[1] Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as operating profit before depreciation, amortisation and other one-off items that are not expected to recur, with adjusted EBITDA being a measure monitored by management prior to these non-recurring items.
2 Adjusted net profit excludes non-recurring items in FY 2025 and FX gains in FY 2024.
3 Cash balance includes time deposits, treasury bills, current accounts, and cash on hand.
4 Key operational indicators are calculated based on revenue for the periods of EGP 7,855 million and EGP 5,720 million for FY 2025 and FY 2024, respectively.
5 IDH rolled out 137 new branches in Egypt, one new branch in Jordan, and one new branch in KSA. It is important to note that due to the ongoing conflict in Sudan, only one of IDH's 18 branches in the country is currently operating (reopened in Q3 2024).
Introduction
i. Financial Highlights
· IDH reported consolidated revenue of EGP 7,855 million in FY 2025, representing a 37% year-on-year increase, driven by an 11% rise in test volumes and a 24% increase in average revenue per test (ARPT). Growth remained broad-based across the Group's footprint, with Egypt, Jordan, Nigeria, and Saudi Arabia all delivering solid contributions during the year. On a quarterly basis, Q4 2025 revenue reached EGP 2,074 million, up 29% year-on-year, reflecting continued momentum across both corporate and walk-in business lines.
· Gross profit reached EGP 3,353 million in FY 2025, representing a 54% year-on-year increase, with the gross profit margin (GPM) expanding to 42.7%, compared with 38.1% in FY 2024. Margin expansion was primarily driven by tighter cost controls and scale efficiencies across the Group. Raw materials as a share of revenue declined to 19.3% from 22.0%, while direct wages and salaries improved modestly to 18.4% from 18.6%, reflecting continued optimisation of procurement and workforce productivity. On a quarterly basis, Q4 2025 gross profit stood at EGP 846 million, up 38% year-on-year, with a GPM of 41.0%, underscoring sustained operational efficiency.
· EBITDA increased 61% year-on-year to EGP 2,738 million in FY 2025, with the EBITDA margin expanding to 34.9% from 29.7% last year. Similarly, operating profit also recorded strong growth, increasing by a strong 79% year-on-year to EGP 2.2 billion. The improvement reflects stronger gross profitability and disciplined SG&A management, supported by digitalisation initiatives and operating leverage across the Group. SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue declined year-on-year, despite continued investment in growth initiatives, particularly in Saudi Arabia. On an adjusted basis, EBITDA reached EGP 2,698 million, excluding EGP 40.1 million related to the contribution of Cairo Ray for Radiotherapy following its acquisition in June 2025, resulting in an adjusted EBITDA margin of 34.3%. On a quarterly basis, Q4 2025 EBITDA reached EGP 709 million, up 58% year-on-year, delivering an EBITDA margin of 34.2%. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter amounted to EGP 669 million, corresponding to an adjusted margin of 32.3%.
· Net profit rose 29% year-on-year to EGP 1,302 million in FY 2025, with a net profit margin (NPM) of 16.6%, compared with 17.6% in FY 2024, which included elevated FX gains. Excluding FX effects in FY 2024 and non-recurring items in FY 2025, adjusted net profit increased 79% year-on-year to EGP 1,262 million, with the associated margin expanding to 16.1%, highlighting the strength of the Group's underlying operating performance. On a quarterly basis, Q4 2025 net profit reached EGP 338 million, compared with EGP 284 million in Q4 2024, with a corresponding NPM of 16.3%. Adjusted net profit increased 22% year-on-year to EGP 298 million in Q4 2025. Similarly, operating profit in Q4 2025 recorded a strong 73% year-on-year increase to EGP 555 million.
· IDH's net cash balance recorded EGP 472 million as at 31 December 2025, compared to a net cash of EGP 226 million as at year-end 2024.
· The Board of Directors has declared a dividend of USD 0.0085 per share for the year ended 31 December 2025, representing a total distribution of USD 4.9 million. This payout aligns with our commitment to delivering sustainable shareholder value while maintaining flexibility to fund promising growth projects. Given the current geopolitical landscape and market volatility, the Board remains prudent in its capital allocation. We intend to re-evaluate as market conditions and capital requirements evolve.
ii. Operational Highlights
· As at 31 December 2025, IDH's branch network stood at 767 branches, up 139 branches year-on-year from 628 branches at year-end 2024. Over the past twelve months, the Group inaugurated 137 new branches in Egypt, alongside one new location in Jordan and one additional branch in Saudi Arabia, while operations in Sudan remained largely suspended except for a single partially operational branch. This expansion reflects IDH's continued commitment to enhancing accessibility and deepening market coverage across its operating geographies.
· During FY 2025, IDH conducted 43.5 million tests, representing an 11% year-on-year increase, supported by higher patient throughput across both corporate and walk-in channels. Test volumes continued to grow across Egypt and Jordan despite the price adjustments implemented earlier in the year, underscoring the strength of the Group's brands and the resilience of underlying demand.
· Average revenue per test (ARPT) increased 24% year-on-year to EGP 181 in FY 2025, reflecting the combined impact of pricing actions and a richer test mix driven by expanded radiology, radiotherapy, and specialised diagnostics. Average revenue per patient rose 31% year-on-year to EGP 835, highlighting IDH's continued success in enhancing value capture per patient through cross-selling and broader service offerings.
· IDH served 9.4 million patients during FY 2025, up 5% year-on-year. In parallel, the Group further improved its average tests per patient metric to 4.6, compared with 4.4 in FY 2024. This improvement reflects the effectiveness of IDH's long-term initiatives aimed at deepening patient engagement, including loyalty programmes and digital outreach initiatives rolled out over recent years.
iii. Updates by Geography
· In Egypt (84.6% of total revenue in FY 2025), IDH recorded revenues of EGP 6,642 million during the year, representing 41% year-on-year growth compared to FY 2024. Growth was driven by a 10% increase in test volumes alongside a 28% rise in average revenue per test, reflecting the combined impact of pricing adjustments and a richer test mix.
· IDH's Jordanian subsidiary, Biolab (13.1% of total revenues in FY 2025), reported revenues of JOD 15.0 million, up 7% year-on-year from JOD 14.0 million in FY 2024. In Egyptian pound terms, revenues increased 14% year-on-year to EGP 1,026 million. Performance during the year was supported by a 21% increase in test volumes and a 4% rise in patients served, reflecting continued recovery in patient activity and the sustained effectiveness of Biolab's promotional, digital outreach, and loyalty initiatives.
· In Nigeria (1.5% of total revenues in FY 2025), Echo-Lab recorded revenues of NGN 3,712 million, representing 37% year-on-year growth in local currency terms. In EGP terms, revenue increased 47% year-on-year to EGP 121 million. Growth was supported by continued pricing adjustments to offset local inflation, driving higher average revenue per test, alongside a 6% increase in test volumes. Importantly, Echo-Lab delivered a full year of positive EBITDA in FY 2025 following its turnaround.
· Biolab KSA, IDH's newest venture in Saudi Arabia (0.8% of total revenues in FY 2025), reported revenues of SAR 5.0 million, representing 252% year-on-year growth compared to FY 2024. In Egyptian pound terms, revenues rose to EGP 65 million, reflecting the continued ramp-up in patient activity and growing brand awareness as the network expanded. During the year, Biolab KSA increased its operational footprint to three branches, supporting a sharp increase in both patients served and tests performed. The strong momentum achieved during FY 2025 positions the venture well for further growth as additional locations are launched, with the Group aiming to launch three additional branches in the country (taking the total up to six) in the coming months, and leverage its expanded ownership stake6 to further accelerate growth at its newest geography.
· In Sudan, one branch remained partially operational throughout the year, while the remaining 17 branches continued to be closed indefinitely pending stabilisation of conditions in the country. The Group generated SDG 109 million in revenues in FY 2025, compared with SDG 85.3 million in FY 2024. In EGP terms, revenues amounted to EGP 2.3 million, versus EGP 2.6 million last year.
6 In December 2024, IDH announced the purchase of Izhoor's entire 49% stake in the venture for USD 3.2 million, bringing IDH's effective stake in Biolab KSA to 100% (79% controlled by IDH and 21% by its Jordanian subsidiary Biolab). It is worth noting that Biolab KSA was originally launched as a joint venture between IDH (30%), Biolab (21%), and Izhoor Holding Medical Company (49%) in January 2024.
iv. Management Commentary
Commenting on the Group's FY 2025 performance, IDH Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Hend El-Sherbini, said: "2025 marked another important year in IDH's journey, as we continued to expand access to high-quality diagnostics while strengthening the scale, efficiency, and resilience of our platform. Against a backdrop of improving macroeconomic stability across several of our core markets, the Group delivered strong operational and financial performance, reflecting the success of our disciplined execution, enhanced operating leverage, and long-term strategy focused on value-led growth.
During the year, IDH reported consolidated revenues of EGP 7.9 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 37%, driven by an 11% rise in tests performed and a 24% increase in average revenue per test. The Group performed 43.5 million tests during the year and served 9.4 million patients, with average tests per patient increasing to 4.6, reflecting deeper engagement and improved cross-selling across our expanding service portfolio. Growth was supported by continued expansion of our branch network and a progressively richer service mix, including radiology, radiotherapy, and specialised diagnostics. Importantly, this top-line momentum translated into meaningful profitability expansion. Operating profit also recorded strong growth, increasing by a strong 79% year-on-year to EGP 2.2 billion, reflecting improved cost control and operating leverage across the business. Similarly, EBITDA increased 61% year-on-year to EGP 2.7 billion, with the margin improving to 34.9% versus 29.7% in the previous year, while net profit after tax rose 29% year-on-year to EGP 1.3 billion. When adjusting for non-recurring items and foreign exchange effects, adjusted net profit increased 79%, with the associated margin expanding to 16.1%, highlighting the strength of our underlying operating performance and the structural improvements achieved across our cost base. These results demonstrate the scalability of our business model and our ability to generate sustainable growth while enhancing profitability, even as we continue investing in new markets and specialised capabilities.
As we look ahead, IDH is well positioned to build on the progress achieved during the year. Our expanded network, strengthened service offering, improved cost structure, and enhanced profitability profile provide a solid foundation for continued growth. With a platform that combines scale and an increasingly diversified service mix, we enter the coming period with both momentum and clarity of purpose.
At the same time, management continues to closely monitor evolving macroeconomic conditions and regional developments, including the escalation of the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran in early 2026, which may introduce heightened uncertainty across the region, particularly in markets such as Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
Overall, the progress achieved during 2025 reflects the strength of our strategy, the dedication of our teams, and the trust placed in us by millions of patients across our markets. With clear market-specific action plans, continued operational discipline, and a scalable platform, we are confident in our ability to sustain this momentum and deliver long-term value for our stakeholders while contributing meaningfully to the development of healthcare systems across the region."

