fx-gains, unrealized gains on investments/seed capital; together with stronger
revenues recognized by different lines of business across all platforms;

·      Excluding Holding & Treasury Activities revenues in both
periods, the Group's revenue would be up 70% Y-o-Y, primarily on higher
revenues generated by Brokerage, Asset Management, Valu, Leasing, Tanmeyah and
aiBANK;

ECL) rose 67% Y-o-Y to EGP5.0 billion on higher operating expenses that
include employee expenses, other operating expenses and provisions & ECL.

in 1Q23;

·      EFG Holding net profit before tax climbed 137% Y-o-Y to EGP3.3
billion. Taxes for the Group rose 151% Y-o-Y, on higher tax charges related to
profitability generated by Egyptian entities, this in addition to higher
deferred taxes on unrealized gains and fx-gains. Despite higher taxes and
deferred taxes, EFG Holding net profit after tax and minority interest rose
110% Y-o-Y to EGP1.8 billion.

EFG Hermes

·      All different verticals of EFG Hermes reported a growth in
revenues, with Holding & Treasury Activities being the largest contributor
benefiting from the Egyptian pound losing more than c.50% of its value.
Additionally, the sell-side and the buy-side posted Y-o-Y increase in the
revenues, thus lifting EFG Hermes revenues up 104% Y-o-Y to EGP6.2 billion;

·      The Investment Bank operating expenses rose 85% Y-o-Y to EGP3.6
billion, mainly due to higher employee expenses, followed by higher other
operating expenses. Meanwhile, provisions & ECL declined in 1Q24;

billion. Pressured by higher contingent liability provisions, and taxes &

EFG Finance

·      A buoyant quarter for EFG Finance, with its revenues rising 58%
Y-o-Y to EGP1.1 billion, underpinned by revenues growth reported by all its
lines of business, particularly Valu and Leasing;

·      Operating expenses increased 40% Y-o-Y to EGP807 million; on
higher employee expenses, other operating expenses, and provisions and ECL.
The increase in operating expenses is mainly related to the growth in sales,
operations, and inflationary environment;

in revenues surpassed the increase in expenses. Despite a 100% Y-o-Y increase

profitability.

aiBANK

·      The Commercial Bank continued its upward trajectory, with
aiBANK's revenues soaring 75% Y-o-Y to EGP1.3 billion, driven mainly by higher
net interest income on the back of loan book growth and supported by an
increase in corridor rates. This in addition to higher revaluation gains and
revenues from fx-trading;

·      aiBANK operating expenses including provisions & ECL rose 22%
Y-o-Y to EGP523 million, on higher salaries on the back of promotions, new
hires and inflation; together with higher other G&A expenses, which came
lower than inflation, and higher provisions & ECL to mirror weaker
macro-economic indicators and loan portfolio growth;

·      The Bank's net profit after tax shot up 173% Y-o-Y to EGP475
million (of which the Group's share is EGP244 million), as revenues growth
outpaced the increase in expenses.
