Introduction

 

i.    Financial Highlights

·    Revenue increased by an impressive 126% year-on-year in 9M 2021 to
EGP 3,767 million on the back of strong results across both the Company's
Covid-19-related(3) and conventional tests portfolios. Top-line growth for the
period was supported by a 33% year-on-year increase in tests performed coupled
with a 70% year-on-year rise in average price per test. Controlling for
Covid-19-related tests, IDH's top-line expanded a solid 30% year-on-year in 9M
2021 as the Company's conventional test offering continues to pick up steam
following widespread shutdowns and lockdowns at the early onset of covid. In
Q3 2021, IDH outperformed its already impressive results from the first and
second quarters of this year to deliver quarter-on-quarter revenue growth of
27% and year-on-year revenue growth of 105%.

·    Covid-19-related tests include both core Covid-19 tests (Polymerase
Chain Reaction (PCR), Antigen, and Antibody) as well as other routine
inflammatory and clotting markers including, but not limited to, Complete
Blood Picture, Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), D-Dimer, Ferritin and
C-reactive Protein (CRP), which the Company opted to include in the
classification as "other Covid-19-related tests" due to the strong rise in
demand for these tests witnessed following the outbreak of Covid-19. More
specifically, during 9M 2021 core Covid-19 tests made up 42% of consolidated
revenue, while other Covid-19-related tests made a 9% contribution to
consolidated revenue for the nine-month period.

·    Consolidated revenues continued to be supported by IDH's house call
service in Egypt and Jordan. Revenue generated by the service expanded 146%
year-on-year in 9M 2021, with its contribution to total revenue reaching 20%
versus 19% in 9M 2020. Through its house call service, IDH successfully served
over 944 thousand patients in 9M 2021 (up 69% versus 9M 2020), performing 4.9
million tests (up 34% year-on-year). In response to the service's increasingly
popularity, the Company has been expanding its house call capabilities and in
9M 2021 was able to carry out an average of 3,500 house call visits per day,
up remarkably from the 2,000 visits per day performed in 9M 2020.

·    Gross Profit recorded EGP 2,167 million in 9M 2021, up 161%
year-on-year, with gross profit margin at 58% or an eight percentage points
expansion versus last year. Improved gross profitability for the period came
on the back strong top-line growth and the subsequent dilution of fixed costs
for the period such as direct salaries and wages and other expenses. On a
quarterly basis, gross profit recorded EGP 861 million, up 29% from Q2 2021
and with an associated margin of 58% versus 57% last quarter.

·    Operating Profit(4) posted a strong 217% year-on-year rise in 9M 2021
to EGP 1,823 million. Operating profit margin expanded an impressive 14
percentage points to reach 48% in 9M 2021 versus 34% this time last year. The
remarkable growth in operating profit was supported by strong gross
profitability for the period. Operating profitability was further buoyed by
the normalisation of provisions booked in 9M 2021, which stood at EGP 18
million down from the EGP 36 million in 9M 2020 that had been booked to
account for expected credit losses in accordance with IFRS 9.

·    Normalised EBITDA(5) increased 180% year-on-year to EGP 1,992 million
in 9M 2021, while EBITDA margin expanded 10 percentage points to record 53%
for the period. Strong EBITDA profitability was supported by the Company's
remarkable top-line growth and the subsequent dilution of its fixed costs. In
Q3 2021, normalised EBITDA reached EGP 790 million, up a solid 31% from last
quarter's figure. Normalised EBITDA margin stood at 54% for the quarter
compared to 52% in Q2 2021.

·    Net Profit recorded EGP 1,148 million in 9M 2021, a three-fold
increase from the same period of last year. Net profit margin stood at 30%
versus 22% in 9M 2020. Net profit growth comes on the back of strong EBITDA
level profitability and despite the Company booking EGP 29 million in one-off
fees related to its dual-listing in May 2021. On a quarterly basis, net profit
stood at EGP 480 million, up 47% quarter-on-quarter and with an associated
margin of 33% in Q3 2021 versus 28% the previous quarter.

·    Full-year guidance: IDH is on track to deliver record high revenues
of around EGP 4.9 billion in FY 2021 (representing year-on-year growth above
the 80% mark) with a normalised EBITDA margin(5) in the 50% range. The
record-breaking performance is set to be supported by the strong and sustained
recovery witnessed by IDH's conventional business coupled with robust
contributions coming from its Covid-19-related test offering in both Egypt and
Jordan.

ii.  Operational Highlights

·    IDH's branch network stood at 507 branches as of 30 September 2021,
up from 481 branches and 495 branches as of 31 December 2020 and 30 June 2021,
respectively.

·    Total tests performed increased 33% year-on-year to reach 25.0
million in 9M 2021. Test volume growth came on the back of both strong demand
for IDH's Covid-19-related(6) test offering coupled with a 20% year-on-year
increase in conventional tests performed by the Group during the nine-month
period. During the third quarter of the year, IDH performed 8.6 million tests,
up 5% from the previous quarter supported by both higher Covid-19-related and
conventional tests performed during the quarter.

·    Average revenue per test increased 70% year-on-year to EGP 151 in 9M
2021. Controlling for the generally higher value Covid-19-related(6) tests,
average revenue per test records an 8% increase versus last year.

·    Total patients served reached 7.5 million in 9M 2021, an increase of
56% from the comparable period of last year. Meanwhile, average test per
patient declined to 3.3 in 9M 2021 from 3.9 last year as an increasing number
of patients visit the Group's labs for single Covid-19 tests (PCR, Antigen and
Antibody).

·    IDH's Egyptian operations generated revenue of EGP 3,122 million, up
122% from 9M 2020 as both patient and test volumes posted solid year-on-year
expansions for the period. The country's top-line growth continued to be
supported by both Covid-19-related(6) and conventional tests, and was further
bolstered by the Group's house call service which in 9M 2021 contributed 23%
of Egypt's top-line versus 20% in 9M 2020. Controlling for Covid-19-related
contributions in 9M 2021, revenue increased 30% year-on-year driven by a 21%
increase in conventional tests performed versus last year.

·    Al-Borg Scan reported revenue of EGP 31 million, up 92% increase
compared to 9M 2020. Top-line growth at the venture was supported by a 75%
year-on-year rise in tests performed. To capitalise on the rising patient
demand for IDH's radiology service, the Group inaugurated a third Al-Borg Scan
branch in of the end of September 2021, with an additional two branches set to
come online over the coming six months.

·    Wayak reported standalone revenues of EGP 6.6 million in 9M 2021, up
from EGP 2.1 million this time last year. The venture's standalone EBITDA
losses continued to narrow reaching EGP 1.1 million in 9M 2021 from EGP 6.4
million in 9M 2020, supported by management's cost optimisation strategy.