A message from the Chair of your Board of Directors
I am pleased to report that 2025 has been a year of strong performance and meaningful progress for your Company.
Building on the resilience demonstrated in prior years, IDH has delivered robust growth, strengthened its regional platform, and enhanced the quality and breadth of its service offering, all while navigating a complex global and regional environment.
Sustained Growth and Expanding Profitability
During the year, IDH recorded revenues of EGP 7.9 billion, representing a 37% year-on-year increase. This performance was driven by an 11% rise in test volumes and a 24% increase in average revenue per test, reflecting both strategic pricing actions and a richer diagnostic mix.
Importantly, growth was not only top-line in nature. EBITDA increased 61% year-on-year to EGP 2.7 billion, with margins expanding to 34.9%, underscoring the strength of the Group's underlying operating momentum, while net profit increased 29% to EGP 1.3 billion with a 17% margin.
These results reflect not only the scalability of our model, but also the strength, depth, and experience of our management team, whose disciplined execution and strategic clarity continue to underpin the Company's success.
Egypt remains the cornerstone of our platform and has continued to deliver strong and resilient operational performance over recent years.
Encouragingly, we saw signs of improving macroeconomic stability throughout 2025, with moderating inflation and greater foreign exchange availability supporting a more constructive business environment.
However, it is important to acknowledge that the weakness and volatility of the Egyptian pound has, in recent years, represented the principal challenge, and in many respects the Achilles' heel of an otherwise strong performance story.
Currency depreciation has impacted reported results and investor sentiment, despite the underlying robustness of the business.
We are cautiously optimistic that increasing economic stability in Egypt, particularly in relation to the Egyptian pound, will provide a more supportive backdrop going forward, although recent geopolitical developments - including the escalation of the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran in early 2026 - may introduce renewed pressure on regional markets and external balances.
Strategic Progress and Regional Expansion
During the year, we continued to make important strategic progress across our footprint.
In Egypt, we strengthened our leadership position and expanded access to high-quality diagnostic services.
The acquisition of Cairo Ray for Radiotherapy marks a significant milestone, enhancing Al Borg Scan's capabilities and positioning the Group more firmly in higher-value, specialised services.
Beyond Egypt, our strategy remains under constant review, with a clear focus on geographic diversification.
The Middle East, and Saudi Arabia in particular, represents a key pillar of our future growth. We are encouraged by the strong momentum of Biolab KSA, where revenues grew significantly and our footprint continues to expand.
Nigeria also delivered encouraging progress, with Echo-Lab achieving full year positive EBITDA, demonstrating the potential of this high growth market following a period of restructuring.
A core strategic priority for the Group is the continued evolution of our revenue mix towards higher-value, more specialised services.
Through investments in radiology, radiotherapy, and advanced diagnostics, we are increasingly focused on driving value-added revenue streams that enhance margins, improve patient outcomes, and strengthen our competitive positioning.
This shift not only supports profitability but also reinforces our long-term ambition to build a fully integrated diagnostics platform across our markets.
The global operating environment during 2025 remained uncertain, shaped by geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, and evolving trade dynamics. Against this backdrop, management acted proactively, implementing prudent inventory strategies and maintaining close supplier relationships.
As a result, the Group experienced no material disruptions and maintained uninterrupted service delivery.
Across our markets, management continues to closely monitor evolving macroeconomic conditions and regional developments, including the escalation of the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran in early 2026, which may introduce heightened economic uncertainty across the region, particularly in markets such as Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
Innovation remains central to our strategy. We continue to invest in digital transformation to enhance operational efficiency, improve patient experience, and unlock greater value from our data capabilities.
We also remain committed to responsible growth, as demonstrated by our continued progress on sustainability and governance.
Strong oversight, a balanced Board, and a robust risk framework remain fundamental to the way we operate.
The recovery in the Company's share price over the past six months has been both encouraging and, in our view, long overdue. It reflects a growing recognition of the strength of our underlying business, the resilience of our operating model, and the significant progress made across our key markets.
We remain focused on delivering sustainable long-term value for our shareholders through disciplined execution, strategic expansion, and continued operational excellence.
The Board of Directors has declared a dividend of USD 0.0085 per share for the year ended 31 December 2025, representing a total distribution of USD 4.9 million. This payout aligns with our commitment to delivering sustainable shareholder value while maintaining flexibility to fund promising growth projects. Given the current geopolitical landscape and market volatility, the Board remains prudent in its capital allocation. We intend to re-evaluate as market conditions and capital requirements evolve.
On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank our management team and employees for their continued dedication and professionalism, as well as our shareholders for their ongoing support.
IDH enters 2026 from a position of strength. With an experienced management team, a clear strategic direction, improving macroeconomic conditions, and a renewed focus on value creation, we are confident in our ability to deliver sustainable growth in the years ahead.
Lord St John of Bletso
Chairman
Chief Executive's Review
2025 marked another important year in IDH's journey, as we continued to expand access to high-quality diagnostics while strengthening the scale, efficiency, and resilience of our platform. Against a backdrop of improving macroeconomic stability across several of our core markets, the Group delivered strong operational and financial performance, reflecting the success of our disciplined execution, enhanced operating leverage, and long-term strategy focused on value-led growth.
During the year, IDH reported consolidated revenues of EGP 7.9 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 37%, driven by an 11% rise in tests performed and a 24% increase in average revenue per test. The Group performed 43.5 million tests during the year and served 9.4 million patients, with average tests per patient increasing to 4.6, reflecting deeper engagement and improved cross-selling across our expanding service portfolio. Growth was supported by continued expansion of our branch network and a progressively richer service mix, including radiology, radiotherapy, and specialised diagnostics. Importantly, this top-line momentum translated into meaningful profitability expansion. Operating profit also recorded strong growth, increasing by a strong 79% year-on-year to EGP 2.2 billion, reflecting improved cost control and operating leverage across the business. Similarly, EBITDA increased 61% year-on-year to EGP 2.7 billion, with the margin improving to 34.9% versus 29.7% in the previous year, while net profit after tax rose 29% year-on-year to EGP 1.3 billion. When adjusting for non-recurring items and foreign exchange effects, adjusted net profit increased 79%, with the associated margin expanding to 16.1%, highlighting the strength of our underlying operating performance and the structural improvements achieved across our cost base.
These results demonstrate the scalability of our business model and our ability to generate sustainable growth while enhancing profitability, even as we continue investing in new markets and specialised capabilities.
Building healthcare access in structurally attractive markets
At the heart of IDH's strategy is a clear conviction: the most compelling long-term healthcare opportunities lie in markets where demand is structurally expanding and access to high-quality services still has room to deepen. Across our footprint, rising prevalence of chronic and lifestyle-related diseases and expanding insurance coverage continue to underpin sustained demand for diagnostic services. Diagnostics increasingly sit at the centre of modern care pathways, acting as both a gatekeeper and an enabler of treatment decisions, which structurally supports utilisation growth over time.
Egypt remains central to this thesis. The diagnostics market is split between public and private providers, with the private segment still concentrated in major urban centres, leaving significant potential in underserved regions. Ongoing expansion of corporate health coverage and the rollout of mandatory health insurance further reinforce long-term growth prospects for private diagnostics. These structural tailwinds are supported by favourable demographics, including a large and growing population and an increasing proportion of older citizens, which together continue to drive healthcare utilisation and more frequent diagnostic testing. Within this landscape, IDH maintains a leading position, supported by its nationwide footprint, strong brand recognition, international accreditations, and long-standing market presence, all of which provide competitive insulation and procurement advantages at scale.
During 2025, the broader macroeconomic environment across parts of our footprint became more stable following a period of volatility in prior years. In Egypt, structural reforms, improved foreign exchange availability, moderating inflation, and renewed investor confidence contributed to a more predictable operating environment. In Jordan, a stable, insurance-led healthcare system continued to support consistent demand. In Nigeria, ongoing economic reforms and currency stabilisation efforts helped foster a gradual recovery in patient activity, while in Saudi Arabia, continued progress under Vision 2030 and growing private-sector participation in healthcare reinforced long-term demand for high-quality diagnostics infrastructure.
Together, these structural and macroeconomic trends provide a supportive backdrop for IDH's continued expansion and position the Group to capture sustainable growth across its markets.
Egypt: scale leadership, mix enhancement, and platform expansion
Egypt delivered another year of exceptional performance, with revenues increasing 41% to EGP 6.6 billion, supported by 10% growth in tests performed and a 28% increase in revenue per test. Growth was broad-based across both contract and walk-in segments, with contract revenues reaching EGP 4.7 billion and walk-in revenues approaching EGP 1.9 billion. The strength of both channels reflects the balance in our model between institutional relationships and direct patient engagement.
We continued to grow our footprint meaningfully, inaugurating 137 new branches during the year and ending 2025 with 724 branches in Egypt. This expansion reinforces our ability to reach patients beyond major city centres, further strengthening our competitive position and referral network density.
Alongside expansion, we continued to enhance the value of our service mix. Radiology and radiotherapy remain central to our long-term platform thesis, both as growth drivers and as natural extensions of the role diagnostics plays in care pathways. During 2025, the acquisition of Cairo Ray for Radiotherapy represented a strategic step forward in broadening our capabilities and advancing our vision of a more integrated diagnostics platform. Radiology and radiotherapy revenues reached EGP 310 million during the year, reflecting the growing importance of higher-value specialised services within our portfolio.
Our house-call service remained a core pillar of our offering, accounting for approximately 20% of Egypt's revenues, significantly above pre-pandemic levels. This channel reflects shifting patient preferences toward convenience and accessibility while reinforcing IDH's ability to deliver high-quality care beyond the clinic setting. In parallel, Wayak continued to expand, generating EGP 34 million in revenues and fulfilling approximately 260 thousand orders, contributing to our broader digital ecosystem and strengthening patient engagement across both physical and digital touchpoints.
Jordan: stability, volume-led strategy, and quality advantage
Jordan remains a stable, insurance-led healthcare market where regulated pricing creates a clear imperative: operators win through service quality and efficiency. Biolab is well positioned in this environment, supported by its internationally accredited platform, long-standing relationships with healthcare providers, and strong brand equity in Amman and surrounding areas.
In 2025, Biolab delivered 7% revenue growth in local currency to JOD 15.0 million, supported by 21% growth in tests performed and a 4% increase in patients served. In Egyptian pound terms, revenues reached EGP 1.0 billion. The strong volume performance, alongside a deliberate pricing strategy aimed at defending market share, reflects the effectiveness of promotional, digital outreach, and loyalty initiatives in supporting patient acquisition and retention. EBITDA remained stable in margin terms at 27.8%, underscoring disciplined cost management in a regulated pricing environment.
Nigeria: a high-growth frontier and a turnaround milestone
Nigeria remains one of the most attractive long-term healthcare markets in Africa: a large and youthful population, rising chronic disease burden, and a fragmented diagnostics landscape that remains underpenetrated. It is a market where scale and quality standards can unlock meaningful share gains over time.
2025 marked an operational milestone for IDH in Nigeria, where Echo-Lab delivered a full year of positive EBITDA following its turnaround. Revenue increased to NGN 3.7 billion (EGP 121 million), supported by pricing actions aligned with local inflation and a 6% increase in volumes. EBITDA reached NGN 193 million, compared with an EBITDA loss of NGN 846 million in the prior year, reflecting improved cost control, better asset utilisation, and disciplined management of working capital. While macro conditions remain complex, our focus in Nigeria is clear: continue modernising the network, expand the service portfolio, and build a scalable platform that can consolidate demand away from informal providers toward higher-quality diagnostic standards.
Saudi Arabia: early scale-up with a long runway ahead
Saudi Arabia continues to be a compelling market, underpinned by lifestyle shifts and a healthcare transformation agenda accelerating private-sector participation. The diagnostics sector remains fragmented, and the long-term runway for professionally run providers is significant.
In 2025, Biolab KSA generated SAR 5.0 million in revenues, up 252% year-on-year, equivalent to EGP 65 million. The network expanded to three branches, supporting sharp growth in patient and test volumes. While the business remains in its investment and ramp-up phase, EBITDA losses narrowed meaningfully year-on-year, reflecting improved utilisation of fixed costs and early operating leverage. Progress during the year reinforces our confidence in the market's potential and in our ability to scale in a disciplined, value-accretive manner.
Sudan: cautious engagement, safety-first, and long-term optionality
Sudan continued to face severe disruption from ongoing conflict, constraining normal operations and access to care. IDH maintained a cautious presence, with one branch partially operational and the remaining network closed indefinitely pending stabilisation. 2025 revenues were SDG 109 million (EGP 2.3 million). Our posture remains safety-first - protecting our people and patients - while maintaining the optionality to participate in recovery when conditions allow.
Investing in scale, efficiency, and long-term value
Beyond geographic expansion, we continued to strengthen the foundations of our platform. During the year, our branch network grew to 767 branches across our markets. This expansion enabled us to serve 9.4 million patients and perform 43.5 million tests, while increasing average tests per patient to 4.6, reflecting deeper patient relationships and improved monetisation.
At the same time, we advanced our digitalisation agenda and implemented targeted operational improvements to enhance efficiency and strengthen our cost base. Cost of goods sold declined to 57.3% of revenue from 61.9% in the prior year, driven by procurement optimisation and scale efficiencies. Raw materials as a percentage of revenue declined to 19.3%, while direct wages remained well controlled at 18.4% of revenue. SG&A expenses decreased to 15.0% of revenue from 16.9%, despite continued investment in growth initiatives, reflecting strong operating leverage and the tangible impact of digitalisation initiatives.
Collectively, these developments reinforce the strength of IDH's operating model, which combines scale, operational efficiency, service excellence, and disciplined capital allocation to deliver sustainable, long-term growth.
Responsible operations and sustainable value creation
As a leading diagnostics platform operating across multiple jurisdictions, we recognise that long-term value creation must be anchored in responsible governance, environmental stewardship, and measurable social impact. Sustainability at IDH is not treated as a parallel initiative, but rather as an integrated component of our operating model.
During 2025, we published our fourth TCFD-aligned disclosure, reinforcing our commitment to transparency in climate-related governance, strategy, and risk management. This year marked a meaningful step forward in the maturity of our climate reporting, most notably through the expansion of our Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas inventory. Our emissions assessment now covers 726 locations in Egypt and 37 in Jordan, reflecting full operational boundary coverage in these markets. This represents a significant broadening of data capture compared to prior reporting cycles and strengthens the integrity of our carbon accounting framework.
We continue to advance our Decarbonisation Plan, focusing on practical, operationally grounded initiatives. These include energy efficiency upgrades such as LED lighting rollouts, smart building management systems, enhanced refrigeration management with leak detection controls, progressive replacement of legacy air conditioning systems, and structured water management practices aligned with ISO standards. Sustainable mobility is another priority area, with forward-looking evaluations of alternative fleet solutions and initiatives to encourage lower-carbon commuting practices among employees.
Importantly, our approach to sustainability extends beyond emissions. We are strengthening our supply chain governance through the development of a Sustainable Procurement Policy, building on our existing Supplier Code of Conduct, which embeds minimum environmental and social standards into contractual relationships. All direct material expenditure remains subject to defined ESG obligations, and we maintain zero tolerance for unethical labour or environmental practices. Over time, this structured supplier engagement framework will allow us to expand our emissions inventory to include relevant Scope 3 categories, with reporting expected to commence in 2026.
Governance remains central to our responsible operations agenda. ESG oversight continues to sit with the Board Audit Committee, supported by the Sustainability Steering Committee at the executive level. Day-to-day coordination is managed through the Investment Relations function under direct Board oversight, ensuring that sustainability considerations remain closely linked to disclosure standards and capital market expectations.
Beyond environmental considerations, our responsible operations agenda continues to prioritise patient accessibility, data confidentiality, clinical quality, and employee wellbeing. We continue to invest in training programmes and quality assurance systems across our expanding branch network. Through structured awareness initiatives and internal innovation platforms, we are also embedding a culture of environmental responsibility and continuous improvement across the organisation.
As we scale across structurally attractive healthcare markets, responsible operations remain fundamental to how we grow. By strengthening governance and embedding sustainability into procurement and operational processes, we are reinforcing the resilience of our platform while safeguarding long-term stakeholder value.
Positioning IDH for continued long-term growth
As we look ahead, IDH is well positioned to build on the progress achieved during the year. Our expanded network, strengthened service offering, improved cost structure, and enhanced profitability profile provide a solid foundation for continued growth. With a platform that combines scale and an increasingly diversified service mix, we enter the coming period with both momentum and clarity of purpose.
At the same time, management continues to closely monitor evolving macroeconomic conditions and regional developments, including the escalation of the U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran in early 2026, which may introduce heightened uncertainty across the region, particularly in markets such as Jordan and Saudi Arabia.
In Egypt, our priority remains deepening penetration in underserved geographies while enhancing value per patient. We intend to continue rolling out new branches in targeted locations that strengthen network density and referral capture, particularly outside major urban centres. At the same time, we will further expand higher-value verticals, including radiology and radiotherapy, building on the successful integration of Cairo Ray. We also plan to continue strengthening our house-call and digital booking ecosystem, enhancing convenience and reinforcing patient loyalty. Operationally, we will focus on sustaining margin resilience through procurement optimisation, workforce productivity initiatives, and further integration of data analytics into decision-making.
In Jordan, our strategy centres on defending and expanding market share through volume-led growth and service excellence within a regulated pricing environment. We will continue investing in patient acquisition initiatives and loyalty programmes while broadening our specialised test portfolio to deepen relationships with referring physicians and institutional clients. Maintaining operational efficiency and disciplined cost control will remain critical to protecting margins in this market.
In Nigeria, the focus shifts from turnaround to structured expansion. Having delivered EBITDA positivity, our next phase involves modernising additional facilities, selectively expanding the branch footprint, and strengthening the corporate and insurance client base. We will continue aligning pricing with inflationary dynamics while driving operational efficiency and quality standards that differentiate us from smaller, informal operators. Over time, we see meaningful consolidation opportunities in this fragmented market.
Saudi Arabia remains a strategic growth engine with a long runway ahead. In the near term, our emphasis is on disciplined ramp-up and operational scale. We plan to expand the network further, with additional branch openings designed to increase market coverage in Riyadh and other high-density areas. Alongside physical expansion, we will continue investing in brand building, physician engagement, and service portfolio enhancement to accelerate patient growth. As volumes increase, our objective is to progressively narrow losses and move toward operational breakeven, supported by improved utilisation and cost absorption.
Across the Group, digitalisation remains a central pillar of our growth strategy. We are working to enhance our digital patient interface, expand data-driven cross-selling capabilities, and deploy more advanced analytics to optimise pricing and resource allocation. We will also continue advancing automation within laboratory processes to improve turnaround times and operational consistency while protecting margins.
From a capital allocation perspective, we remain disciplined. Our asset-light model enables us to pursue expansion without excessive capital intensity, while preserving flexibility for selective bolt-on acquisitions or strategic partnerships that enhance capabilities or accelerate entry into adjacent segments.
The progress achieved during 2025 reflects the strength of our strategy, the dedication of our teams, and the trust placed in us by millions of patients across our markets. With clear market-specific action plans, continued operational discipline, and a scalable platform, we are confident in our ability to sustain this momentum and deliver long-term value for our stakeholders while contributing meaningfully to the development of healthcare systems across the region.

