statements as at December 31, 2024  
The funds generally value equity securities traded in the over the counter (OTC) markets and listed securities for  
which no sale was reported on that date at their last reported bid price if held long, and last reported ask price if  
sold short. To the extent that equity securities are actively traded, and valuation adjustments are not applied, they  
are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Equity securities traded on inactive markets or valued by  
reference to similar instruments are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.  
The Group has not disclosed the fair values of financial instruments such as short-term trade receivables, trade  
payables, other receivables, and other payables, because their carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of  
fair value.  
C. Impairment of non-current assets  
Non-current assets are reviewed to determine whether there are any indications that the net carrying amount of these  
assets may not be recoverable and that they have suffered an impairment loss that needs to be recognized. In order  
to determine whether any such elements exist, it is necessary to make subjective measurements, based on  
information obtained within the Group, in the market and on past experience. When indicators are identified that an  
asset may have become impaired, the Group estimates the impairment loss using suitable valuation techniques. The  
identification of elements indicating that a potential impairment exists and estimates of the amount of the  
impairment, depend on factors that may vary in time, affecting management’s assessments and estimates.  
D. Impairment of financial assets  
The Group applies a simplified approach to measure expected credit losses of trade receivables related to fees and  
commission and financial assets measured at amortized cost and FVOCI. In a simplified approach expected credit  
losses are measured on the basis of a lifetime or 12-month expected loss allowance. The expected credit losses are  
based on historical information on actual credit losses on receivables. The model considers other information on the  
future economic conditions available at the time of the measurement.  
E. Discontinued operation  
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group’s business, the operations, and cash flows of which can be  
clearly distinguished from the rest of the Group and which:  
-
-
Represents a separate major line of business or geographic area of operations.  
Is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of a separate major line of business or geographic area of  
operations; or  
-
Is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.  
Classification as a discontinued operation occurs at the earlier of disposal or when the operation meets the criteria  
to be classified as held‑for‑sale. When an operation is classified as a discontinued operation, the comparative  
statement of profit or loss and OCI is re‑presented as if the operation had been discontinued from the start of the  
comparative year.  
F. Intangibles  
Intangible assets constitute a significant part of the Group’s total assets and the scheduled amortisation charges from  
a significant part of the annual operation expenses. The useful economic lives arrived at, on the basis of  
management’s estimates and assumptions, have a major impact on the valuation of intangible assets.  
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its intangible assets to determine  
whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If such indication exists, the  
recoverable amount of the intangible asset is estimated, in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if  
any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the  
recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis  
of allocation can be identified, intangible assets are allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they  
are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis  
can be identified.  
G. Significant influence in North Korea  
The Company’s investment in North Korea relates primarily to the 60% voting rights in the local telecom operator  
Koryolink. The accounting treatment has been modified during 2015 through recognizing it as an investment in  
associates instead of subsidiaries, as the OIH (Egypt) Group management believes in the existence of significant  
influence instead of control.  
In the light of international sanctions that the United States administration has decided to impose on the North  
Korean government and its various departments, the OIH (Egypt) Group’s management closely monitors ongoing  
activities to make sure that the sanctions are not violated, and the two sides reached some understanding of the  
19  
Orascom Investment Holding S.A.E. (In thousands of US$ dollars)  
Notes to the consolidation financial statements as at December 31, 2024  
organizational and commercial frameworks focused on organizing the work of telecommunications market in North  
Korea.  
The accounting treatment has been modified during period ended September 30, 2015, though recognizing it as an  
investment in associates instead of investment in subsidiaries, as the Group management believes that the existence  
of significant influence instead of control  
The accounting treatment has been modified during period ended September 30, 2015, though recognizing it as an  
investment in associates instead of investment in subsidiaries, as the Group's management believes that the  
existence of significant influence instead of control due to the increase of the restrictions, financial and operating  
difficulties facing Koryolink due to the international sanction imposed by the international community including  
the United States of America, the European Union, and the United Nations."  
These sanctions have the effect of restricting financial transactions and the import and export of goods and services,  
including goods and services required to operate, maintain, and develop mobile networks. In addition, the  
restrictions implemented affect the ability of its associate to transfer profits to the parent (return of funds to its  
native).  
On September 11, 2017, the United Nations Security Council issued a resolution obliging member state of the  
United Nations to pass laws prohibiting joint ventures and existing partnerships with the North Korean Republic  
unless approval is obtained to continue such joint ventures.  
The Group’s management submitted an official request through Ministry of the foreign affairs of the Government of  
the Arab Republic of Egypt in order to be excluded from adhering to the said resolution.  
On December 26, 2018, the request to the Security Council Committee established to follow up the implementation  
of sanctions on North Korea was approved, with the exception of Koryolink, to ban foreign investment in North  
Korea and to allow Orascom Investment Holding to continue its activities in North Korea. And consider the company  
as a telecommunications infrastructure company offering a public service.  
During the third quarter of 2022, Koryolink announced an increase in the company's capital by about 20 million  
euros, and KPTC, the shareholder of Koryolink by 25% at that time, subscribed to the entire shares of the capital  
increase, with Orascom Investment Holding refraining from subscribing to it. This increase led to a Dilution of  
Orascom Investment Holding's shareholding in Koryolink from 75% to 60%.