·    In Jordan, revenue expanded 172% year-on-year during 9M 2021
supported by solid growth in both tests performed and average price per test.
Covid-19-related tests made up 62% of the country's top-line with the
contribution further bolstered by Biolab's multiple revenue-sharing
partnerships with Amman's Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA), Aqaba's
King Hussein International Airport (KHIA) and Aqaba Port. The agreements,
which see Biolab operate multiple testing stations primarily offering
Covid-19-related tests, generated a total of EGP 141 million in 9M 2021,
contributing 24% to Jordan's top-line. In parallel, demand for Biolab's
conventional test offering continues to increase steadily, with the number of
conventional tests performed and revenue generated during 9M 2021 increasing
32% and 35% year-on-year, respectively.

·    In Nigeria, revenues expanded 62% year-on-year (65% in NGN terms) in
9M 2021 supported by a 24% and 43% year-on-year increase in patients served
and tests performed, respectively. Echo-Lab's revenues have been posting
consistent quarter-on-quarter growth since the start of the year, and when
combined with the successful cost optimisation strategy implemented by the
venture's new management team, see Echo-Lab on track to turn EBITDA positive
early next year.

(6) Covid-19-related tests include both core Covid-19 tests (Polymerase Chain
Reaction (PCR), Antigen, and Antibody) as well as other routine inflammatory
and clotting markers including, but not limited to, Complete Blood Picture,
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), D-Dimer, Ferritin and C-reactive Protein
(CRP), which the Company opted to include in the classification as "other
Covid-19-related tests" due to the strong rise in demand for these tests
witnessed following the outbreak of Covid-19.

 

 

 

iii. Management Commentary

Commenting on the Group's performance, IDH Chief Executive Officer Dr. Hend
El-Sherbini said: "As we near the end of what is shaping out to be another
record-breaking year for IDH, I am delighted to present to you a new set of
impressive financial and operational results. During the third quarter of
2021, we successfully built on an already remarkable first half of the year to
report our highest ever revenue and net profit figures for a single quarter.
More specifically, during Q3 2021 we recorded top- and bottom-line
quarter-on-quarter growth of 27% and 47%, respectively, an outstanding
performance which was supported by growing demand across our entire offering.
While our Covid-19-related(7) offering continued to make a significant
contribution to consolidated revenue, we also witnessed a robust contribution
coming from our traditional offering with conventional revenues for Q3 2021
and 9M 2021 up 19% and 30% year-on-year, respectively. It is also worth
highlighting that our conventional test volumes are back to pre-Covid-19
levels on both a quarterly and year-to-date basis, and in 9M 2021 recorded a
3% increase versus the same nine months of 2019 once adjusting for the impact
of the 100 Million Healthy Lives campaign.(8)

Since the start of the year, we have displayed a remarkable ability to adapt
to changing market and demand dynamics and consistently cater to the evolving
needs of our growing patient base. In the third quarter, we continued to
effectively care for both our conventional and Covid-19 patients leveraging an
expanded branch network, a ramped up house call service, and a growing digital
presence to make our services increasingly accessible and our payment methods
increasingly convenient. On the one hand, we are continuing to serve our
Covid-19 patients by ensuring we are well-equipped to handle peaks in demand
when infection rates increase, while promptly adapting our offering to the
requirements of patients. Over the course of the year, IDH secured multiple
partnerships with international air carriers and regional healthcare providers
like National Air Services (NAS) and Pure Health UAE to conduct PCR testing
for passengers traveling from Egypt to other regional destinations. We also
offer PCR testing for passengers on a walk-in basis, with the Company being
the first lab in Egypt to provide QR codes on travel certificates. This
enabled us to not only to play an important role in supporting the recovery of
international travel, but also ensured that we successfully captured a leading
market share for the service. On the other hand, despite the challenges posed
by the pandemic, we have never lost sight of the needs of our conventional
patients, continuing to care for them even at the height of the Covid-19
crisis. Our efforts have focused on expanding our service offering and
delivery capabilities, as well as organising special campaigns to raise
healthcare awareness specifically targeting patients suffering from chronic
diseases, a particularly vulnerable category in light of the ongoing pandemic.

Looking at our geographies in more detail, I am pleased to note that Egypt,
Jordan and Nigeria continued to report strong growth during the third quarter
of the year. Highlights for Q3 2021 include the outstanding growth of Al-Borg
Scan, the continued ramp up of our house call services and of our AI-focused
subsidairy Wayak, and the important contributions coming from our
revenue-sharing partnerships in Jordan. During the quarter, Al-Borg Scan
reported year-on-year revenue growth of 52% and successfully rolled out its
third branch located in the strategic East Cairo neighbourhood of Heliopolis.
The launch comes as part of a wider ramp up strategy which in the coming six
months will see us roll out an additional two branches. Meanwhile, our house
call services in both Egypt and Jordan are continuing to record steady growth,
and in Q3 2021 we served 39% more house call patients than in the comparable
quarter of last year. Through our house call service, we are able to carry out
more tests per patient than at our traditional branches, enabling us to
deliver on an important pillar of our long-term growth strategy and further
emphasising the significant potential offered by the service well beyond the
end of the Covid-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, operations at Wayak continued to be
ramped up effectively, with the venture's losses declining further, supported
by strong top-line growth and management's cost optimisation strategy. In
Jordan, our multiple revenue-sharing agreements with QAIA, KHIA and Aqaba
Port, made a noteworthy 46% contribution to the country's topline for the
quarter, with their positive impact on Biolab's top-line set to continue in
the coming months as international travel recovers further. In Nigeria, EBITDA
losses excluding a one-time adjustment continued their steady narrowing.
Revenue at Echo-Lab has been consistently growing quarter-on-quarter
throughout 2021, and when combined with the stellar work being done by the
company's new management team to streamline operations, sees the venture on
track to turn EBITDA positive early next year. Finally, in Sudan our results
continued to be heavily impacted by the Sudanese Pound devaluation from
earlier in the year. Moreover, we are continuing to monitor the mounting
political and social unrest across the country, and our management team on the
ground is well-prepared to take the necessary measures to protect our
patients, staff, and operations.

Looking ahead, our strategic priorities remain unchanged as we continue
assisting local authorities in their battle against Covid-19 while
simultaneously pressing forward with our post-pandemic strategy and set the
foundations for a new chapter of sustainable growth. On this front, during the
quarter we launched our new loyalty programme specifically aimed at retaining
the new patients we were able to acquire since the start of the pandemic. At
the same time, we rolled out an additional 12 branches in Q3 2021, and remain
on track to reach our target of 30 to 35 new branch rollouts in 2021. Our
ability to consistently rollout new branches currently sees us operate the
largest network of branches amongst private players in the country and enables
us to maintain our leadership position in the market. We are also continuing
to assess potential value-accretive acquisition opportunities in new markets
across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia where we feel our business model is
best-suited to capitalise on healthcare and consumer trends similar to those
prevailing in our current markets of operation. Finally, while the ongoing
global supply chain disruptions have had no impacts on our operations so far,
we are keeping a close eye on the evolving situation and have taken proactive
steps to build up our inventory to shield ourselves from any potential future
disruptions. It is also worth highlighting that our test kits are purchased on
fixed-price contracts with tenors ranging from five to seven years, providing
effective protection from short-term price fluctuations.