Echo-Lab, IDH's Nigerian subsidiary, reported revenues of NGN 3,712 million in FY 2025, representing 37% year-on-year growth compared to NGN 2,716 million in FY 2024. Revenue growth was primarily driven by a 29% increase in average revenue per test in local currency terms, as Echo-Lab continued to adjust pricing in line with local inflationary trends. Test volumes increased 6% year-on-year, reflecting a gradual recovery in patient activity as consumer purchasing power stabilised over the course of the year. In Egyptian pound terms, revenues rose 47% year-on-year to EGP 121 million, supported by both operational growth and FX translation effects.
Saudi Arabia (0.8% of Group revenue in FY 2025)
Biolab KSA, IDH's newest market venture, recorded revenues of SAR 5.0 million in FY 2025, representing a 252% year-on-year increase compared to SAR 1.4 million in FY 2024. In Egyptian pound terms, revenues increased more than threefold to EGP 65 million, reflecting the continued ramp-up in operations and growing brand recognition across the Kingdom.
Growth was supported by a sharp increase in patient volumes as the network expanded, with the subsidiary ending the year operating three branches, following the inauguration of its third location in Riyadh during the year. The Saudi market remains a key long-term growth driver for IDH, underpinned by favourable demographics, rising healthcare awareness, and a highly fragmented private diagnostics sector offering significant consolidation potential. Over the coming period, IDH plans to continue expanding its footprint in the Kingdom in a disciplined and value-accretive manner.
Sudan (0.03% of Group revenue in FY 2025)
In Sudan, operations remained severely constrained by the ongoing conflict. One branch remained partially operational throughout the year, while the remaining 17 branches continued to be closed indefinitely pending stabilisation of conditions in the country.
The Group generated SDG 109 million in revenues in FY 2025, compared with SDG 85.3 million in FY 2024. In Egyptian pound terms, revenues amounted to EGP 2.3 million, versus EGP 2.6 million last year, with the year-on-year decline in EGP terms reflecting adverse FX movements rather than underlying operational performance.

Direct depreciation and amortisation amounted to EGP 523 million in FY 2025 and declined to 6.7% of revenue, from 7.7% last year, despite sustained capital deployment into new branches, laboratory upgrades, and diagnostic equipment.
Other direct costs, including hospital contracts, maintenance, utilities, transport, consulting, and licensing expenses, reached EGP 1.0 billion in FY 2025, or 13.0% of revenue down from 13.6% in FY 2024, supported by tighter cost controls and ongoing efficiency initiatives across operating units.
Gross Profit
IDH generated gross profit of EGP 3,353 million in FY 2025, representing a 54% year-on-year increase compared with FY 2024. Gross profit margin expanded to 42.7%, up from 38.1% last year, reflecting the combined impact of strong revenue growth, improved cost discipline, and increasing scale across the Group's operations.
The sustained expansion in gross margin underscores the strength and scalability of IDH's operating model, as well as its ability to translate higher volumes and an improving service mix into structurally stronger profitability, even while continuing to invest in geographic expansion and enhanced diagnostic capabilities.
Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses
IDH's SG&A expenses amounted to EGP 1,180 million in FY 2025, representing a 22% increase year-on-year compared with FY 2024. Despite the increase in absolute terms, SG&A declined as a proportion of consolidated revenue to 15.0%, down from 16.9% last year, reflecting continued operating leverage, disciplined cost management, and the scalability of the Group's platform amid strong revenue growth. The year-on-year movement in SG&A was primarily driven by the following factors:
· Indirect wages and salaries reached EGP 552 million in FY 2025, up 42% year-on-year, reflecting annual salary adjustments, selective headcount additions to support network expansion and new business lines, particularly in Saudi Arabia, as well as FX translation effects on Jordanian and Saudi payroll costs following the depreciation of the Egyptian pound.
· Advertising and marketing expenses increased 39% year-on-year to EGP 210 million, as the Group continued to invest in strengthening brand visibility in Egypt while accelerating marketing and customer acquisition efforts in Saudi Arabia in line with the expansion of the Biolab KSA network.

EBITDA
IDH reported EBITDA of EGP 2,738 million in FY 2025, representing a 61% year-on-year increase compared with EGP 1,697 million in FY 2024. The Group's EBITDA margin expanded to 34.9%, up from 29.7% last year, driven by lower COGS as a percentage of revenue, tighter SG&A management despite ongoing growth investments, and the continued benefits of digitalization and procurement efficiencies. Performance was further supported by the sustained turnaround in Nigeria, meaningful scale-up in Saudi Arabia, and the consolidation of Cairo Ray within the radiology platform.
Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes a gain on bargain purchase of EGP 40.1 million related to Cairo Ray's acquisition June 2025, stood at EGP 2,698 million, reflecting a 34.3% adjusted EBITDA margin, compared to an adjusted EBITDA of EGP 1,731 million in FY 2024 with a 30.3% margin.
EBITDA by Country
In Egypt, IDH generated EBITDA of EGP 2,494 million in FY 2025, up 58% year-on-year from EGP 1,584 million in FY 2024. EBITDA margin expanded to 37.6%, compared with 33.6% last year. The improvement reflects stronger gross profitability, improved cost absorption across a larger branch base, and continued SG&A optimisation.
In Jordan, Biolab reported EBITDA of JOD 4.1 million in FY 2025, up 7% year-on-year from JOD 3.9 million in FY 2024. In EGP terms, EBITDA recorded EGP 285 million in FY 2025, compared with roughly EGP 253 million last year. EBITDA margin in local currency terms recorded 27.8%, reflecting disciplined cost management despite promotional pricing initiatives aimed at stimulating volume growth.
In Nigeria, Echo-Lab delivered a significant turnaround, reporting EBITDA of NGN 193 million in FY 2025, compared with an EBITDA loss of NGN 846 million in FY 2024. This equates to approximately EGP 6 million, versus a loss of approximately EGP 26 million last year. EBITDA margin improved to 5.2%, compared with negative 31.1% in FY 2024. The improvement reflects continued pricing discipline, cost rationalisation, and stabilising operating conditions.
In Saudi Arabia, Biolab KSA recorded EBITDA losses of SAR 3.5 million in FY 2025, compared with SAR 9.3 million in FY 2024. This corresponds to approximately EGP 46 million in losses, versus roughly EGP 113 million last year. The substantial reduction in losses reflects strong revenue ramp-up, improved utilisation of fixed costs, and early-stage operating leverage as the branch network expands.

