• Mr. Sherif Fathy:

The tourism sector in Egypt is one of the most important economic sectors for the national economy. We greatly appreciate the efforts of the Ministry of Planning and Economic Development in highlighting the sector's economic contributions in a more detailed and accurate manner, reflecting the scale of its returns and economic impact.

• Dr. Ahmed Rostom:
The tourism sector is one of the most prominent sectors supporting growth, employment, and providing sources of foreign income for the country.

Mr. Sherif Fathy, Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, and Dr. Ahmed Rostom, Minister of Planning and Economic Development, held a coordination meeting at the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities headquarters in New Alamein City. The meeting aimed to discuss ways to enhance cooperation and coordination between the two ministries, to highlight and define the contributions of the tourism sector in Egypt to the national economy more accurately and comprehensively, and to strengthen the monitoring and measurement of its returns and direct and indirect impacts on the national economy. This is especially important given the state's focus on this vital sector, as it is one of the largest contributors to economic growth and has the capacity to generate direct and indirect job opportunities through related and supporting professions and industries.

Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, Mr. Sherif Fathy, affirmed that the tourism sector in Egypt is a vital component of the national economy, particularly due to its direct and indirect revenues and its interconnectedness with numerous other sectors, activities, and industries.

The Minister expressed his appreciation for the ongoing efforts of the Ministry of Planning and Economic Development to highlight the sector's contributions to the national economy in greater detail and with greater precision, reflecting the scale of its returns and economic impact. He emphasized the importance of continued coordination and cooperation between the two ministries to maximize the utilization of the tourism sector's potential and ensure alignment of its objectives with the state's economic development plans. This includes identifying investment needs and the infrastructure requirements necessary to support the sector's targeted growth.

He discussed the Egyptian government's objectives for the tourism sector, aiming to attract 30 million tourists by 2030. This will lead to increased tourism revenues and a greater contribution to the national economy. He noted that achieving this goal requires integrated efforts and continuous coordination among various ministries and relevant entities, as well as working to provide a supportive environment for the sector's growth and its sustainability. During the meeting, the Minister reviewed the key features of the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities' current strategy, which focuses on highlighting the unparalleled diversity of Egypt's tourism offerings. This strategy is based on six main pillars: enhancing the competitiveness of tourism investment, diversifying tourism products, developing human resources, strengthening monitoring and governance mechanisms, improving the visitor experience, promoting sustainability initiatives and driving digital and environmental transformation, and implementing effective tourism marketing policies.

For his part, Dr. Ahmed Rostom emphasized that the tourism sector is one of the most significant contributors to economic growth and a major source of foreign currency for the country, providing direct and indirect employment opportunities for Egyptian youth.

The Minister of Planning and Economic Development noted that the tourism sector is witnessing successive leaps forward with the opening of more archaeological sites, most notably the Grand Egyptian Museum, the development of Egypt's transportation infrastructure, and the increase in the number of airports. This reinforces the state's efforts to increase the number of inbound tourists, thereby further supporting the sector's contribution to economic activity. Dr. Ahmed Rostom stressed that the tourism sector is linked to many supporting industries and jobs, and therefore the increase in the growth and activity of the sector is reflected in the growth of the national economy, and enhances efforts to provide job opportunities and achieve comprehensive development, stressing the continuation of coordination between the Ministries of Planning and Economic Development and Tourism and Antiquities to develop policies for the development of the sector and its targets during the coming period.

Fawry, the leading fintech company in Egypt, in collaboration with Creative Digital Solutions (CDS), an Odoo Gold Certified Partner, announced the launch of a direct integration between Fawry Business's Tap N Pay application and the Odoo business management system. This move aims to enhance the digital payments and business management ecosystem by providing a seamless operational experience that connects sales, payments, and accounts within a unified platform, thereby increasing business efficiency and accelerating operational processes.

The new solution leverages SoftPOS technology, enabling merchants to accept contactless payments using bank cards and e-wallets directly via NFC-enabled smartphones and tablets, eliminating the need for traditional point-of-sale (POS) terminals.

All payments processed through Tap N Pay are automatically transferred to the Odoo system, where they are automatically matched with sales orders, invoices, and accounting entries. This minimizes manual intervention and enhances data accuracy and financial settlement speed. Through this integration, merchants will be able to transform any smart device into a fully integrated point of sale, with payments recorded and settled instantly within the business management system. This reduces data re-entry and human error, and provides a unified source for managing sales, payments, and accounts, thereby increasing operational efficiency and giving businesses a clearer view of their operations.