In light of our most recent results, we are on track to post record revenues
of around EGP 4.9 billion in FY 2021, representing a year-on-year growth above
the 80% mark, with a normalised EBITDA margin(9) in the 50% range. The
record-breaking performance is expected to come on the back of strong and
sustained recovery witnessed at our conventional business coupled with robust
contributions from our Covid-19-related test offering in both Egypt and
Jordan."

Group Operational & Financial Review

 

i.    Revenue and Cost Analysis

 

 Revenue

 Consolidated revenue recorded EGP 3,767 million in 9M 2021, a 126%
 year-on-year increase driven by both a 33% year-on-year increase in tests
 performed and a 70% year-on-year rise in average price per test. The Group's
 top-line growth was supported by its Covid-19-related(12) and conventional
 test portfolios, both of which recorded growing demand during the period.
 IDH's Covid-19-related offering contributed to exactly half of consolidated
 revenue versus the 14% contribution made this time last year. Meanwhile,
 revenues generated by IDH's conventional test offering recorded a robust 30%
 year-on-year rise as tests performed increased 20% versus last year and
 average price per conventional test increased 8% from 9M 2020.

 Breaking down the Group's Covid-19-related offering further, revenues
 generated from core Covid-19 tests (PCR, Antigen and Antibody) reached to EGP
 1,580 million in 9M 2021, contributing to 42% of total revenue for the period.
 In parallel, revenue generated by IDH's other Covid-19-related tests reached
 EGP 321 million in 9M 2021.

 IDH's consolidated top-line was further bolstered by its house call services
 in Egypt and Jordan, with revenue generated by the service expanding 146%
 year-on-year in 9M 2021 to reach EGP 770 million. The service's contribution
 to total revenue reached 20% in 9M 2021 versus the 19% contribution in 9M
 2020. Through its house call service, IDH served more than 944 thousand
 patients in the nine-month period, an increase of 69% from last year, and
 performed more than 4.9 million tests, up 34% year-on-year. In response to the
 service's increasingly popularity, the Company has been expanding its house
 call capabilities, and in 9M 2021 was able to carry out an average of 3,500
 house call visits per day, up remarkably from the 2,000 visits per day
 performed in 9M 2020. It is worth noting that in 9M 2021, average revenue per
 house call test stood at EGP 157 (versus the Group's average of EGP 151),
 while the number of tests per house call patient stood at 5.2 (versus the
 Group's average of 3.3 tests).

 The Group's year-to-date performance was supported by a record-breaking third
 quarter, which saw the Company outperform its results from the first and
 second quarters of 2021 to record revenues of EGP 1,473 million, up 27% versus
 Q2 2021 and 30% versus Q1 2021. Moreover, revenues in the third quarter more
 than doubled year-on-year. Top-line growth for the quarter was supported by
 strong results across the entirety of IDH's service portfolio with the number
 of conventional tests performed increasing 8% quarter-on-quarter. It is worth
 noting that revenues during the month of September reached record highs,
 recording 44% above the average monthly revenue in the preceding eight months.
 Total Covid-19-related tests contributed to 59% of September's top-line as the
 recovery in international travel saw IDH record growing demand for PCR tests
 from travellers.

 Revenue Analysis: Contribution by Patient Segment

 Contract Segment

 At the Group's contract segment, revenue increased 133% year-on-year in 9M
 2021 on the back of 34% year-on-year increase in test performed and a 74%
 year-on-year rise in average revenue per contract test. This pushed the
 segment's contribution to total revenues up to 57% for the period versus 55%
 in the comparable nine-month period of last year. Covid-19-related(13) testing
 contributed 52% of contract revenues in 9M 2021 as the Company continued to
 witness strong demand for its offering in both Egypt and Jordan. Controlling
 for contributions made by Covid-19-related tests during the period, the
 contract segment would record a 32% year-on-year increase in revenue supported
 by a 23% rise in tests performed and a 7% increase in average revenue per
 test.

 The contract segment's results continued to include contributions from IDH's
 multiple partnerships to conduct PCR testing for passengers. More
 specifically, IDH's agreement with Pure Health UAE, generated EGP 81 million
 in the nine-month period. Meanwhile, the Group's agreement with National Air
 Services (NAS) contributed EGP 79 million to the segment's top-line. In
 Jordan, the Group's partnership with Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA)
 generated EGP 84 million, while Biolab's agreements with Aqaba's King Hussein
 International Airport (KHIA) and Aqaba Port contributed an additional EGP 57
 million to the segment. It is worth highlighting that Biolab's partnership
 with KHIA started in August 2020, followed by the company's agreement with
 Aqaba Port which kicked off in May 2021, and its partnership with QAIA which
 commenced in August 2021.

 Walk-in Segment

 Revenue from IDH's walk-in segment recorded a 116% year-on-year expansion in
 9M 2021, contributing 43% of consolidated revenues for the nine-month period
 versus the 45% contribution in 9M 2020. During 9M 2021, average revenue per
 test at the walk-in segment increased 66% year-on-year, while tests performed
 increased by 30% versus the same period a year ago. The contribution of
 Covid-19-related tests to the walk-in segment stood at 48% in 9M 2021.
 Controlling for this, walk-in revenues recorded a 29% increase versus last
 year, as conventional walk-in tests grew 13% year-on-year and revenue per
 conventional walk-in test increased 13% versus 9M 2020.

 Revenue Analysis: Contribution by Geography

 Egypt

 In Egypt, revenues recorded EGP 3,122 million in 9M 2021, up 122% year-on-year
 on the back of a 30% year-on-year rise in tests performed and a 70%
 year-on-year increase in average revenue per test. Revenue growth for the
 nine-month period was supported by both the Group's Covid-19-related(14) test
 offering which in 9M 2021 made up 49% of the Egypt's top-line, as well as the
 country's conventional test offering. When controlling for contributions made
 by Covid-19-related tests during the period, revenue generated by conventional
 tests increased 30% versus 9M 2020 supported by a 21% rise in conventional
 tests performed.

 On a quarterly basis, revenues generated by IDH's Egyptian operations reached
 EGP 1,187 million in Q3 2021, up 97% versus the same three months of last year
 and 17% above Q2 2021. During the third quarter, IDH saw Covid-19-related
 revenues in Egypt reach EGP 614 million versus EGP 504 million in Q2 2021,
 mainly driven by growing demand for PCR tests coming from international
 travellers as restrictions imposed by governments around the world continued
 to ease.