Interest Income / Expense
IDH recorded interest income of EGP 223 million in FY 2025, up 54% from EGP 145 million in FY 2024, reflecting the Group's higher average cash balance during the year and continued benefit from elevated deposit rates in Egypt for much of the reporting period. While the Central Bank of Egypt began easing policy rates during the year, yields remained attractive relative to historical levels, supporting strong treasury income.
Total interest expense7 increased to EGP 236 million in FY 2025, compared with EGP 197 million in FY 2024, representing a 20% year-on-year rise. The increase was primarily attributable to:
· Interest on financial obligations rising to EGP 133 million, up 18% year-on-year, largely reflecting the expansion of the branch network and the associated lease liabilities under IFRS 16.
· Interest on borrowings increasing significantly to EGP 52 million from EGP 24 million last year, mainly due to higher average debt balances following the loan drawdown related to the acquisition of Cairo Ray for Radiotherapy, as well as elevated borrowing costs during the year.
· Bank charges rising to EGP 27 million from EGP 17 million, in line with higher transaction volumes and revenue growth across the Group.
It is important to note that IDH's interest-bearing debt8 (excluding accrued interest) increased during FY 2025 to reach EGP 427 million as at 31 December 2025, from EGP 265 million at year-end 2024. The increase is due to a loan withdrawal for the acquisition of Cairo Ray.

9 Interest expenses on medium-term loans include EGP 44 million (EGP 21 million in FY 2024) related to the Group's facility with Kuwait Finance House (KFH) - formerly Ahli United Bank (AUB).
Foreign Exchange
IDH recorded a foreign exchange loss of EGP 37 million in FY 2025, compared with a foreign exchange gain of EGP 303 million in FY 2024. The foreign exchange loss relates to intercompany balances revaluation in entities where the balance was in a currency different to the functional currency.
Taxation
Tax expenses, including current and deferred tax, amounted to EGP 817 million in FY 2025, compared with EGP 431 million in FY 2024. IDH's effective tax rate increased significantly versus the same period of last year, reaching 39% in FY 2025 versus 30% last year. The increase reflects a normalisation in foreign exchange gain recorded during the period. It is important to highlight that there is no tax payable for IDH's two holding-level companies.

Net Profit
IDH recorded a net profit of EGP 1,302 million in FY 2025, representing a 29% year-on-year increase from EGP 1,008 million in FY 2024. It is worth noting that the prior year's bottom line benefited from significant foreign exchange gains, which created a high comparative base in FY 2024. The Group's net profit margin stood at 16.6% in FY 2025, compared with 17.6% last year, with the slight contraction primarily reflecting the absence of last year's exceptional FX gains and higher financing costs associated with strategic investments undertaken during the year.
When adjusting for non-recurring items in FY 2025 and foreign exchange gains in FY 2024, adjusted net profit reached EGP 1,262 million in FY 2025, up 79% year-on-year from EGP 705 million in FY 2024. The corresponding adjusted net profit margin improved significantly to 16.1%, compared with 12.3% last year, underscoring the strength of the Group's underlying operating performance, margin expansion, and improved cost structure.
Dividends
The Board of Directors has recommended that a cash dividend of USD 4.9 million (USD 0.0085 per share), should be paid to shareholders who appear on the register as of 29 May 2026, with an ex-dividend date of 28 May 2026. The payment date for the dividend will be 22 June 2026. Proposed dividends for ordinary shares are subject to the approval of the Annual General Meeting (AGM) and are not recognised as a liability as of 31 December 2025.
ii. Balance Sheet Analysis
|
Assets Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) IDH recorded PPE cost of EGP 3,900 million as at 31 December 2025, up from the EGP 3,111 million as at year-end 2024. The increase primarily reflects the addition of new branches across key markets, continued investments in laboratory and radiology equipment, the renovation and upgrade of existing locations to enhance service quality and operational capacity, and the acquisition of Cairo Ray.
Total CAPEX Addition Breakdown - FY 2025
Trade Receivables and Provisions Net trade receivables stood at EGP 996 million as at 31 December 2025, compared with EGP 804 million at year-end 2024. Despite the increase in absolute receivables in line with revenue growth, Days on Hand (DOH) improved to 122 days, compared with 140 days at the end of 2024, reflecting enhanced collections discipline and continued focus on working capital optimisation.
Meanwhile, provision charges for doubtful accounts in FY 2025 stood at EGP 45 million, down from EGP 48 million in FY 2024.
Inventory As at 31 December 2025, IDH's inventory balance stood at EGP 424 million, compared with EGP 318 million at year-end 2024. Meanwhile, Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO) improved to 94 days, versus 105 days at 31 December 2024. The improvement reflects stronger sales momentum during the year, improved procurement planning, and enhanced inventory turnover management across the Group's expanding branch network.
Cash and Net Debt Cash balances and financial assets at amortised cost reached EGP 2,090 million as at 31 December 2025, compared with EGP 1,716 million at year-end 2024, reflecting strong operating cash generation during the year.
IDH's net cash10 balance recorded EGP 472 million as at 31 December 2025, compared to a net cash of EGP 226 million as at year-end 2024.
Note: Interest Bearing Debt includes accrued interest for each period. *If excluding Lease Liabilities Property (IFRS 16), IDH would have recorded net cash of EGP 1,478 million. **Includes accrued finance cost.
10 The net cash/(debt) balance is calculated as cash and cash equivalent balances including financial assets at amortised cost, less interest-bearing debt (medium term loans), finance lease and right-of-use liabilities. 11 It is worth noting that some term deposits and treasury bills cannot be accessed for over three months and are therefore not treated as cash. Term deposits which cannot be accessed for over three months stood at EGP 336 million at 31 December 2025 (2024: EGP 468 million). Meanwhile, treasury bills not accessible for over three months stood at EGP 83 million (2024: EGP 60 million).
Lease liabilities and financial obligations on property recorded EGP 1,006 million at 31 December 2025, up from EGP 943 million recorded at year-end 2024. Meanwhile, financial obligations related to equipment recorded at EGP 180 million as at 31 December 2025, down from EGP 264 million at year-end 2024 reflecting the addition of no new contracts in 2025. Finally, interest bearing debt12 (excluding accrued interest) reached EGP 427 million at 31 December 2025, up from EGP 265 million at year-end 2024.
Liabilities Trade Payable13 As at 31 December 2025, IDH's trade payables stood at EGP 563 million, up from EGP 320 million at year-end 2024. Meanwhile, Days Payable Outstanding (DPO) recorded 112 days, compared with 90 days at 31 December 2024.
Put Option The put option current liability stood at EGP 629 million as at 31 December 2025, up versus the EGP 532 million at 31 December 2024, and is related to both: · The option granted in 2011 to Dr. Amid, Biolab's CEO, to sell his stake (40%) to IDH. The put option is in the money and exercisable since 2016 and is calculated as seven times Biolab's LTM EBITDA minus net debt. · The option granted in 2018 to the International Finance Corporation from Dynasty - shareholders in Echo Lab - and it is exercisable in 2024. The put option is calculated based on fair market value (FMV). It is important to note that the put option previously included as part of the agreement between IDH, Biolab and Izhoor in Saudi Arabia has been removed following IDH's acquisition of Izhoor's entire 49% stake in Biolab KSA, which was concluded in December 2024. Biolab KSA is now owned 79% by IDH and 21% by its Jordanian subsidiary Biolab.
12 IDH's interest-bearing debt as at 31 December 2025 included EGP 403 million to its facility with Kuwait Finance House (KFH) - formerly Ahli United Bank (AUB) (outstanding loan balances are excluding accrued interest for the period). 13 Accounts payable is calculated based on average payables at the end of each period.

iii. Principal Risks, Uncertainties & their Mitigation
As with all corporations, IDH is exposed to several risks and uncertainties which may have adverse impacts on the Company's performance. IDH's Chairman, Lord St John of Bletso, systematically stresses the importance of the risk matrix as a key driver of the Group's long-term success, and one which must be equally shared by the Board of Directors and senior management.
While no system is capable of mitigating every risk, and while some risks, at the country level, are largely without potential mitigants, the Group has developed complex processes, procedures, and baseline assumptions which provide effective mitigation. The Board and senior management agree that the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group include:
|
Specific Risk |
Mitigation |
|
Country/regional risk - Economic and Forex Egypt: IDH is directly impacted by the economic conditions of its largest market, Egypt, and, to a lesser extent, those of its other operating geographies. Egypt accounted for 84.6% of consolidated revenues in 2025 (82.5% in 2024) and 91% of adjusted EBITDA (93% in 2024).
Starting in early 2022, IDH's home and largest market has been directly impacted by the Russian-Ukraine war due to Egypt's reliance on wheat imports and tourism inflows from both countries, as well as its broader exposure to capital outflows during periods of global and regional economic uncertainty. These pressures were further exacerbated by the global tightening of monetary policy during 2022-2024, which led to reduced foreign capital inflows across emerging markets. Meanwhile, since late 2023, Egypt has also been affected by the ongoing conflict in Gaza and wider regional tensions, which have periodically weighed on tourism activity, investor sentiment, and Suez Canal traffic-an important source of foreign currency for the country. Disruptions to Israeli natural gas supply during periods of escalation also contributed to intermittent energy supply constraints, although the government has taken steps to mitigate these risks through diversified energy sourcing and infrastructure investments.
Despite these external pressures, Egypt's macroeconomic environment began to stabilise significantly following the landmark economic reforms implemented in early 2024. These included the transition to a flexible exchange rate regime in March 2024 and a substantial tightening of monetary policy to address inflation and restore confidence in the financial system. In parallel, Egypt secured significant external support, including investment commitments from Abu Dhabi's ADQ, expanded financing arrangements with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and additional funding from international and regional partners including the European Union. These measures helped restore foreign currency liquidity, eliminate the parallel foreign exchange market, and encourage the return of foreign investment and remittance flows through formal channels. As a result, throughout 2025, the Egyptian Pound has demonstrated relative stability compared to the volatility experienced in prior periods.
Inflationary pressures, which peaked in early 2024 amid currency adjustments and subsidy reforms, began to moderate during 2025 as the effects of monetary tightening and improved foreign exchange availability took hold. While inflation remains above the Central Bank of Egypt's long-term targets, it has been on a declining trajectory, allowing the Central Bank to gradually begin easing monetary policy during 2025 following the aggressive tightening cycle of the preceding two years. Nonetheless, inflation and interest rates remain elevated relative to historical norms, reflecting the lagged impact of structural reforms and global economic uncertainty.
Egypt's political environment remained stable during 2025 following the presidential elections held in December 2023, which saw President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi secure a new six-year mandate. The government has continued to advance its structural reform agenda, including fiscal consolidation, privatisation initiatives, and policies aimed at increasing private sector participation in economic activity. These reforms are intended to strengthen macroeconomic resilience, improve fiscal sustainability, and support long-term economic growth.
While external risks-including geopolitical tensions, global financial conditions, and commodity price volatility-continue to present potential challenges, Egypt's economic outlook has improved materially compared to prior years. The country's strengthened foreign exchange position, improved investor confidence, and ongoing reform programme have contributed to greater macroeconomic stability. IDH continues to closely monitor developments in Egypt and has demonstrated resilience through prior economic cycles, supported by the essential nature of its services, diversified customer base, and flexible operating model.
Foreign currency risk: IDH is exposed to foreign currency risk, placing potential pressure on the cost side of the business. Despite the majority of the Company's suppliers receiving payments in EGP, due to the fact that materials are imported, prices vary based on the exchange rate between EGP and foreign currencies. Moreover, a small portion of suppliers are priced in foreign currency and paid in EGP based on the prevalent exchange rate at the time of purchase. It is important to note that starting in spring 2024, FX availability for importers significantly improved with priority sectors able to access the needed capital to fulfil obligations and resume normal business operations.
Nigeria: macroeconomic environment remained characterized by elevated currency and inflation volatility following the liberalization of the Nigerian Naira in 2023. The currency remained under pressure through 2025, with the Naira trading at approximately NGN 1,443 per US Dollar on average in late 2025 and fluctuating within a range of approximately NGN 1,450-1,600 per US Dollar during the year, reflecting ongoing foreign exchange constraints and structural adjustments in the economy. While volatility persisted, exchange rate movements began to stabilize relative to the sharp depreciation experienced in prior periods, supported by ongoing monetary and fiscal reforms.
As a result of the devaluation and foreign currency shortages, Nigerian inflation has maintained an upward trend, with inflation rates averaging 21-22% throughout 2025 (33.2% in 2024).
|
Overall, management reiterates that IDH employs a robust and resilient business model which has helped the Company navigate several economic and political downturns, including two revolutions, while allowing the business to expand its offering and record positive growth across key operational and financial performance indicators. Moreover, as part of IDH's long-term growth strategy, the Company is working to diversify its geographic exposure by decreasing its exposure to any single country. To this end in January 2024, the Company launched its Saudi Arabian venture under the name Biolab KSA. Once fully ramped up, the venture will offer a full suite of diagnostic testing services.
IDH has maintained an active approach in shielding the business from exchange rate fluctuations in its markets. As part of its mitigation efforts, IDH negotiates contracts with tenures ranging from 5 to 7 years (at fixed FX rates, which only get revised once the currency surpasses an agreed upon value) and purchases laboratory test kits on contract with volume-linked prices. Meanwhile, thanks to its large scale and longstanding supplier relationships, the Company is able to secure favourable test kit prices with all its major suppliers. Additionally, the Company takes proactive steps to hedge against foreign currency risks on a case-by-case basis whenever applicable.
Meanwhile, the Group's asset-light model allows for minimal borrowing and significant strategic flexibility, providing it with ample leeway to navigate challenging times while supporting its expansion plans even in high-interest rate environments.
During 2025, almost none of the Company's cost of supplies were payable in US Dollars apart from one supplier, minimizing exposure to foreign currency risk. Furthermore, the Company's proactive inventory and supplier management strategy has seen it able to contain the impacts of a weaker EGP and rising inflation on its raw material expenses with its raw material to sales ratio improving year-on-year in 2025 at 19.3% (versus 22.0% in 2024 and 22.2% in 2023). The Company will continue to capitalise on its established reputation and position as a leading diagnostic services provider in the region to negotiate favourable prices and mitigate the impact of foreign currency fluctuations whenever possible.
It is important to highlight that starting January 2024, IDH has renegotiated the terms of its contracts with its major suppliers to pay for its supplies in EGP. Some contracts with major suppliers, however, are fixed at USD prices, with payments made in EGP at the official exchange rate at the time of payment. As such, there have been no USD payments for supplies since the beginning of 2024.
In response to the high inflationary pressures in Nigeria, management is methodically implementing cost optimization strategies, while implementing price increases across its service portfolio. In 2025, average revenue per test in Nigeria rose 31% year-on-year in local currency terms, signalling the effectiveness of management's pricing strategies.
It is worth noting that Nigerian operations are naturally shielded from foreign currency risk and inflation, due to IDH's asset base in the country which can be sold in US Dollars.