H. Depreciation of non-current assets  
The cost of property and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis throughout the useful economic life of the  
relevant asset. The useful economic life is determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and is based  
upon historical experience for similar assets, market conditions, and forecasts regarding future events that could  
have an impact on useful life, including changes in technology. Therefore, the actual useful economic life may differ  
from the estimated useful life. The Group periodically evaluates sector and technology changes in order to update  
the remaining useful life. Such periodic updates could result in a change during the depreciation period, and  
therefore also in the depreciation in future periods.  
I. Taxes  
Income taxes (both current income tax and deferred taxes) are determined in each country whereby the  
Group operates in accordance with a prudent interpretation of the applicable tax regulations.  
This process results in complex estimates in determining taxable and deductible income and taxable temporary  
differences between accounting and tax values. In particular, deferred tax assets are recognized when it is probable  
that there will be future taxable income against which the temporary differences can be utilised. The assessment of  
20  
Orascom Investment Holding S.A.E. (In thousands of US$ dollars)  
Notes to the consolidation financial statements as at December 31, 2024  
the recoverability of deferred tax assets, in relation to tax losses that can be used in future periods and deductible  
temporary differences, considers the estimated future taxable income on the basis of a prudent tax planning.  
J. Provisions and contingent liabilities  
Management assesses events and circumstances indicating that the Group may have an obligation resulting in the  
ordinary course of business, Management applies its judgment in determining whether the recognition criteria  
have been met through assessing the probability of the obligation, making assumptions about timing and amounts  
of future cash outflows expected to settle the obligation.  
4. Financial Risk Management  
Financial risk factors  
The Group is exposed to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk and cash flow and  
fair value interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. In particular, the Group is exposed to risks from movements  
in exchange rates, interest rates and market prices. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the  
unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s performance  
through ongoing operational and finance activities. The management has overall responsibility for the establishment  
and oversight of the Group’s risk management framework.  
i) Market Risk  
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices  
will affect the Group’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk  
management is to manage and control market risk exposure with acceptable parameters, while optimizing the  
returns.  
The Group's strategy is aimed wherever possible at eliminating currency risk and managing derivatives in  
compliance with the policies and strategies defined within the Group, taking into consideration the different effects  
that these instruments could have on the profit or loss and the statement of financial position as a function of their  
classification and accounting treatment.  
ii) Foreign exchange risk  
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising when its business transactions  
are in currencies other than its functional currency. The main currencies to which the Group is exposed are the US  
dollar (“US$”), the Euro (“EUR”), DPRK Won (“KPW”) , Brazilian Real (“BRL”) , Lebanese Pound( LBP) and  
the Egyptian Pound (“EGP”).  
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk arising in two separate ways:  
a) Foreign exchange operations risk  
The Group entities predominantly execute their operating activities in their respective functional  
currencies. Some Group subsidiaries are, however, exposed to foreign currency risks in connection with  
scheduled payments in currencies that are not their functional currencies.  
In general, this relates to foreign currency denominated supplier payables due to capital expenditures and  
receivables. The Group monitors the exposure to foreign currency risk on a group basis.  
Management has set up a policy to require Group companies to manage their foreign exchange risk against  
their functional currency. In addition, the Group manages foreign currency risk by matching its principal  
cash outflows to the currency in which the principal cash inflows are denominated. This is generally  
achieved by obtaining loan financing in the relevant currency  
At year end, major net assets / (net liabilities) foreign currencies positions presented in ‘US Dollars’ (US$), were as