 IDH's house call service, which has been successfully ramped up to capitalise
 on the service's growing popularity, recorded revenue of EGP 725 million in 9M
 2021, up 152% year-on-year. The service's contribution to Egypt's top-line
 stood at 23% in 9M 2021, versus the 20% contribution made in the comparable
 period of last year.

 Al-Borg Scan reported revenue of EGP 31 million in 9M 2021, a 92% year-on-year
 increase. Top-line growth at the venture was supported by a 75% rise in tests
 performed versus the same nine months a year ago. To capitalise on the rising
 patient demand for IDH's radiology service, the Group inaugurated a third
 Al-Borg Scan branch at the end of September of this year, with an additional
 two branches set to come online over the coming twelve months.

 Overall, IDH served 6.3 million patients in Egypt and performed 22.1 million
 tests in 9M 2021, up by 45% and 30% year-on-year, respectively.

 Jordan

 IDH's Jordanian operations reported year-on-year revenue grow of 172% in 9M
 2021 recording EGP 592 million. Top-line growth was driven by an 81% increase
 in test performed coupled with a 50% rise in Biolab's average revenue per
 test. In the nine-month period, Covid-19-related tests (PCR, Antigen, and
 Antibody) contributed to 62% of Biolab's revenue and to 31% of its tests
 performed. Controlling for this, revenue increased 35% year-on-year on the
 back of a 32% increase in conventional tests performed. Meanwhile, the
 country's top-line continued to be bolstered by Biolab's house call service
 which in 9M 2021 generated EGP 45 million in revenue, up 81% year-on-year.

 On a quarterly basis, Jordan's revenue reached EGP 269 million, a 101%
 increase from last quarter's figure and up 167% versus Q3 2020. The impressive
 quarter-on-quarter expansion was supported by an EGP 84 million net revenue
 contribution coming from Biolab's new partnership with QAIA coupled with the
 EGP 40 million in net revenue coming from its partnerships with KHIA and Aqaba
 Port. PCR test volumes generated by Biolab's testing stations in QAIA, KHIA,
 and Aqaba Port more than offset a general decrease in demand for
 Covid-19-related testing as infection rates declined following the continued
 ramp up of the country's vaccination campaign.

 Nigeria

 At the Group's Nigerian subsidiary, revenue recorded EGP 40 million in 9M
 2021, up 62% year-on-year. In local currency terms, growth was even more
 pronounced with revenues up 65% year-on-year on the back of a 43% year-on-year
 expansion in tests performed (patients served were up 24%) and a 13% rise in
 average revenue per test. The continued growth in patient and test volumes
 over the last two years has come as a direct result of management's revamp
 strategy which has involved the complete renovation of Echo-Lab's branches
 combined with the rollout of targeted marketing campaigns aimed at stimulating
 demand for the venture's services. In parallel, volumes are also benefitting
 from a gradual normalisation of traffic following the easing of restrictive
 measures enforced to curb the spread of Covid-19 throughout 2020. On a
 quarterly basis, IDH's Nigeria operations reported revenues of EGP 14.9
 million in Q3 2021, up 54% year-on-year and 16% versus Q2 2021. It is worth
 noting that Dr. Alok Bhatia joined Echo-Lab as CEO in March 2021.

 Sudan

 In Sudan, IDH reported a 41% year-on-year decline in revenues to EGP 12
 million for 9M 2021. The country's results continue to be significantly
 impacted by the devaluation of the Sudanese pound in early 2021 with the
 average SDG/EGP rate in 9M 2021 standing at 0.07 versus 0.30 this time last
 year. Nonetheless, management's continued success in raising prices in step
 with inflation, saw revenue in local currency terms expand a remarkable 169%
 year-on-year in 9M 2021.

 Cost of Goods Sold

 IDH's cost of goods sold increased 90% year-on-year to EGP 1,600 million in 9M
 2021, rising at a significantly slower pace than the Group's top-line during
 the period. As such, gross profit for 9M 2021 increased 161% year-on-year to
 EGP 2,167 million, with an associated margin of 58% versus 50% last year.

 COGS Breakdown as a Percentage of Revenue

                                 9M 2020  9M 2021
 Raw Materials                    16.4%    18.3%
 Wages & Salaries                 16.0%    12.5%
 Depreciation & Amortisation      7.1%     4.0%
 Other Expenses                   10.8%    7.6%
 Total                            50.3%    42.5%

 

 Raw material costs, which include cost of specialized analysis at other
 laboratories, recorded EGP 690 million in 9M 2021, and continued to make up
 the lion share of total COGS at 43%. As a share of revenue, raw material costs
 increased to 18.3% in 9M 2021 compared to 16.4% last year. This increase is
 primarily attributable to higher raw material costs as a share of revenue
 recorded in Jordan, with Biolab's raw material to revenues ratio reaching 33%
 in 9M 2021 from 25% in 9M 2020 mainly due to additional fees incurred by the
 company during the months of August and September as part of its revenue
 sharing agreement with QAIA.

 Direct salaries and wages increased 77% year-on-year to EGP 473 million in 9M
 2021 and made up the second largest share of total COGS for the nine-month
 period at 30%. The year-on-year increase is largely attributable to a rise in
 the share of profits allocated to direct salaries and wages to EGP 141 million
 in 9M 2021 from EGP 50 million in the comparable period of 2020 following
 higher net profit recorded at its Egyptian operations,(15) in addition to
 higher bonuses and incentives paid during 9M 2021 in light of the impressive
 performance recorded during the period.

 Direct depreciation and amortisation increased 28% year-on-year in 9M 2021 to
 EGP 152 million, principally due to the incremental amortisation of additional
 branches (IFRS 16 right-of-use assets).

 EBITDA

 IDH's normalised EBITDA(16) recorded EGP 1,992 million in 9M 2021, up 180%
 year-on-year. Normalised EBITDA margin expanded to 53% in 9M 2021 versus 43%
 last year. Improved EBITDA level profitability was supported by strong
 top-line growth and the subsequent dilution of fixed costs. EBITDA growth was
 further bolstered by the normalization of provisions booked during 9M 2021,
 which recorded EGP 18 million versus the EGP 36 million booked in 9M 2020 to
 account for expected credit losses in accordance with IFRS 9. It is worth
 noting that normalised EBITDA excludes one-off listing fees of EGP 29 million
 incurred in 9M 2021 related to the Company's dual listing on the EGX completed
 in May 2021.

 On a quarterly basis, normalised EBITDA expanded 130% year-on-year to record
 EGP 790 million in Q3 2021. This represents a 31% quarter-on-quarter increase
 largely driven by the strong top-line growth recorded by the Group during the
 third quarter. Normalised EBITDA margin stood at 54% for the quarter, up from
 the 48% margin recorded in Q3 2020 and the 52% margin recorded in Q2 2021.