Country/regional risk - Political & Security Sudan: Sudan's economic progress continues to be affected by economic and political turmoil, starting with the secession of South Sudan in 2011 and the associated loss of the majority of the country's oil production. This unrest continued throughout the remainder of the decade, eventually culminating in the removal of the country's president, President Al-Bashir, in 2019 via a military coup. Despite a significant easing of tensions in 2022, a violent conflict erupted in April 2023 between two rival groups; the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The conflict is currently ongoing resulting in widespread humanitarian, economic, and infrastructure disruption across the country. Millions of people have been displaced, and economic activity remains severely constrained, with ongoing interruptions to healthcare services, logistics, banking operations, and power infrastructure. The security situation remains highly volatile, with no clear timeline for a full resolution of hostilities or stabilisation of the operating environment.
As a result of the ongoing conflict, nearly all of IDH's branches in Sudan remain closed indefinitely. As at year-end 2025, only one branch remains partially operational, operating on a limited basis depending on local security and infrastructure conditions.
Nigeria: the country faces security challenges on several fronts, including re-emerging ethnic tensions and resurgent attacks by Islamist militants in the northeast. Political instability is further magnified by economic pressures, which remained volatile over the past two years, primarily driven by major structural reforms implemented by the Nigerian government. These have included the removal of fuel subsidies and the liberalisation of the exchange rate regime, which resulted in significant depreciation of the Nigerian Naira, elevated inflation, and higher operating and transportation costs across the economy. Inflation remained elevated throughout 2024 and 2025, continuing to weigh on household purchasing power and business costs. |
It is worth highlighting that in 2025 Sudan only constituted 0.03% of consolidated revenues. With regards to the ongoing conflict, management continues to actively monitor the evolving situation on the ground, taking all necessary measures to safeguard its operations and guarantee the health and safety of its personnel and patients. This included the temporary suspension of all commercial activities at the start of the conflict at 17 of its 18 branches. IDH is also taking steps to keep its stakeholders updated on the developing situation.
In 2025 Nigeria comprised just 1.5% of IDH's consolidated revenues. Additionally, while security and political challenges do impact operations in the country, IDH's industry continued to be largely inelastic by nature, with patient and test volumes remaining relatively resilient throughout economic cycles. This is particularly apparent given the consistent growth in operational KPIs, with test and patient volumes recording a compound annual growth rate of 5.3% and 0.8%, respectively, between 2019 and 2025. It is important to mention, however, that Echo-Lab delivered a significant turnaround, reporting EBITDA of NGN 193 million in 2025, compared with an EBITDA loss of NGN 846 million in 2024. This equates to approximately EGP 6 million, versus a loss of approximately EGP 26 million last year.
While these political challenges are particularly difficult to mitigate, IDH continued to take all necessary steps to safeguard its employees and operations. The Group employs rigorous standards to evaluate the country's political climate, ensuring it is well-equipped to deal with any developments as they unfold. |

Middle East Conflicts The latest escalation of the long-lasting Israeli Palestinian conflict erupted on 7 October 2023 following an attack by Gaza-based group, Hamas. Israel responded by launching a retaliation campaign on Gaza, enacting a 15-month-long total siege on the territory. As of February 2026, the conflict is conflict is estimated to have resulted in the death of over 75,000 people and the injury of an additional 171,000. In October 2025, Israel and Hamas reached a ceasefire and hostage-release agreement, bringing about a temporary reduction in hostilities. However, the truce has remained fragile, with periodic flare-ups and ongoing uncertainty around longer-term political and security arrangements.
More recently, in early 2026, regional conflict has broadened to include a direct escalation involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, marking a significant intensification of regional tensions. This development has increased the risk of wider geopolitical disruption across the Middle East, with potential implications for energy markets, trade routes, and overall regional stability.
With the Gaza Strip bordering IDH's home and largest market, Egypt, and with several other of the Company's geographies situated within the region, namely Jordan and Saudi Arabia, the evolving conflict environment creates the potential for heightened economic and political headwinds. These developments may affect tourism flows in neighbouring countries, weigh on investor sentiment, and contribute to increased volatility in capital flows.
For Egypt specifically, the conflict has contributed to regional insecurity and, at points, to disruptions in energy and trade dynamics. Moreover, due to ongoing attacks on shipping lanes in and around the Red Sea, a number of shipping companies have diverted vessels away from the Suez Canal route, creating pressure on canal-related foreign currency inflows. Meanwhile, broader regional escalation - including disruption to the Strait of Hormuz and reported targeting of energy infrastructure in Saudi Arabia and GCC countries - has heightened volatility in regional energy markets, with potential spillover effects on energy supply, pricing, and fiscal dynamics across the region.
|
While this specific conflict has no direct mitigations from the Company's side, IDH continues to actively monitor the situation, placing an emphasis on remaining updated on the impacts of the war on IDH's markets of operation and the subsequent repercussions on IDH's business.
However, it is worth noting that IDH's business is inherently resilient to macroeconomic and political difficulties, due to its inelastic nature of healthcare and diagnostics demand. While the Company does not expect any major direct impact from this war on its operations, it will continue monitoring events and update the market, as necessary. |
|
Global Supply Chain Disruptions While global supply chain disruptions that negatively impacted businesses and consumers during the post-Covid-19 recovery have largely moderated, they continue to operate below optimal efficiency levels and remain vulnerable to geopolitical and trade-related shocks. Throughout 2025, key challenges affecting global supply chains included ongoing missile attacks on commercial shipping routes in the Red Sea, continued logistical bottlenecks in critical shipping corridors, and renewed trade protectionism, particularly following the reintroduction and expansion of tariff measures by the United States on a broad range of imported goods. These tariffs, targeting key manufacturing inputs and equipment from major trading partners, have contributed to increased costs, supply re-routing, and heightened uncertainty across global procurement and manufacturing networks.
|
IDH's management team continually monitors the evolving situation and have taken proactive steps to build up its inventory to shield the Group from any potential future disruptions. IDH is in continual dialogue with key suppliers to gauge the risk associated with a shortage of materials and is yet to identify a weakness. Throughout 2025, thanks to IDH's proactive inventory build-up and sourcing strategy, the Group continued to face no problems acquiring raw materials. |
|
Supplier Risk IDH faces the risk of suppliers re-opening price negotiations in the face of increased inflationary pressures and/or a possible, albeit limited, devaluation risk.
IDH's supplier risk is concentrated amongst its three largest suppliers - Siemens, Roche, and Sysmex - who provide the Company with kits constituting 50% of the total value of raw materials in 2025 (48% in 2024). |
IDH boasts strong, longstanding relationships with its key suppliers, to whom IDH remains a large regional client. Due to the sheer volume of kits the Group purchases on a regular basis, the Company is able to successfully secure favourable pricing conditions and mitigate the impacts of inflationary pressures to maintain relatively stable raw material costs as a percentage of revenues.
Total raw material costs as a percentage of sales stood at 19.3% in 2025, compared to 22.0% in 2024 and 22.2% in 2023. |
|
Remittance of dividend regulations and repatriation of profit risk The Group's ability to remit dividends abroad may be adversely affected by changes in foreign exchange regulations, capital controls, or taxation frameworks in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Under Egyptian law, companies seeking to transfer dividends overseas are required to obtain the necessary regulatory clearances and comply with applicable withholding tax requirements. While Egypt experienced periods of foreign currency shortages and administrative constraints in 2022 and 2023, conditions improved materially during 2024 and 2025, supported by enhanced foreign exchange liquidity and macroeconomic stabilisation measures.
Nevertheless, the potential re-emergence of foreign exchange volatility, regulatory amendments, or administrative delays could affect the timing or efficiency of dividend repatriation in the future.
|
During 2025, IDH successfully resumed dividend distributions following a period of hiatus between 2023 and 2024, reflecting improved foreign exchange availability. The Group did not encounter material obstacles in obtaining the necessary approvals or executing dividend repatriation.
The Board will continue to periodically review dividend decisions in light of prevailing market conditions, foreign exchange dynamics, and the Group's strategic investment priorities to safeguard both shareholder returns and long-term financial resilience. |
|
Legal and regulatory risk to the business The Group's business is subject to, and thus affected by, extensive, rigid, and constantly evolving laws and regulations, in addition to changing enforcement regimes in each of its operating geographies. Further, the Group's position as a major player in the Egyptian private clinical laboratory market subjects IDH to antitrust and competition-related restrictions, as well as the chance of investigation by the Egyptian Competition Authority. |
The Group's legal and the quality assurance teams work together to keep IDH fully informed, and in compliance with, both legislative and regulatory updates.
On the antitrust front, the private laboratory segment (of which IDH is part) accounts for only a small proportion of the total market, which consists of small private labs, private chain labs, and large governmental and quasi-governmental institutions.
|
|
Pricing pressure in a competitive, regulated environment The Group may face pricing pressures from several third-party payers, including national health insurance, syndicates, other governmental bodies, which are potentially capable of adversely impacting Group revenue. Pricing may also be restricted in cases by recommended or mandatory fees set by government ministries and other authorities.
The risk may be more apparent in cases of increased inflationary pressures, particularly following the devaluation of the Egyptian Pound and its subsequent effects.
The Group may also face pricing pressure from existing competitors and new market entrants. |
This is an external risk for which few mitigants exist.
In the case of price competition escalation between market players, the Group relies on its wide national footprint as a mitigant. More specifically, IDH is able to leverage its nationwide network to attract contract clients to the Group (67% of the Company's revenues in 2025 were generated through its contract segment), who prefer IDH's national reach and established position over patchworks of local players.
IDH enjoys limited ability to influence changes to mandatory pricing policies set forth by government agencies, as with those in Jordan, where basis tests account for the majority of IDH's business in that nation are subject to price controls. Instead, IDH's operations in Jordan are focused on driving volume growth as a catalyst for expanding revenues.
IDH banks on its strong brand equity in its markets of operation to enjoy a solid positioning. As such, IDH is a price maker, especially in Egypt where the Group currently controls the largest network of branches amongst all private sector players. Moreover, the Group faces no potential risk of governmental price regulations in its home and largest market, Egypt, which made up 84.6% of revenues in 2025. |
|
Cybersecurity risks IDH controls a vast and growing database of confidential data for its patient records; to this end, there is a cybersecurity risk for both data confidentiality and security. |
The Company places top priority on its data security, regularly conducting stress tests of its IT infrastructure to confirm the effectiveness of its internal controls. Additionally, its cybersecurity controls and protocols are regularly updated to address potential shortcomings and remain up-to-date and in full adherence with data security regulations in its markets. In response to a cybersecurity incident in 2023, IDH took immediate steps to assess and contain the incident, launch an incident response plan, and engage specialist support services. While the incident did not involve patient data nor directly impact IDH's operations, all appropriate regulatory authorities were informed of the incident, and the Company continues to conduct regular tests of its systems to ensure their security, prioritising the security of its patients' data. It is important to note that no cybersecurity incidents occurred during 2025.
|
|
Business continuity risks Management concentration risk: IDH is dependent on a highly experienced management team boasting decades of experience in their respective fields. The loss of key members of IDH's team could materially affect the Company's operations and business.
Business interruption: Virtually all aspects of the Group's business use IT systems extensively. This includes test and exam results reporting, billing, customer service, logistics, and management of medical data. Similarly, business interruption at one of the Group's larger facilities could result in significant material losses and reputational damage to IDH's business. This could be a result of natural disasters, fire, riots, or extended power failures. The Group, therefore, depends on the continued and uninterrupted performance of its systems. |
IDH comprehends the importance of strengthening its human capital to support its future growth plans. The Company is therefore committed to expanding its senior management team, under the experienced leadership of its CEO, Dr. Hend El Sherbini, to add and maintain the talent needed for the expansion of its footprint. In January 2024, the Group welcomed on board Sherif El Zeiny as Board Member, Vice President and Group Chief Financial Officer. The Group has constituted an Executive Committee, led by Dr. El Sherbini, and composed of head of departments. The Executive Committee meets every second week.
The Group has in place a full disaster recovery plan, with procedures and provisions for spares, redundant power systems, and the use of mobile data systems as alternatives to landlines, among multiple other factors. To ensure its readiness, IDH performs disaster recovery plan tests on a regular basis, with updates as well as internal and external audits.
In Egypt and Jordan, to mitigate the impact of potential branch closures on operations, the Group has been ramping up its house call services which in 2025 contributed to c.20% of total revenue versus a pre-pandemic average of 9%. Moreover, the Group's important role in conducting key testing in both Egypt and Jordan makes it unlikely that branches would be closed even if new restrictive measures were introduced. |