b) As of December 31, 2024, if the functional currencies had increased/(decreased) by 10% against the US$,  
Euro, BRL, and GBP with all other variables held constant, the translation of foreign currency would have  
resulted in an increase / (decrease) of US$ $ 7,539 thousand and LBP 493 and Euro of 16,895 as well  
as BRL 136 of net profit (2023: US$ $ (8,981) thousand and Euro of (349) and LBP 226 as well as BRL  
7,565 of net profit.  
c) Foreign exchange translation risk  
Due to its international presence, the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statements are exposed to foreign  
exchange fluctuations, as these affect the translation of subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities denominated in  
foreign currencies to the US$ (the Group’s presentational currency). The currencies concerned are mainly  
the Egyptian pound, and the Euro. This represents a translational risk rather than a financial risk given that  
these movements are posted directly to equity in the cumulative translation reserve  
iii) Price risk  
The Group has no exposure to equity instruments of other entities that are publicly traded.  
iv) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk  
The Groups interest rate risk arises from borrowings. Borrowings received at variable interest rates expose the Group  
to cash flow interest rate risk. The Group has not entered into any derivative financial instruments to hedge its  
exposure to cash flow interest rate risk.  
All borrowings from banks outstanding as of December 31, 2024, US$ 17,391thousand (December 31, 2023 US$  
32,490 thousand) note 23 are at a fixed interest rate, at a variable interest rate and interest rate free.  
The Group analyses its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. The Group calculates the impact on the  
consolidated profit or loss of a defined interest rate shift. The same interest rate shift is used for all currencies.  
The impact of a 1% interest rate shift would be a maximum increase/decrease in 2024 finance costs of US$ 0.251  
million. (2023: US$ 0.93 million).

vi) Credit Risk  
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to  
meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and investments  
in debt securities. The carrying amounts of financial assets and contract assets represent the maximum credit  
exposure.  
Impairment losses on financial assets and contract assets recognized in profit or loss were as follow: -