 In Egypt, EBITDA recorded EGP 1,761 million in 9M 2021, up 177% year-on-year
 on the back of strong top-line growth. EBITDA margin increased to 56% for the
 nine-month period from 45% in 9M 2020.

 IDH's Jordanian operations recorded a 206% year-on-year increase in EBITDA to
 EGP 236 million for 9M 2021 supported by strong revenue growth for the period.
 In local currency terms, EBITDA grew 208% compared to 9M 2020. EBITDA margin
 recorded 40% in 9M 2021 compared to 35% in 9M 2020.

 In Nigeria, EBITDA losses increased to EGP 5.2 million in 9M 2021 compared to
 EGP 3.8 million in the same nine months of 2020. Increased losses are
 partially attributable to an increase in management salaries incurred during
 the course of 2021 following the hiring of a new CEO at Echo-Lab in Q1 2021.
 Moreover, it is also worth noting that the figure includes a one-off
 adjustment related to the previous year of EGP 4.4 million. Excluding the
 one-off adjustment, EBITDA losses would have reached EGP 0.8 million,
 representing a significant improvement compared to the same period of last
 year.

 Finally, Sudan's EBITDA recorded EGP 0.2 million in 9M 2021, down 86%
 year-on-year with an EBITDA margin of 1% compared to 6% in 9M 2020. EBITDA for
 the period was weighed down by the sharp SDG devaluation in February of this
 year. In SDG terms EBITDA declined 38% year-on-year.

 (15) According to IAS 1, 10% of Egypt's net profit is allocated to direct
 wages and salaries.

 (16) Normalised EBITDA is calculated as operating profit plus depreciation and
 amortization and minus one-off fees incurred in 9M 2021 related to the
 Company's EGX listing completed in May 2021.

 Interest Income / Expense

 IDH recorded interest income of EGP 69 million in 9M 2021, up 56% year-on-year
 on the back of higher cash balances during the period coupled with proper cash
 allocation between T-bills and time deposits.

 Interest expense recorded EGP 83 million in the 9M 2021, up 56% year-on-year.
 The increase in attributable to:

 ·    Higher interest on lease liabilities related to IFRS 16 following the
 addition of new branches and the renewal of medical equipment agreements with
 our main equipment suppliers.

 ·    Higher bank charges resulting from increased penetration of, and
 reliance on, POS machines and electronic payments in both Egypt and Jordan
 during the period. It is important to note that bank charges recorded by IDH's
 Jordanian operations represented 51% of total bank charges during 9M 2021,
 which is mainly related to the newly launched partnership with QAIA.

 ·    Loan-related expenses incurred by IDH during the period as the
 Company secured a new eight-year US$ 45 million facility with the
 International Finance Corporation (IFC) in May 2021. During 9M 2021, IDH
 booked loan-related expenses of EGP 14.6 million including a front-end fee,
 syndication fee, and legal advisory fees.

 (17 )Interest expenses on medium-term loans divided as EGP 2.3 million related
 to IDH's facility with the Commercial International Bank (CIB) and EGP 4.6
 million related to IDH's facility with Ahli United Bank Egypt (AUBE).

 Foreign Exchange

 IDH recorded a net foreign exchange loss of EGP 18 million in 9M 2021 compared
 to EGP 10 million in the same nine months of 2020. The figure largely reflects
 FX losses on the back of the SDG devaluation versus the EGP in February 2021.

 Taxation

 Tax expenses recorded in the first nine months of 2021 were EGP 610 million
 compared to EGP 182 million in the same period of last year. The effective tax
 rate stood at 35% in the period versus 33% in 9M 2020, reflecting the change
 in withholding tax on undistributed profits from 5% to 10% which came into
 effect in Egypt in September of last year. It is important to note that there
 is no tax payable for IDH's two companies at the holding level, while tax was
 paid on profits generated by operating subsidiaries.

 Net Profit

 IDH's consolidated net profit recorded EGP 1,148 million in 9M 2021, an
 impressive three-fold year-on-year increase. Improving net profitability was
 supported by strong revenue growth coupled with the dilution of fixed costs,
 higher interest income and normalising provisions for the nine-month period.
 As such, net profit margin expanded eight percentage points year-on-year to
 record 30% in 9M 2021.

 

(12) Covid-19-related tests include both core Covid-19 tests (Polymerase Chain
Reaction (PCR), Antigen, and Antibody) as well as other routine inflammatory
and clotting markers including, but not limited to, Complete Blood Picture,
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), D-Dimer, Ferritin and C-reactive Protein
(CRP), which the Company opted to include in the classification as "other
Covid-19-related tests" due to the strong rise in demand for these tests
witnessed following the outbreak of Covid-19.

 

Revenue Analysis: Contribution by Patient Segment

 

Contract Segment

At the Group's contract segment, revenue increased 133% year-on-year in 9M
2021 on the back of 34% year-on-year increase in test performed and a 74%
year-on-year rise in average revenue per contract test. This pushed the
segment's contribution to total revenues up to 57% for the period versus 55%
in the comparable nine-month period of last year. Covid-19-related(13) testing
contributed 52% of contract revenues in 9M 2021 as the Company continued to
witness strong demand for its offering in both Egypt and Jordan. Controlling
for contributions made by Covid-19-related tests during the period, the
contract segment would record a 32% year-on-year increase in revenue supported
by a 23% rise in tests performed and a 7% increase in average revenue per
test.

 

The contract segment's results continued to include contributions from IDH's
multiple partnerships to conduct PCR testing for passengers. More
specifically, IDH's agreement with Pure Health UAE, generated EGP 81 million
in the nine-month period. Meanwhile, the Group's agreement with National Air
Services (NAS) contributed EGP 79 million to the segment's top-line. In
Jordan, the Group's partnership with Queen Alia International Airport (QAIA)
generated EGP 84 million, while Biolab's agreements with Aqaba's King Hussein
International Airport (KHIA) and Aqaba Port contributed an additional EGP 57
million to the segment. It is worth highlighting that Biolab's partnership
with KHIA started in August 2020, followed by the company's agreement with
Aqaba Port which kicked off in May 2021, and its partnership with QAIA which
commenced in August 2021.

 

Walk-in Segment

Revenue from IDH's walk-in segment recorded a 116% year-on-year expansion in
9M 2021, contributing 43% of consolidated revenues for the nine-month period
versus the 45% contribution in 9M 2020. During 9M 2021, average revenue per
test at the walk-in segment increased 66% year-on-year, while tests performed
increased by 30% versus the same period a year ago. The contribution of
Covid-19-related tests to the walk-in segment stood at 48% in 9M 2021.
Controlling for this, walk-in revenues recorded a 29% increase versus last
year, as conventional walk-in tests grew 13% year-on-year and revenue per
conventional walk-in test increased 13% versus 9M 2020.