3. Business combinations
3.1. Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2025. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
i. Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity where 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 to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the consolidated statement of income statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of financial position respectively.
ii. Changes in ownership interests
The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of the Group.
When the Group ceases to consolidate or equity account for an investment because of a loss of control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. This fair value becomes the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
If the ownership interest in a joint venture or an associate is reduced but joint control or significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for all business combinations, regardless of whether equity instruments or other assets are acquired. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary comprises the:
• 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.
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. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquired entity on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the acquired entity's net identifiable assets.
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 business acquired, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss as a bargain purchase.
Where settlement of any part of cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in the future are discounted to their present value as at 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 recognised in 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 acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date. Any gains or losses arising from such remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss.
On 19 June 2025 the Group acquired the assets related to Radiotherapy branch through its subsidiary Al Borg Laboratory Company for total consideration of EGP 400 million. This has been treated as a business combination under IFRS 3 since the assets acquired and agreement in place which transferred employees and customer lists are considered to constitute a business. The assets acquired and the key inputs calculate the value these assets has been included below.
The acquisition has been completed with total consideration with EGP 400 million and a purchase price allocation study at the date of the acquisition concluded total identified assets with EGP 440,120 thousand, and that resulted 40,120 thousand as a bargain gain from the acquisition. The PPA performed by the company's expert Prime Capital has identified fair value for acquired assets as follows:
|
|
|
EGP'000 |
|
Building* |
|
243,404 |
|
Equipment** |
|
186,516 |
|
Auxiliary assets |
|
10,200 |
|
Total fair value for the identified asset |
|
440,120 |
|
Total consideration |
|
400,000 |
|
Bargain gain from the acquisition*** |
|
40,120 |
* The market value of the building was assessed with the comparable method in accordance with the following considerations: the advantages of the location and plot size, the quality of internal finishes, the medical nature of the facility, and a market survey of comparable units.
** The market value of the Equipment was assessed by obtaining a purchase quotation from the manufacturer of the Equipment and adjusting it with the technical depreciation rate and technical usability rate.
*** Bargain gain resulted from the acquisition recorded within the net other income at the income statement
The recognized bargain purchase gain resulted from acquiring the building at an amount below its fair value. Because The property had already been fully fitted out to meet the operational requirements of radiation therapy services and to accommodate the specialized equipment installed within it. Consequently, the former owner's ability to sell the asset was limited to buyers operating in the same line of business., the Company also engaged in extensive negotiations to secure the acquisition at the lowest possible price. These factors collectively led to the purchase consideration being lower than the fair value of the acquired net assets, resulting in the recognition of a bargain purchase gain.
From the acquisition date until the end of the reporting period, the branch generated revenues of EGP 28,215 thousand and a net profit of EGP 358 thousand. Had the acquisition been completed at the beginning of the financial year, Radiotherapy branch would have contributed approximately EGP 51,997 thousand in revenues and EGP 1,177 thousand in net profit for the year."
The new carrying amount of fixed assets resulting from the purchase price allocation created a temporary difference between the net book value of the assets recognized under IFRS 3 and their tax base as determined by the Egyptian Tax Authority (ETA), which recognize fixed assets based on their transaction cost. Consequently, a deferred tax liability has been recorded on the temporary difference, amounting to EGP 9,027 thousand.
4. Basis of preparation
Statement of compliance
Integrated Diagnostics Holdings plc "IDH" or "the company" has been established according to the provisions of the Companies (Jersey) law 1991 under No. 117257. The Company is listed entity on London stock exchange and was delisted from the Egyptian stock exchange in September 2024. The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991.
Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except where adopted IFRS mandates that fair value accounting is required which is related to financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value.
New standards and interpretations Adopted
The Group has applied the following amendments for the first time for their annual reporting period commencing 1 January 2025:
· IAS 21 - Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency
The amendment listed above did not have any impact on current and prior years and not expected to affect future years.
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
The Group is currently assessing the likely impact of IFRS 18 -"Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Standards". It is due for adoption for the year end 31 December 2027 and has not been early adopted. It is expected that this will have a material impact on the financial statements and disclosure of items within the income statement in particular. Further disclosure in relation to this shall be provided next year. There are no other new standards that are not yet adopted that the Group has identified that are expected to have a material impact.
Going concern
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. On 31 December 2025, the Group had cash and cash equivalent balance plus treasury bills / deposits minus borrowing amounting to KEGP 1,662,459. The Directors have considered a number of downside scenarios, including the most severe but plausible scenario, for a period of 16 months from the signing of the financial statements. We have conducted multiple sensitivity analysis to assess the impact of inflationary pressures and potential currency evaluation for the next 16 months. We did not consider the Biolab put option since it is not plausible that the option will be exercised refer to (note 24). We assume that dividends are expected to be paid during the period for which going concern is being assessed or those in respect of merger and acquisition 'M&A' activity. Under all of these scenarios, there remains significant headroom from a liquidity and covenant perspective. Therefore, the Directors believe the Group has the ability to meet its liabilities as they fall due throughout the going concern period and the use of the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements is appropriate.
Material accounting policy information and other explanatory information
The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all the years presented in these consolidated financial statements.
a) Impairment of non-financial assets
Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an
impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
b) Fair value measurement
The Group measures financial instruments such as non-derivative financial instruments and contingent consideration assumed in a business combination at fair value at each balance sheet date.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses observable market data as far as possible. Fair value is categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
Ø Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Ø Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.
Ø Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy, as explained above.
The fair value less any estimated credit adjustments for financial assets and liabilities with maturity dates less than one year is assumed to approximate their carrying value. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contracted cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar transactions.
c) Revenue recognition:
Revenue represents the value of medical diagnostic services rendered in the year and is stated net of discounts. The Group has two types of customers: Walk-in patients who make payments upon completion of the service and patients served under contracts who are invoiced and subject to standard credit terms. For patients under contracts, rates are agreed in advance on a per-test, client-by-client basis based on the pricelists agreed within these contracts.
The following steps are considered for all types of patients:
1. Identification of the Contracts: written contracts are agreed between IDH and customers. The contracts stipulate the duration, price per test and credit period.
2. Determining performance obligations are the diagnostics tests within the pathology, radiology services and Radiotherapy. The performance obligation is achieved when the customer receives their test results, and so are recognised at point in time.
3. Transaction price: Services provided by the Group are distinct in the contract, as the contract stipulates the series of tests' names/types to be conducted along with its distinct prices.
4. Allocation of price to performance obligations: Stand-alone selling price per test is stipulated in the contract. In case of discounts, it is allocated proportionally to all of tests prices in the contract.
5. Revenue is being recorded after the satisfaction of the above mentioned conditions.
The Group considers whether it is the principal or the agent in each of its contractual arrangements. In line with IFRS 15 "Revenue from contracts" in assessing the appropriate treatment of each contract, factors that are considered include which party is controlling the service being performed for the customer and bears the inventory risk. Where the Group is largely controlling the service and bearing the inventory risk it is deemed to be the principal and the full consideration received from the customer is recognised as revenue, with any amounts paid to third parties treated as cost of sales.
Customer loyalty program:
The Group operates a loyalty program where customers accumulate points for purchases made which entitle them to a discount on future purchases. The points are valid for 12 months from the time they are awarded. The value of points to be provided is based on the expectation of what level will be redeemed in the future before their expiration date. This amount is netted against revenue earned and included as a contract liability and only recognised as revenue when the points are then redeemed or have expired.
d) Income Taxes
Tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.
i. Current tax
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
ii. Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements.
However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill; deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, the carry forward of unused tax credits and any unused tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by 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.
e) Foreign currency translation
i) Functional and presentation currency
Each of the Group's entities is using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The Group's consolidated financial statements are presented in Egyptian Pounds, being the reporting currency of the main Egyptian trading subsidiaries within the Group and the primary economic environment in which the Group operates.
ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions, and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates, are generally recognised in profit or loss. They are deferred in equity if they relate to qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the statement of profit or loss, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of profit or loss on a net basis within other gains/(losses).
Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined. Translation differences on assets and liabilities carried at fair value are reported as part of the fair value gain or loss. For example, translation differences on non-monetary assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss, and translation differences on non-monetary assets such as equities classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised in other comprehensive income.
f) Hyperinflationary Economies
The financial statements of "SAMA Medical Laboratories Co. and AL-Mokhtabar Sudanese Egyptian Co." report their financial statements in the currency of a hyperinflationary economy. In accordance with IAS 29 financial reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies, the financial statements of those subsidiaries were restated by applying the consumer price index at closing rates in December 2025 Nil (2024 December Nil) before they were included in the consolidated financial statements.
g) Property, plant and equipment
All property and equipment are stated at historical cost or fair value at acquisition, less accumulated depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised 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 derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the consolidated statement of income during the financial period in which they are incurred. Land is not depreciated.
Depreciation expense is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost or to their residual value over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Buildings 50 years
Medical, electric and information systems equipment 4-10 years
Leasehold improvements 4-5 years
Fixtures, fittings & vehicles 4-16 years
The assets useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised within 'Other (expenses)/income - net' in the consolidated statement of income.
h) Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.
Internally generated intangibles, excluding capitalised development costs, are not capitalised and the related expenditure is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the expenditure is incurred.
The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortisation expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognised in the statement of income in the expense category that is consistent with the function of the intangible assets. The Group amortises intangible assets with finite lives using the straight-line method over the following periods:
- IT development and software 4-5 years
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.
Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries and represents the excess of the consideration transferred over interest in net fair value of the net identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree and the fair value of the non-controlling interest in the acquire.
Goodwill is stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash-generating units (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. The impairment assessment is done on an annual basis.
Brand
Brand names acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date and have an indefinite useful life.
The Group brand names are considered to have indefinite useful life as the Egyptian brands have been established in the market for more than 40 years and the health care industry is very stable and continues to grow.
The brands are not expected to become obsolete and can expand into different countries and adjacent businesses, in addition, there is a sufficient ongoing marketing efforts to support the brands and this level of marketing effort is economically reasonable and maintainable for the foreseeable future.
I) Financial instruments - initial recognition and subsequent measurement
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
i. financial assets
Classification
The Group reclassifies debt investments when and only when its business model for managing those assets changes.
The Group classifies its investments in debt Instruments in the following measurement categories:
• those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI or through income statement), and
• those to be measured at amortised cost.
The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
For investments in equity instrument measured at fair value, gains and losses will either be recorded in income statement or OCI.
For investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading, this will depend on whether the Group has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to account for the equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
Recognition and derecognition
According to the standard, purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade date, being the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Measurement
At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value, through profit or loss (FVPL) transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.
Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining whether their cash flows are solely payment of principal and interest.
Debt instruments
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group's business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the Group classifies its debt instruments:
• Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at amortised cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses) together with foreign exchange gains and losses. Impairment losses are presented as a separate line item in the consolidated income statement.
• FVOCI: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets' cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI, except for the recognition of impairment losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses, which are recognised in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other gains/(losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other gains/(losses), and impairment expenses are presented as separate line item in the consolidated income statement.
• FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognised in profit or loss and presented net within other gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises. Management has assessed the underlying nature of the investments and designated upon investment that this should be treated as an investment held at fair value with movements going through the income statement on the basis of the size of the investment and the reasons for making the investment.
Equity instruments
The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Group's management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Group's right to receive payments is established.
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVPL are recognised in other gains/(losses) in the statement of income as applicable. Impairment losses (and reversal of impairment losses) on equity investments measured at FVOCI are not reported separately from other changes in fair value.
Impairment
The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments carried at amortised cost and FVOCI. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk. For trade receivables, the Group applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognised from initial recognition of the receivables.
Further disclosures relating to impairment of financial assets are also provided in the following notes:
Ø Disclosures for significant estimates and assumptions Note 5.2
Ø Financial assets Note 6
Ø Trade receivables Note 17
The Group uses an allowance matrix to measure the ECLs of trade receivables from individual customers, which comprise a very large number of small balances.
Loss rates are calculated using a 'roll rate' method based on the probability of a receivable progressing through successive stages of delinquency to write-off. Roll rates are calculated separately for exposures in different segments based on credit risk characteristics, age of customer relationship.
Loss rates are based on actual credit loss experience over the past three years. These rates are multiplied by scalar factors to reflect differences between economic conditions during the period over which the historical data has been collected, current conditions and the Group's view of economic conditions over the expected lives of the receivables.
ii. Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified at FVTPL if it is classified as held for trading, financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses including any interest expenses are recognised in profit or loss.
Put options included in put option liabilities are carried at the present value of the redemption amount in accordance with IAS 32 in regard to the guidance on put option on an entity's own equity shares. The Group has written put options over the equity of its (Bio Lab, Echo-Scan and Medical Health Development) subsidiaries. The option on exercise is initially recognised at the present value of the redemption amount with a corresponding charge directly to equity. The charge to equity is recognised separately within the put option reserve and this is in line with paragraph 23 of IFRS 10.
All of the Group's financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The Group does not use derivative financial instruments or hedge account for any transactions. Unless otherwise indicated, the carrying amounts of the Group's financial liabilities are a reasonable approximation of their fair values.
The Group's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, put option liabilities, borrowings, and other financial obligations.
Derecognition
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the statement of income.
iii. Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
j) Inventories
Raw materials are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct materials, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs. Costs of purchased inventory are determined after deducting rebates and discounts. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
k) Cash and short-term deposits
Cash and short-term deposits in the statement of financial position comprise cash at banks and on hand and short-term deposits with original maturities of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
For the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits, as defined above, net of outstanding bank overdrafts as they are considered an integral part of the Group's cash management.
l) Borrowings
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a prepayment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
m) Borrowing costs
General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings, pending their expenditure on qualifying assets, is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
n) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. When the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example, under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to a provision is presented in the statement of profit or loss net of any reimbursement.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as a finance cost.
o) Pensions and other post-employment benefits
A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an expense in the income statement in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.
p) Segments
The Group has five operating segments based on geographical locations and these have been disclosed in note 7.
q) Leases as lessee (IFRS 16)
At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
As a lessee
At commencement or on modification of a contract that contains a lease component, along with one or more other lease or non-lease components, the Group accounts for each lease component separately from the non-lease components. However, for the non-leases element of the underlying asset, the Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of its relative stand-alone price and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components.
The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the end of the lease term or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group will exercise a purchase option. In that case the right-of-use asset will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as those of property and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing rate for the IFRS 16 calculations. This is set based upon the interest rate attached to the Group's financing and adjusted, where appropriate, for specific factors such as asset or company risk premiums.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
- fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments.
- variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date.
- amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee,
- the exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise,
- lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and
- penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably certain not to terminate early.
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, there is a change in the Group's estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment.
When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, to the extent that the right-of-use asset is reduced to nil, with any further adjustment required from the remeasurement being recorded in profit or loss.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Group has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for lease of low-value assets and short-term leases. The Group recognises the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
5. Key judgments and critical accounting estimates
5.1. Judgement
Useful economic lives of Brands
Management have assessed that the brands within the Group which have a value have an indefinite life. This is based on their strong history and existence in the market over a large number of years, in addition to the fact that these brands continue to grow and become more profitable. As the brands have been assigned an indefinite life then they are not amortised and assessed for impairment on an annual basis.
Control over subsidiaries
The Group makes acquisitions that often see a non-controlling interest retained by the seller. The assessment of if the Group has control of these acquisitions in order to consolidate is a critical judgement in these financial statements.
To determine whether it controls an investee an investor shall assess whether
it has all the following:
(a) Power over the investee.
(b) Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee.
(c) The ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor's returns.
Consideration of the following factors assist in making that determination:
(a) The purpose and design of the investee.
(b) What the relevant activities are and how decisions about those activities are made.
(c) Whether the rights of the investor give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities.
(d) Whether the investor is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee.
(e) Whether the investor has the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor's returns.
The Group is able to consolidate its subsidiary, Echo-Scan in Nigeria, despite owning only 39.6% indirect ownership. This is due to several reasons:
1) The Group exercises control over all intermediate entities that connect the parent company to Echo-Scan.
2) The Group has a technical service agreement in place, which grants them the authority to direct and oversee the operations of the subsidiaries in Nigeria.
Despite not having majority ownership, the Group's control over the intermediate entities and technical service agreement allows them to exercise control in their financial statements.
5.2. Estimates and assumptions
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are described below.
The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the consolidated financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur.
Impairment of intangible assets
The Group tests annually whether goodwill and other intangibles with indefinite lives have suffered any impairment. Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.
The recoverable amounts of cash generating units have been determined based on value in use. The value
in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow ("DCF") model.
The cash flows are derived from the budget for the next five years and do not include restructuring activities that the Group is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset performance of the CGU being tested. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes. For more detailed assumptions refer to (note 14).
Valuation of tangible assets resulting from business combination
The group uses different valuation techniques for different types of tangible assets as the following:
Building:
This method determines fair value by examining recent sales prices of comparable medical units in the surrounding area and applying adjustments for location, space, floor position, use (medical), and quality of finishes.
Comparable sales prices were based on price per square foot range. The average weighted price per square foot resulted in a value of 243m EGP. If the lowest price per square foot was used this would have resulted in a value of EGP 211 m. If the highest price per square foot had been used it would have resulted in a value of EGP 274 m.
Equipment:
The market value of the Equipment was assessed by obtaining a purchase quotation from the manufacturer of the Equipment and adjusting it with the technical depreciation rate and technical usability rate based on the data of purchase of the old owner and the condition of the equipment at the data of the acquisition.
If the technical depreciation rate had been increased by 10% and technical usability had been decreased by 10% then this would have resulted in a 44m EGP reduction in the value of the equipment.
Impairment of financial assets
The loss allowances for financial assets are based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Group uses judgement in making these assumptions and selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Group's history and existing market conditions, as well as forward-looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. Details of the key assumptions and inputs used are disclosed in note 17.