The Group held cash and cash equivalents of US$ 45,714 million (2023: US$ 73,583 million) with banks which are  
rated BB and A+ based on Standard & Poor and are considered to have low credit risk. The cash balances are  
measured on 12-month expected credit losses.  
The Group held cash of US$ 1.2 million in a Lebanese bank as at December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023: US$  
0.552 million). Considering Lebanon's economic and financial crisis represented in hyperinflation, currency  
devaluation, and significant restrictions on foreign currency transfers, the Group assessed the recoverability of these  
cash balances and accordingly, The Group decided to fully impair the total cash balance.  
During August 2022, Koryolink decided, at the request of a shareholder in the company, to grant shareholders,  
without discrimination, a non-interest loan in accordance with the rules and procedures of local law, according to  
the percentage of its contribution to the company's capital. Accordingly, a cash amounting to US$ 86 million was  
transferred to the account of Orascom Investment Holding Company bank account in the Republic of Korea,  
knowing that all local regulations and laws regarding bank transfers and transactions will be applied to the  
mentioned amounts, and Orascom Investment Company will continue to comply with international sanctions  
resolutions in this regard.  
During December 2024, Koryolink Company granted all shareholders additional interest free loan amounted to EUR  
30 million (equivalent to US$31 million as of 31 December 2024) transferred to Orascom investment holding bank  
account.  
24  
Orascom Investment Holding S.A.E. (In thousands of US$ dollars)  
Notes to the consolidation financial statements as at December 31, 2024  
OIH S.A.E. management performed ECL assessment on the cash received from Koryolink Loan and considered that  
there is 50% likelihood of recoverability due to the unpredictability of future developments, including potential  
changes in international sanctions, regulatory restrictions. Therefore, 50% ECL was recorded as at 31 December  
2023 and December 2024.  
Trade receivables  
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer.  
However, management also considers the factors that may influence the credit risk of its customer base, including  
the default risk associated with the industry and country in which customers operate. Details of concentration of  
revenue are included in notes 6.  
The risk management committee has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analysed  
individually for creditworthiness before the Group’s standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are  
offered. The Group’s review includes external ratings, if they are available, financial statements, credit agency  
information, industry information and in some cases bank references. Sale limits are established for each customer  
and reviewed quarterly. Any sales exceeding those limits require approval from the risk management committee.  
In monitoring customer credit risk, customers are grouped according to their credit characteristics, including whether  
they are an individual or a legal entity, whether they are a wholesale, retail or end-user customer, their geographic  
location, industry, trading history with the Group and existence of previous financial difficulties.  
The Group is monitoring the economic environment in Brazil and is taking actions to limit its exposure to customers  
in countries experiencing particular economic volatility and discussion with government of Lebanon regarding  
releasing of the dues.  
The Group does not require collateral in respect of trade and other receivables.  
The Group does not have trade receivable and contract assets for which no loss allowance is recognized because of  
collateral.  
As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the exposure to credit risk for trade receivables risk and contract assets by

vii) Liquidity Risk  
The Group monitors and mitigates liquidity risk arising from the uncertainty of cash inflows and outflows by  
maintaining sufficient liquidity of cash balances. In general, liquidity risk is monitored at entity level whereby each  
subsidiary is responsible for managing and monitoring its cash flows and rolling liquidity reserve forecast in order  
to ensure that it has sufficient committed facilities to meet its liquidity needs.  
Laws and regulations in certain countries, such as North Korea, in which the Group operates limit the conversion of  
current cash balances into foreign currency. Given the nature of the business, Group companies may have to make  
payments in foreign currencies (for example capital expenditures), the lack of individual entity foreign currency

reserves means that these companies are largely dependent on the Company to make these payments on its behalf.

viii)Capital risk management  
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern  
and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.  
ix) Other risks  
Governmental authorisations  
Certain future Group activities, including the GSM operations in Lebanon, are dependent on obtaining appropriate  
government authorisations. Should these authorisations not be obtained or delayed, there could be an adverse impact  
on the future operations of the Group, such as a decrease in revenues or penalty payments due to contractual  
counterparties.  
The telecommunications activity in Lebanon is in accordance with the agreement with the Ministry of  
Telecommunications for the management of Mobile Interim Company One (MIC1) which expired in  
January 31, 2013, and has been renewed annually till December 2019, where the management received a letter from  
the ministry of telecommunications in Lebanon to terminate the contract and to proceed in handing over the  
management.  
Political and economic risk in emerging countries  
A significant amount of the Group’s operations is conducted in Egypt, North Korea. The operations of the Group  
depend on the market economy of the countries in which the subsidiaries or associate operate. In particular, these  
markets are characterised by economies that are in various stages of development or are undergoing restructuring.  
Therefore, the operating results of the Group are affected by the current and future economic and political  
developments in these countries. In particular, the results of operations could be unfavourably affected by changes  
in the political or governmental structures or weaknesses in the local economies in the countries where it operates.  
These changes could also have an unfavourable impact on financial condition, performance, and business prospects.  
Regulatory risk in emerging countries  
Due to the nature of the legal and tax jurisdictions in the emerging countries where the Group operates, it is possible  
that laws and regulations could be amended. This could include factors such as the current tendency to withhold tax  
on the dividends of these subsidiaries, receiving excessive tax assessments, granting of relief to certain operations  
and practices relating to foreign currency exchange. These factors could have an unfavourable effect on the financial  
26  
Orascom Investment Holding S.A.E. (In thousands of US$ dollars)  
Notes to the consolidation financial statements as at December 31, 2024  
activities of the Group and on the ability to receive funds from the subsidiaries.  
Revenue generated by the majority of the Group subsidiaries is expressed in local currency. The Group expects to  
receive most of this revenue from its subsidiaries and therefore it relies on their ability to be able to transfer funds.  
The regulations in the various countries, such as North Korea, where Koryolink operates could reduce the ability to  
pay interest and dividends and to repay loans, credit instruments and securities expressed in foreign currency through  
the transfer of currency. In addition, in some countries it could be difficult to convert large amounts of foreign  
currency due to central bank regulations. The central banks may amend regulations in the future and therefore the  
ability of the Company to receive funds from its subsidiaries may change.