Revenue Analysis: Contribution by Geography

 

Egypt

In Egypt, revenues recorded EGP 3,122 million in 9M 2021, up 122% year-on-year
on the back of a 30% year-on-year rise in tests performed and a 70%
year-on-year increase in average revenue per test. Revenue growth for the
nine-month period was supported by both the Group's Covid-19-related(14) test
offering which in 9M 2021 made up 49% of the Egypt's top-line, as well as the
country's conventional test offering. When controlling for contributions made
by Covid-19-related tests during the period, revenue generated by conventional
tests increased 30% versus 9M 2020 supported by a 21% rise in conventional
tests performed.

 

On a quarterly basis, revenues generated by IDH's Egyptian operations reached
EGP 1,187 million in Q3 2021, up 97% versus the same three months of last year
and 17% above Q2 2021. During the third quarter, IDH saw Covid-19-related
revenues in Egypt reach EGP 614 million versus EGP 504 million in Q2 2021,
mainly driven by growing demand for PCR tests coming from international
travellers as restrictions imposed by governments around the world continued
to ease.

 

IDH's house call service, which has been successfully ramped up to capitalise
on the service's growing popularity, recorded revenue of EGP 725 million in 9M
2021, up 152% year-on-year. The service's contribution to Egypt's top-line
stood at 23% in 9M 2021, versus the 20% contribution made in the comparable
period of last year.

 

Al-Borg Scan reported revenue of EGP 31 million in 9M 2021, a 92% year-on-year
increase. Top-line growth at the venture was supported by a 75% rise in tests
performed versus the same nine months a year ago. To capitalise on the rising
patient demand for IDH's radiology service, the Group inaugurated a third
Al-Borg Scan branch at the end of September of this year, with an additional
two branches set to come online over the coming twelve months.

 

Overall, IDH served 6.3 million patients in Egypt and performed 22.1 million
tests in 9M 2021, up by 45% and 30% year-on-year, respectively.

Jordan

IDH's Jordanian operations reported year-on-year revenue grow of 172% in 9M
2021 recording EGP 592 million. Top-line growth was driven by an 81% increase
in test performed coupled with a 50% rise in Biolab's average revenue per
test. In the nine-month period, Covid-19-related tests (PCR, Antigen, and
Antibody) contributed to 62% of Biolab's revenue and to 31% of its tests
performed. Controlling for this, revenue increased 35% year-on-year on the
back of a 32% increase in conventional tests performed. Meanwhile, the
country's top-line continued to be bolstered by Biolab's house call service
which in 9M 2021 generated EGP 45 million in revenue, up 81% year-on-year.

 

On a quarterly basis, Jordan's revenue reached EGP 269 million, a 101%
increase from last quarter's figure and up 167% versus Q3 2020. The impressive
quarter-on-quarter expansion was supported by an EGP 84 million net revenue
contribution coming from Biolab's new partnership with QAIA coupled with the
EGP 40 million in net revenue coming from its partnerships with KHIA and Aqaba
Port. PCR test volumes generated by Biolab's testing stations in QAIA, KHIA,
and Aqaba Port more than offset a general decrease in demand for
Covid-19-related testing as infection rates declined following the continued
ramp up of the country's vaccination campaign.

(14) Covid-19-related tests include both core Covid-19 tests (Polymerase Chain
Reaction (PCR), Antigen, and Antibody) as well as other routine inflammatory
and clotting markers including, but not limited to, Complete Blood Picture,
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR), D-Dimer, Ferritin and C-reactive Protein
(CRP), which the Company opted to include in the classification as "other
Covid-19-related tests" due to the strong rise in demand for these tests
witnessed following the outbreak of Covid-19.

 

Nigeria

At the Group's Nigerian subsidiary, revenue recorded EGP 40 million in 9M
2021, up 62% year-on-year. In local currency terms, growth was even more
pronounced with revenues up 65% year-on-year on the back of a 43% year-on-year
expansion in tests performed (patients served were up 24%) and a 13% rise in
average revenue per test. The continued growth in patient and test volumes
over the last two years has come as a direct result of management's revamp
strategy which has involved the complete renovation of Echo-Lab's branches
combined with the rollout of targeted marketing campaigns aimed at stimulating
demand for the venture's services. In parallel, volumes are also benefitting
from a gradual normalisation of traffic following the easing of restrictive
measures enforced to curb the spread of Covid-19 throughout 2020. On a
quarterly basis, IDH's Nigeria operations reported revenues of EGP 14.9
million in Q3 2021, up 54% year-on-year and 16% versus Q2 2021. It is worth
noting that Dr. Alok Bhatia joined Echo-Lab as CEO in March 2021.

 

Sudan

In Sudan, IDH reported a 41% year-on-year decline in revenues to EGP 12
million for 9M 2021. The country's results continue to be significantly
impacted by the devaluation of the Sudanese pound in early 2021 with the
average SDG/EGP rate in 9M 2021 standing at 0.07 versus 0.30 this time last
year. Nonetheless, management's continued success in raising prices in step
with inflation, saw revenue in local currency terms expand a remarkable 169%
year-on-year in 9M 2021.

Cost of Goods Sold

IDH's cost of goods sold increased 90% year-on-year to EGP 1,600 million in 9M
2021, rising at a significantly slower pace than the Group's top-line during
the period. As such, gross profit for 9M 2021 increased 161% year-on-year to
EGP 2,167 million, with an associated margin of 58% versus 50% last year.

 

COGS Breakdown as a Percentage of Revenue

                                  9M 2020  9M 2021
 Raw Materials                    16.4%    18.3%
 Wages & Salaries                 16.0%    12.5%
 Depreciation & Amortisation      7.1%     4.0%
 Other Expenses                   10.8%    7.6%
 Total                            50.3%    42.5%

 

Raw material costs, which include cost of specialized analysis at other
laboratories, recorded EGP 690 million in 9M 2021, and continued to make up
the lion share of total COGS at 43%. As a share of revenue, raw material costs
increased to 18.3% in 9M 2021 compared to 16.4% last year. This increase is
primarily attributable to higher raw material costs as a share of revenue
recorded in Jordan, with Biolab's raw material to revenues ratio reaching 33%
in 9M 2021 from 25% in 9M 2020 mainly due to additional fees incurred by the
company during the months of August and September as part of its revenue
sharing agreement with QAIA.

 

Direct salaries and wages increased 77% year-on-year to EGP 473 million in 9M
2021 and made up the second largest share of total COGS for the nine-month
period at 30%. The year-on-year increase is largely attributable to a rise in
the share of profits allocated to direct salaries and wages to EGP 141 million
in 9M 2021 from EGP 50 million in the comparable period of 2020 following
higher net profit recorded at its Egyptian operations,(15) in addition to
higher bonuses and incentives paid during 9M 2021 in light of the impressive
performance recorded during the period.