Financial instruments risk management objectives and policies
The Group's principal financial liabilities are trade and other payables, put option liabilities, borrowings and other financial liabilities. The Group's principal financial assets include trade and other receivables, financial assets at amortised cost, financial asset at fair value and cash and cash equivalents that derive directly from its operations.
The Group is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. The Group's senior management oversees the management of these risks. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarised below.
The board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, and credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.
- Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk and commodity risk. Financial instruments affected by market risk include borrowings and deposits.
The sensitivity analysis in the following sections relate to the position as at 31 December 2025 and 2024. The sensitivity analysis has been prepared on the basis that the amount of net debt, the ratio of fixed to floating interest rates of the debt and the proportion of financial instruments in foreign currencies are all constant.
The analysis excludes the impact of movements in market variables on provisions, and the non-financial assets and liabilities of foreign operations. The following assumptions have been made in calculating the sensitivity analysis:
Ø The sensitivity of the relevant consolidated income statement item is the effect of the assumed changes in respective market risks. This is based on the financial assets and financial liabilities held at 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024
- Interest rate risk
The Group is trying to minimize its interest rate exposure, especially in Egypt region, which has seen several interest rate rises over the year. Minimising interest rate exposure has been achieved partially by entering into fixed-rate instruments.
Exposure to interest rate risk
The interest rate profile of the Group's interest-bearing financial instruments as reported to the management of the Group is as follows:

Cash flow sensitivity analysis for variable-rate instruments
A reasonable possible change of 100 basis points in interest rates at the reporting date would have increased /(decreased) profit or loss by the amounts EGP 3,805k (2024: EGP 675k). This analysis assumes that all other variables, remain constant.
- Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the US Dollar, Sudanese Pound, the Jordanian Dinar, Nigerian Naira and Saudi Riyal. Foreign exchange risk arises from the Group's operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency), recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations. However, management aims to minimize open positions in foreign currencies to the extent that is necessary to conduct its activities.
Management has set up a policy to require group companies to manage their foreign exchange risk against their functional currency. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognised assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency.
At year end, major financial assets / (liabilities) denominated in foreign currencies were as follows:

At 31 December 2025, if the Egyptian Pound had weakened/strengthened by 10% against the US Dollar with all other variables held constant, total equity for the year would have increased/decreased by EGP (18.9m) (2024: EGP (17.7m), mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses and translation reserve on the translation of US dollar-denominated financial assets and liabilities as at the financial position of 31 December 2025.
At 31 December 2025, if the Egyptian Pound had weakened / strengthened by 10% against the Jordanian Dinar with all other variables held constant, total equity for the year would have increased/decreased by EGP (57m) (2024: EGP (51m), mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses and translation reserve on translation of JOD -denominated financial assets and liabilities as at the financial position of 31 December 2025.
- Price risk
The Group's exposure to equity securities price risk arises from investments held by the Group and classified in the balance sheet as at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL) (note 15).
- Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk a financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and it arises principally from under the Groups receivables. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables) and financial assets at amortised cost, such as term deposits and treasury bills.
Credit risk is managed on a group basis, except for credit risk relating to accounts receivable balances. Each local entity is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions.
The Group's cash balance and financial assets at amortized cost are held in financial institutions as of 31 December 2025, with 70% rated Caa1 for credit risk in Egypt, 8% rated at least Ba3 for credit risk in Jordan, 20% rated Aa2 for Bank Mashreq Dubai, and 2% rated at least B3 for credit risk in Nigeria.
The Group's cash balance and financial assets at amortized cost are held in financial institutions as of 31 December 2024, with 60% rated Caa1 for credit risk in Egypt, 10% rated at least Ba3 for credit risk in Jordan, 26% rated A3 for Bank Mashreq Dubai, and 4% rated at least Caa1 for credit risk in Nigeria.
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 or region in which customers operate. Details of concentration of revenue are included in the operating segment note (see Note 7).
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 and credit limit is set for each customer. The Group's review includes external ratings, if available, financial statements, industry information and in some cases bank references. Receivable limits are established for each customer and reviewed quarterly. Any receivable balance exceeding the set limit requires approval from the risk management committee. Outstanding customer receivables are regularly monitored and the average general credit terms given to contract customers are 45 - 60 days.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date on an individual basis for major clients. In addition, a large number of minor receivables are grouped into homogenous groups and assessed for impairment collectively. The calculation is based on actual incurred historical data and expected future credit losses. The Group does not hold collateral as security. That maximum exposure to credit risk is disclosed in note 17.
Cash and cash equivalents
Credit risk from balances with banks and financial institutions is managed by the Group's treasury department in accordance with the Group's policy. Investments of surplus funds are made only with approved counterparties and within credit limits assigned to each counterparty. Counterparty credit limits are reviewed by the Group's Board of Directors on an annual basis and may be updated throughout the year subject to approval of the Group's management. The limits are set to minimise the concentration of risks and therefore mitigate financial loss through a counterparty's potential failure to make payments.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents disclosed in Note 18.
- Liquidity risk
The Group's objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of finance leases and loans.
The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Group's financial liabilities based on contractual undiscounted cashflows:

Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by group finance. The Group finance monitors rolling forecasts of the Group's liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Group's compliance with internal financial position ratio targets and, if applicable external regulatory or legal requirements - for example, currency restrictions.
The Group's management retain cash balances in order to allow repayment of obligations in due dates, without taking into account any unusual effects which it cannot be predicted such as natural disasters. All suppliers and creditors will be repaid over a period not less 30 days from the date of the invoice or the date of the commitment.
7. Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting 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 steering committee that makes strategic decisions.
The preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements in conformity with adopted IFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities.
The Group has five operating segments based on geographical location, with the Group's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) reviewing the internal management reports and KPIs of each geography. The CODM does not separately review assets and liabilities of the Group by reportable segment.
The Group operates in five geographic areas, Egypt, Sudan, Jordan, Nigeria and Saudi Arabia. As a provider of medical diagnostic services, IDH's operations in Sudan are not subject to sanctions. The revenue split, adjusted EBITDA split (being the key profit measure reviewed by CODM), impairment loss on trade receivables and net profit and loss between the five regions is set out below.

8. Capital management
The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The repatriation of a declared dividend from Egyptian group entities are subject to regulation by Egyptian authorities. The outcome of an Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders declaring a dividend is first certified by the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI).
Approval is subsequently transmitted to Misr for Central Clearing, Depository and Registry (MCDR) to distribute dividends to all shareholders, regardless of their domicile, following notification of shareholders via publication in one national newspaper.
The Group monitors capital on the basis of the net debt to equity ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total equity. Net debt is calculated as (short-term and long-term financial obligation plus short-term and long term borrowings) less cash and cash equivalents and financial assets at amortised cost.

b) Reconciliation of effective tax rate
The company is a UK tax resident, and subject to UK taxation. Dividend income into the company is exempt from taxation when received from a wholly controlled subsidiary, and costs incurred by the company are considered unlikely to be recoverable against future UK taxable profits and therefore form part of our unrecognised deferred tax assets. Our judgement on tax residency has been made based on where we hold board meetings, our listing on the London Stock Exchange and interactions with investors, and where our company secretarial function is physically based. Our external company secretarial function manages a number of activities of our parent and its board. Board meetings are chaired in London and are now largely taking place physically in London with the expectation of one physical board meeting a year in Cairo.

All movements in the deferred tax asset/liability in the year have been recognised in the profit or loss account.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets have been calculated based on the enacted tax rate at 31 December 2025 for the country the liabilities and assets has arisen. The enacted tax rate in Egypt is 22.5% (2024: 22.5%), Jordan 21% (2024: 21%), Sudan 30% (2024: 30%) and Nigeria 30% (2024: 30%).
* Undistributed reserves from group subsidiaries
The Group's dividend policy is to distribute any excess cash after taking into consideration all business cash requirements and potential acquisition considerations. The expectation is to distribute profits held within subsidiaries of the Group in the near foreseeable future. During 2015 the Egyptian Government imposed a tax on dividends at a rate of 5% of dividends distributed from Egyptian entities. On September 30, 2020, the Egyptian government issued a law to increase the tax rate to 10%. As a result, a deferred tax liability has been recorded for the future tax expected to be incurred from undistributed reserves held within the Group which will be taxed under the new legislation imposed and were as follows:

Unrecognized deferred tax assets
The following items make up unrecognised deferred tax assets. The local tax law does not permit deductions for provisions against income tax until the provision becomes realised. No deferred tax asset has been recognised on tax losses for both Echo-Scan Nigeria and Wayak Egypt due to the uncertainty of the available future taxable profit, which the Group can use the benefits therefrom.

11. Earnings per share (EPS)
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit for the year attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. There are no dilutive effects from ordinary share and no adjustment required to weighted-average numbers of ordinary shares.
The following table reflects the income and share data used in the basic and diluted EPS computation:

Earnings per diluted share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares by the effects resulting from all the ordinary potential shares that causes this dilution.
The Company has no potentially dilutive shares as of the 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024, therefore; the earnings per diluted share are equivalent to basic earnings per share.

The above assumptions are based on historical performance, macroeconomic conditions and forecasted performance for each CGU.
Management have compared the recoverable amount of CGUs to the carrying value of CGUs. The recoverable amount is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs of disposal. In the exercise performed and the assumptions noted above the value in use was noted to be higher than the fair value less costs of disposal.
During 2025, management has conducted a business plan projection with the assumptions above used to calculate the net present value of future cashflows to determine recoverable amount. The projected cash flows from 2026- 2030 have been based on detailed forecasts prepared by management for each CGU and a terminal value thereafter. Management have used experience and historical trends achieved to determine the key growth rate and margin assumptions set out above. The terminal value growth rate applied is not considered to exceed the average growth rate for the industry and geographic locations of the CGUs.
This recoverable amount is then compared to the carrying value of the asset as recorded in the books and records of IDH plc. The WACC has been used considering the risks of each CGU. These risks include country risk, currency risk as well as the beta factor relating to the CGU and how it performs relative to the market.
The headroom between carrying value and recoverable amount is as follows:

Echo-Scan, and our other businesses are loss making but carry no goodwill or intangible assets, and thus where there are indicators of impairment risk this would relate to the specific recoverability of their net assets, which is largely Property Plant and Equipment in nature. Management have assessed these and consider either the values in question to not be significant, or that the carrying values are supported based on realisable value or forecast future profits and cashflow.
As a sensitivity analysis, management has also considered multiple Scenario to reflect additional risk. This did not result in an impairment under any of the CGUs that had a recoverable amount based on value in use as the following:

* On August 17, 2017, Al Makhbariyoun Al Arab (seller) has signed IT purchase Agreement with JSC Mega Lab (Buyer) to transfer and install the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) for a purchase price amounted to USD 400,000, which will be in the form of 10% equity stake in JSC Mega Lab. In case the valuation of the project is less or more than USD 4,000,000, the seller stake will be adjusted accordingly, in a way that the seller equity stake shall not fall below 5% of JSC Mega Lab.
- Ownership percentage in JSC Mega Lab at the transaction date on April 8, 2019, and as of December 31, 2025, was 8.25%.
- On April 8, 2019, Al Mokhabariyoun Al Arab (Biolab) signed a Shareholder Agreement with JSC Mega Lab and JSC Georgia Healthcare Group (CHG), which meant that BioLab had a put option, exercisable within 12 months immediately after the expiration of five (5) year period from the signing date. This put option allowed BioLab's stake to be bought out by CHG at a price of the equity value of BioLab Shares/total stake (being USD 400,000) plus 15% annual IRR (including preceding 5 Financial years). This option was not subsequently exercised, and therefore lapsed on April 8 2025. From this date, the agreement stated that CHG have a call option to purchase Biolab's shares at a price equivalent to the equity value of Biolab's stake (being USD 400,000) plus the higher of 20% annual IRR or 6X EV/EBITDA (of the financial year immediately preceding the call option exercise date).

The Group allocates each exposure to a credit risk grade based on data that is determined to be predictive of the risk of loss (historical customer's collection, Customers' contracts conditions) and applying experienced credit judgement. Credit risk grades are defined using qualitative and quantitative factors that are indicative of the risk of default.
Expected credit loss assessment is based on the following:
1. The customer list was divided into 9 sectors,
2. Each sector was divided according to customers aging,
3. Each sector was studied according to the historical events of each sector. According to the study conducted, the expected default rate was derived from each of the aforementioned period,
4. General economic conditions.
The results of the quarterly assessment will increase/decrease the percentage allocated to each period. Balances overdue by at least one year are fully provided for. On a quarterly basis, IDH revises its forward-looking estimates and the general economic conditions to assess the expected credit loss.
Impairment of trade and notes receivables
The requirement for impairment of trade receivables is made through monitoring the debts aging and reviewing customer's credit position and their ability to make payment as they fall due. An impairment is recorded against receivables for the irrecoverable amount estimated by management. At the year end, the provision for impairment of trade receivables was EGP 241,426k (31 December 2024: EGP 197,913k). This is lower than the amount of EGP 251,988k (31 December 2024: EGP 208,476k) as that amount also includes provision on other receivables.
A reasonable possible change of 100 basis points in the expected credit loss at the reporting date would have increased (decreased) profit or loss by the amount of EGP 12,379k. This analysis assumes that all other variables remain constant.
The following table provides information about the exposure to expected credit loss (ECL) for trade receivables from individual customers for the nine segments at:

Other Reserves
The capital reserve was created when the Group's previous parent company, Integrated Diagnostics Holdings LLC - IDH (Caymans) arranged its acquisition by Integrated Diagnostics Holdings PLC, a new legal parent. The balances arising represent the difference between the value of the equity structure of the previous and new parent companies.
During 2024, The capital reserve was impacted by the reduction of put option in Medical Health Development Company ("MHD") after acquiring the stake previously held by Izhoor Holding Medical Company LLC ("Izhoor"), therefore the put option is no longer needed.
During 2024, The capital redemption reserve was impacted by the purchasing and cancelling of treasury stocks based on approval by shareholders through an Extraordinary general meeting, The shares were purchased at an average price of EGP 20.05 per share for 18,673,728 shares.
Legal reserves
Legal reserve was formed based on the legal requirements of the Egyptian law governing the Egyptian subsidiaries. According to the Egyptian subsidiaries' article of association 5% (at least) of the annual net profit is set aside to from a legal reserve. The transfer to legal reserve ceases once this reserve reaches 50% of the entity's issued capital. If the reserve falls below the defined level, then the entity is required to resume forming it by setting aside 5% of the annual net profits until it reaches 50% of the issued share capital.
Put option reserve
Through acquisitions made within the Group, put option arrangements have been entered into to purchase the remaining equity interests in subsidiaries from the vendors at a subsequent date. At acquisition date an initial put option liability is recognised and a corresponding entry recognised within the put option reserve. After initial recognition the accounting policy for put options is to recognise all changes in the carrying value of the liability within put option reserve. When the put option is exercised by the vendors the amount recognised within the reserve will be reversed.
Translation reserve
The foreign currency translation reserve is used to record exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries.

Through the historical acquisitions of Al Makhbariyoun Al Arab the entered into separate put option arrangements to purchase the remaining equity interests from the vendors at a subsequent date. At acquisition a put option liability has been recognised for the net present value for the exercise price of the option.
The options is calculated at seven times EBITDA of the last 12 months minus Net Debt, it's exercisable in whole from the fifth anniversary of completion of the original purchase agreement, which fell due in June 2016. The vendor has not exercised this right at 31 December 2025. It is important to note that the put option liability is treated as current as it could be exercised at any time by the NCI. However, based on discussions and ongoing business relationship, there is no expectation that this will happen in next 21 months. The option has no expiry date.

The Group leases property and equipment. Property leases include branches, warehouse, parking and administration buildings. The leases typically run for average period from 5-10 years, with an option to renew the lease after that date. Lease payments are renegotiated with renovation after the end of the lease term to reflect market rentals. For certain leases, the Group is restricted from entering into any sub-lease arrangements. The property leases were entered into as combined leases of land and buildings.
If the minimum annual commitment payments are met over the agreement period ownership of the equipment supplied will legally transfer to the IDH. The finance asset and liability has been recognised at an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying equipment. This is based on the current cost price of the equipment supplied provided by the suppliers of the agreement. The averaged implicit interest rate of finance obligation has been estimated to be 10.3%. The equipment is being depreciated based on units of production method as this most closely reflects the consumption of the benefits from the equipment.