5. Segment reporting  
-
The chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the board of directors of the Company. The board  
of directors reviews the Group’s internal reporting in order to assess its performance and allocate resources,  
mainly from a geographical perspective, of the mobile telecommunication business.  
Pursuant to the decision to dispose of entities previously included in the Media and Technology segment,  
OIH management has changed its internal reporting as analysed by the chief operating decision-maker and  
revised the reportable operating segments as follows:  
-
GSM – Lebanon: Relating to management contract for the Lebanese mobile telecommunications  
operator, Alfa, which is owned by the Lebanese Government. The contract was terminated in  
December 2020. As a result, no revenue was recognized from this contract in 2023 and 2024.  
However, based on our assessment, we continue to consider OTL as part of ongoing operations, as  
there is currently no formal plan in place for the disposal of this segment.  
Entertainment: relates to the entertainment activities provided by OPE and S&L in the Pyramid’s  
area in Egypt.  
Other: relates mainly to the Group’s equity investments, income and expenses related to the parent  
company of the Group (OIH) in addition the entertainment activities provided by OPE in the  
Pyramid’s area in Egypt.  
-
The Group reports on segment reporting, which are independently managed. The chief operating decision-  
maker assesses the performance of such operating segments based on:  
A. Total revenue: The total sales generated by the segment. --(5-A)  
B. Adjusted EBITDA: A measure of profitability that excludes certain expenses and taxes. It is calculated  
as profit before income tax expense, share of profit/(loss) of investment in associates and related  
impairment loss, foreign exchange gains /(loss), financial expense, financial income, gains/(losses) on  
disposal of non-current assets, impairment charges and depreciation and amortization. --(5-B)  
C. Segment capital expenditure: The total cost incurred during the period to acquire property, equipment,  
and intangible assets (excluding goodwill) for the segment. --(5-C)

In 2015 Orascom Investment Holding (OIH) purchased seven floors in Brazil from Bluestone Investment  
Company under a contract that guaranteed a fixed annual return after four years. When the return was not  
achieved, OIH claimed the shortfall.  
In October 2021, Bluestone settled the claim by transferring ownership of 1.5 floors (6 offices) in the same  
building. OIH recognized this settlement as an investment property with a fair value of ~$13 million USD. Of  
this amount, $12 million was recorded as a gain in 2021, with the remaining $1 million allocated to transaction  
costs.  
-
In 2023, OIH received an acquisition offer for its Brazilian assets. To facilitate the sale while bypassing complex  
tenant pre-emptive rights, OIH:  
.
.
.
Established two new Brazilian subsidiaries.  
Transferred the property ownership into these entities.  
Sold 100% of the shares of both subsidiaries to a third-party buyer in September 2023 for 87.5 million  
BRL (~EGP 539 million, net of taxes).