 

Direct depreciation and amortisation increased 28% year-on-year in 9M 2021 to
EGP 152 million, principally due to the incremental amortisation of additional
branches (IFRS 16 right-of-use assets).

 

EBITDA

IDH's normalised EBITDA(16) recorded EGP 1,992 million in 9M 2021, up 180%
year-on-year. Normalised EBITDA margin expanded to 53% in 9M 2021 versus 43%
last year. Improved EBITDA level profitability was supported by strong
top-line growth and the subsequent dilution of fixed costs. EBITDA growth was
further bolstered by the normalization of provisions booked during 9M 2021,
which recorded EGP 18 million versus the EGP 36 million booked in 9M 2020 to
account for expected credit losses in accordance with IFRS 9. It is worth
noting that normalised EBITDA excludes one-off listing fees of EGP 29 million
incurred in 9M 2021 related to the Company's dual listing on the EGX completed
in May 2021.

 

On a quarterly basis, normalised EBITDA expanded 130% year-on-year to record
EGP 790 million in Q3 2021. This represents a 31% quarter-on-quarter increase
largely driven by the strong top-line growth recorded by the Group during the
third quarter. Normalised EBITDA margin stood at 54% for the quarter, up from
the 48% margin recorded in Q3 2020 and the 52% margin recorded in Q2 2021.

 

In Egypt, EBITDA recorded EGP 1,761 million in 9M 2021, up 177% year-on-year
on the back of strong top-line growth. EBITDA margin increased to 56% for the
nine-month period from 45% in 9M 2020.

 

IDH's Jordanian operations recorded a 206% year-on-year increase in EBITDA to
EGP 236 million for 9M 2021 supported by strong revenue growth for the period.
In local currency terms, EBITDA grew 208% compared to 9M 2020. EBITDA margin
recorded 40% in 9M 2021 compared to 35% in 9M 2020.

 

In Nigeria, EBITDA losses increased to EGP 5.2 million in 9M 2021 compared to
EGP 3.8 million in the same nine months of 2020. Increased losses are
partially attributable to an increase in management salaries incurred during
the course of 2021 following the hiring of a new CEO at Echo-Lab in Q1 2021.
Moreover, it is also worth noting that the figure includes a one-off
adjustment related to the previous year of EGP 4.4 million. Excluding the
one-off adjustment, EBITDA losses would have reached EGP 0.8 million,
representing a significant improvement compared to the same period of last
year.

 

Finally, Sudan's EBITDA recorded EGP 0.2 million in 9M 2021, down 86%
year-on-year with an EBITDA margin of 1% compared to 6% in 9M 2020. EBITDA for
the period was weighed down by the sharp SDG devaluation in February of this
year. In SDG terms EBITDA declined 38% year-on-year.

 

Regional EBITDA in Local Currency

(15) According to IAS 1, 10% of Egypt's net profit is allocated to direct
wages and salaries.

(16) Normalised EBITDA is calculated as operating profit plus depreciation and
amortization and minus one-off fees incurred in 9M 2021 related to the
Company's EGX listing completed in May 2021.

 

Interest Income / Expense

IDH recorded interest income of EGP 69 million in 9M 2021, up 56% year-on-year
on the back of higher cash balances during the period coupled with proper cash
allocation between T-bills and time deposits.

 

Interest expense recorded EGP 83 million in the 9M 2021, up 56% year-on-year.
The increase in attributable to:

·    Higher interest on lease liabilities related to IFRS 16 following the
addition of new branches and the renewal of medical equipment agreements with
our main equipment suppliers.

·    Higher bank charges resulting from increased penetration of, and
reliance on, POS machines and electronic payments in both Egypt and Jordan
during the period. It is important to note that bank charges recorded by IDH's
Jordanian operations represented 51% of total bank charges during 9M 2021,
which is mainly related to the newly launched partnership with QAIA.

·    Loan-related expenses incurred by IDH during the period as the
Company secured a new eight-year US$ 45 million facility with the
International Finance Corporation (IFC) in May 2021. During 9M 2021, IDH
booked loan-related expenses of EGP 14.6 million including a front-end fee,
syndication fee, and legal advisory fees.

 

Interest Expense Breakdown

 EGP Mn                                   9M 2020  9M 2021  Change
 Interest on Lease Liabilities (IFRS 16)  38.3     44.0     15%
 Interest Expenses on Borrowings(17)      9.9      7.0      -29%
 Loan-related Expenses on IFC facility    -        14.6     N/A
 Interest Expenses on Leases              3.0      4.8      62%
 Bank Charges                             1.9      12.5     549%
 Total Interest Expense                   53.1     82.9     56%

 

(17 )Interest expenses on medium-term loans divided as EGP 2.3 million related
to IDH's facility with the Commercial International Bank (CIB) and EGP 4.6
million related to IDH's facility with Ahli United Bank Egypt (AUBE).

 

Foreign Exchange

IDH recorded a net foreign exchange loss of EGP 18 million in 9M 2021 compared
to EGP 10 million in the same nine months of 2020. The figure largely reflects
FX losses on the back of the SDG devaluation versus the EGP in February 2021.

 

Taxation

Tax expenses recorded in the first nine months of 2021 were EGP 610 million
compared to EGP 182 million in the same period of last year. The effective tax
rate stood at 35% in the period versus 33% in 9M 2020, reflecting the change
in withholding tax on undistributed profits from 5% to 10% which came into
effect in Egypt in September of last year. It is important to note that there
is no tax payable for IDH's two companies at the holding level, while tax was
paid on profits generated by operating subsidiaries.

 

Net Profit

IDH's consolidated net profit recorded EGP 1,148 million in 9M 2021, an
impressive three-fold year-on-year increase. Improving net profitability was
supported by strong revenue growth coupled with the dilution of fixed costs,
higher interest income and normalising provisions for the nine-month period.
As such, net profit margin expanded eight percentage points year-on-year to
record 30% in 9M 2021.

 

ii.  Balance Sheet Analysis

Assets

Property, Plant and Equipment

IDH held gross property, plant and equipment (PPE) of EGP 1,569 million as at
30 September 2021, up from the EGP 1,256 million as of 31 December 2020.
Meanwhile, CAPEX outlays represented around 8% of consolidated revenues in 9M
2021. The increase in CAPEX outlays as a share of total revenue is partially
due to the EGP 149 million in equipment related to the SPA (Reagent deals) and
the EGP 48.7 million spent on a new radiology branch (CBP) during the period.