of US$ 13,323 thousand as well as interest with amount US$423 thousand. The transaction was structured such that the purchaser  
pays the consideration in six equal instalments starting from the date of sale and ending in February 2022.

a total amount of US$ 4,442 thousand and US$107 thousand of the third instalment, which was due in August 2020. Therefore,

During 2017, CHEO (Koryolink) the Company’s subsidiary located at North Korea declared and distributed dividends amounting  
to EUR 46.7 million. The Company’s share amounted to EUR 35 million, out of which EUR 29.2 million were directly  
transferred to the Company from North Korea to its bank account in Egypt. Therefore, we will assume a 50% likelihood that it  
will also be able to transfer the existing bank balance of EUR 81,7 million (cash balance in NK as of Dec 21); this implies a PD  
of 0%. We will also assume that there is a likelihood that the Company will not be able to transfer the money out of North Korea  
due to the sanctions and 50% given that Management do not have any plans to utilize this cash balance within the country, this  
implies a PD of 100% that the valuation is performed with Level 3 assumptions.  
* In 2023, OIH S.A.E. management performed ECL assessment and considered that there is 50% likelihood of recoverability due to  
the unpredictability of future developments, including potential changes in international sanctions, regulatory restrictions, etc.  
Therefore, 50% ECL was recorded. As at 31 December 2024, ECL of USD 13 million was booked in profit or loss (2023: USD 45  
million).  
** Until 31 December 2023, cash in North Korea was classified as non-current asset given the management`s intention to utilize  
the cash for loan settlement at maturity date. In 2024, USD 8 million was used for repayment of an old balance of trade payables  
within North Korea and the classification of outstanding balance of USD 114 million changed to current.  
It is worth noting that all transfers are subject to local policies and laws related specified to bank transfers and transactions. OIH  
S.A.E. will continue to comply with international decision specified to international penalties related to this matter.

No deferred tax liability has been recognized in respect of temporary differences associated with investments in  
subsidiaries, branches, and associates, where the Group is in a position to control the timing of the reversal of the  
temporary differences, and it is probable that such differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.  
Should additional information arise in future periods resulting in differences between the tax base and accounting  
base of recorded assets and liabilities in the financial statements as of December 31, 2024, Management will reassess  
its estimate in a way that might result in the recognition of deferred taxes related to those assets and liabilities.  
Deferred tax liability has been recognized in connection with the gain arising from the discounting effect applied to  
the fair value adjustment of the financial liabilities related to Koryolink (Note 11). This provision is made as a  
prudent measure against potential future tax assessments by the Egyptian Tax Authority regarding the taxability of  
this gain.

Carried forward losses should be utilized within a period of 5-6 years at maximum. The management of the Group  
followed a prudent approach and did not recognize a deferred tax asset for unused tax losses as of December 31,  
2024, as the management does not expect sufficient taxable results will be generated in the respective countries. The  
ability of the Group to settle these tax losses against future taxable profits is not impacted by not recording an asset.  
Generally, the Group does not recognize deferred tax assets for temporary differences related to accruals for  
provisions, due to uncertainties in connection with the tax treatment of such expenses, as they might be challenged  
by local tax authorities.

During August 2022, Koryolink decided, at the request of a shareholder in the company, to grant shareholders, without  
discrimination, a non-interest loan in accordance with the rules and procedures of local law, according to the percentage of  
its contribution to the company's capital. The loan, amounting to approximately 81.7 million euros (equivalent to US$ 85  
million as of 31 December 2024), was transferred to the account of Orascom Investment Holding Company in the Republic  
of Korea, knowing that all local regulations and laws regarding bank transfers and transactions will be applied to the  
mentioned amounts, and Orascom Investment Company will continue to comply with international sanctions resolutions in  
this regard.  
-

It is worth noting that the loan is interest-free and for a period of 5 years, which can be automatically increased for another  
period or periods of 3 years each, and it will be agreed between the company and Koryolink on the method of repayment,  
whether in cash or by settlement with other balances between the two companies.