Total CAPEX Breakdown

 EGP Mn                         9M 2021  % of Revenue
 Mega Lab                       130.2    3.5%
 Al-Borg Scan Expansion         100.3    2.7%
 Leasehold Improvements/others  83.0     2.2%
 Total CAPEX Additions          313.5    8.3%

 

Accounts Receivable and Provisions

As at 30 September 2021, accounts receivables' Days on Hand (DOH) stood at 107
days compared to 144 days at year-end 2020, continuing to highlight a
sustained improvement in collections versus 2020. Accounts receivables' DOH is
calculated based on credit revenues amounting to EGP 967 million during 9M
2021.

 

The receivables balance in Egypt and Jordan stood at EGP 376 million as of 30
September 2021. More specifically, in Egypt account receivables' DOH declined
to 96 days as at 30 September 2021 compared to 145 days as at 31 December
2020. Accounts receivables' DOH for Egypt is calculated based on credit
revenues amounting to EGP 812 million during 9M 2021. Meanwhile, in Jordan
accounts receivables' DOH increased from 150 days to 172 days largely due to
recent agreements with various airline companies as part of QAIA and KHIA
agreements. Accounts receivables' DOH for Jordan is calculated based on credit
revenues amounting to EGP 144 million during 9M 2021.

Provision for doubtful accounts established during the nine months to 30
September 2021 amounted to EGP 18 million, down from the EGP 36 million booked
in the comparable nine-month period of last year.

Inventory

As at 30 September 2021, the Group's inventory balance reached EGP 190
million, up from EGP 100 million as at year-end 2020. Days Inventory
Outstanding (DIO) decreased to 59 days as at 30 September 2021 from 72 days as
at year-end 2020. The decline is mainly due to the high turnover of PCR
testing for Covid-19.

Cash and Net Debt/Cash

IDH's cash balances increased to EGP 1,807 million as at 30 September 2021
compared to EGP 877 million as at 31 December 2020.

 EGP million       31 Dec 2020  30 Sep 2021
 Time Deposits     162.4        366.5
 T-Bills           461.2        943.1
 Current Accounts  234.3        474.3
 Cash on Hand      19.0         22.7
 Total             876.8        1,806.7

 

Net cash balance(18) amounted to EGP 1,013 million as at 30 September 2021, an
increase of 215% compared to EGP 321 million as at 31 December 2020.

 EGP million                                      31 Dec 2020  30 Sep 2021
 Cash and Investments at Amortised Cost            876.8           1,806.7
 Interest Bearing Debt ("Medium Term Loans")(19)   96.5               103.4
 Lease Liabilities Property                        389.9              475.4
 Lease Liabilities Equipment                       69.1               215.2
 Net Cash Balance                                  321.3           1,012.8

 

Lease liabilities on property stood at EGP 475 million as at 30 September 2021
versus the EGP 390 million booked as at year-end 2020. The increase is
attributable to the addition of new branches during 9M 2021 including Al-Borg
Scan's third branch which came online at the start of October 2021. Meanwhile,
financial obligations related to equipment recorded EGP 215 million as at 30
September 2021, up from EGP 69 million as at year-end 2020. This increase
reflects the renewal of the Company's contracts and the addition of new
equipment. Finally, the increase partially reflects a rise in the interest
bearing debt related to IDH's two medium term facilities with Commercial
International Bank (CIB) and Ahli United Bank of Egypt (AUBE). More
specifically, IDH's interest bearing debt as at 30 September 2021 is split as
EGP 27.2 million related to its medium term facility with CIB and EGP 76.1
million to its facility with AUBE. It is worth noting that interest bearing
debt in both periods includes accrued interest.

(18) The net cash balance is calculated as cash and cash equivalent balances
less interest-bearing debt (medium term loans), finance lease and Right-of-use
liabilities.

(19 )IDH's interest bearing debt as at 30 September 2021 is split as EGP 27.2
million related to its medium term facility with the Commercial International
Bank (CIB) and EGP 76.1 million to its facility with Ahli United Bank Egypt
(AUBE).

Liabilities

Accounts Payable

As at 30 September 2021, accounts payable balance stood at EGP 292 million up
from EGP 178 million as at year-end 2020. However, the Group's days payable
outstanding (DPO) stood at 95 days as at 30 September 2021 down from 127 days
as year-end 2020. The decline primarily reflects the fact that PCR testing kit
suppliers are paid within a period of 15 days.

 

iii. Cash Flow Analysis

Net cash flow from operating activities recorded EGP 1,641 million in 9M 2021
compared to EGP 370 million in 9M 2020, continuing to display the Company's
strong cash generation ability.

                       775,995                282,267

 

The accounting policy for put options after initial recognition is to
recognise all changes in the carrying value of the put liability within equity
as all these transactions are with the non-controlling interests of the Group.

 

During the historic acquisitions of Makhbariyoun Al Arab (Biolabs) which took
place at 31 December 2011, the Group entered into separate put option
arrangements to purchase the remaining equity interests 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 are exercisable in
whole from the fifth anniversary of the completion of the original purchase
agreement, which fell due in September 2016. The vendor has not exercised this
right at 30 September 2021.

20.  Financial instruments

 

The Group has reviewed the financial assets and liabilities held at 30
September 2021. It has been deemed that the carrying amounts for all financial
instruments are a reasonable approximation of fair value. All financial
instruments are deemed Level 3.

 

Contingent liabilities

As required by article 134 of the labour law on Vocational Guidance and
Training issued by the Egyptian Government in 2003, Al Borg Laboratory Company
and Al Mokhtabar Company for Medical Labs are required to conform to the
requirements set out by that law to provide 1% of net profits each year into a
training fund. During the year, Integrated Diagnostics Holdings plc have taken
legal advice and considered market practice in Egypt relating to this and more
specifically whether the vocational training courses undertaken by Al Borg
Laboratory Company and Al Mokhtabar Company for Medical Labs suggest that
obligations have been satisfied through training programmes undertaken
in-house by those entities. Since the issue of the law on Vocational Guidance
and Training, Al Borg Laboratory Company and Al Mokhtabar Company for Medical
Labs have not been requested by the government to pay or have voluntarily paid
any amounts into the external training fund. The board of Integrated
Diagnostics Holdings plc have concluded that an outflow of funds is not
probable.

 

Should a claim be brought against Al Borg Laboratory Company and Al Mokhtabar
Company for Medical Labs, an amount of between EGP 19.5m to EGP 49 m could
become payable, however this is not considered probable.

decided to the following share split: The existing issued ordinary share
capital of 150,000,000 ordinary shares of US$1.00 each (the "Existing Ordinary
Shares") have been split into four new ordinary shares of US$0.25 each (the
"New Ordinary Shares"). The comparative figures have been updated.

 

 

 

 

 

23.  Segment reporting

 

The Group has four operating segments based on geographical location rather
than two operating segments based on service provided, as the Group's Chief
Operating Decision Maker (CODM) reviews the internal management reports and
KPIs of each geography.

 

The Group operates in four geographic areas, Egypt, Sudan, Jordan and Nigeria.
The revenue split between the four regions is set out below.