Commenting on this, Bassem Lotfy, Head of Business Development at Fawry, stated: “At Fawry, we are committed to investing in developing innovative digital payment solutions that meet the needs of various sectors. Simultaneously, we continuously expand our services through strategic partnerships that simplify operational processes and enable companies to rely on more efficient and flexible systems. This integration represents a new step towards strengthening the digital payments ecosystem in the Egyptian market by providing a seamless experience that connects sales, business management, and payments on a single platform.”

Meanwhile, Eng. Ramadan Khalil, CEO of Solutions CDS, said: “This integration supports the vision of the Central Bank of Egypt and helps companies unify sales, payments, and accounts to increase efficiency and enhance the customer experience.” He added, "This solution represents an extension of the partnership between CDS and Fawry to develop smart solutions that meet the needs of the Egyptian market and contribute to building a more flexible, efficient, and scalable payment system."

The new solution targets companies operating in the Egyptian market across various sectors, particularly retail, wholesale, food and beverage, and manufacturing. It helps them improve the efficiency of their point-of-sale systems, reduce operational procedures and errors, and enhance data accuracy and financial settlements. This launch also supports the Central Bank of Egypt's efforts to develop the national infrastructure for digital payments and expand SoftPOS applications on smartphones and tablets, contributing to increased financial inclusion, supporting the transition to a less cash-dependent society, and achieving the goals of Egypt's Vision 2030.

With this, Fawry continues to solidify its position as a key partner in supporting digital transformation and developing the electronic payments system in Egypt by providing innovative financial solutions and strategic partnerships that empower companies to adopt the latest digital technologies in line with the objectives of Egypt's Vision 2030.

Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly began an extensive tour to inaugurate and inspect several development and service projects underway in Matrouh Governorate. The tour also included a review of the latest progress on the Alam Al-Roum development project.



Madbouly highlighted the government’s significant attention to Matrouh in recent years, reflected in the implementation of numerous projects aimed at improving residents’ quality of life and creating employment opportunities across the governorate.



He said the projects seek to achieve integrated urban development through new cities, ports, modern road networks, seawater desalination plants, drinking water and sanitation facilities, as well as the construction, renovation, and upgrading of healthcare facilities and electricity infrastructure.



The projects also include the first line of Egypt’s high-speed electric rail network, connecting Ain Sokhna, Alamein, and Matrouh, which is scheduled to begin trial operations in September 2026.



Madbouly said the field tour would cover a diverse range of service and development projects designed to improve the quality of life in Matrouh, alongside an assessment of the latest developments in the Alam Al-Roum project.



He emphasized the importance of the project, describing it as a major investment partnership between Egypt and Qatari Diar. The development aims to establish a new economic and urban hub on the North Coast as part of the government’s plans to maximize the use of coastal land and create well-planned tourism and urban communities.



Madbouly stressed that Alam Al-Roum is being developed as a fully integrated, world-class city that will operate throughout the year, rather than as a seasonal tourist resort, in line with Egypt’s plans to achieve comprehensive development in the promising region.

Business Today-

Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly witnessed the launch of the first phase of Qatari Diar’s Alam Al-Roum project in Matrouh, with investments estimated at EGP 220 billion and around 30,000 direct and indirect jobs expected to be created.



The first phase will span four million square metres, with a total built-up area of 1.4 million square metres. It will feature a two-kilometre beach and promenade, natural lagoons connected to the sea, and 195,000 square metres of artificial swimmable lagoons.



Open spaces will account for around 85% of the phase, which will also include a city-centre marina with 50 yacht berths, four hotels offering more than 1,000 rooms, sports centres, retail outlets and international restaurants. Delivery is scheduled to begin in 2030.



The first phase forms part of the wider $29.7 billion Alam Al-Roum development, including $3.5 billion in direct cash investment, which Qatari Diar is implementing in partnership with the Egyptian government.



Madbouly and his accompanying delegation were received by Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities Minister Randa El-Manshawy, Qatari Diar CEO Hamad bin Talal Al Thani, and senior officials from the ministry and the company.



The prime minister reaffirmed the government’s commitment to accelerating comprehensive development across the Northwestern Coast, leveraging the region’s competitive advantages to attract local and foreign investment.



He said the launch of the first phase represents a significant step in the region’s urban and investment development and supports efforts to strengthen the North Coast’s position as a leading tourism and investment destination on the Mediterranean.



El-Manshawy said the implementation of large-scale projects along the North Coast reflects Egypt’s success in establishing an attractive urban and investment environment through infrastructure development and upgrades to roads and utilities.



She added that the project would support the Egyptian economy, create opportunities for construction companies and related industries, and increase private-sector participation in urban and tourism development.



The overall Alam Al-Roum project will cover 20.58 million square metres and feature a 7.2-kilometre Mediterranean waterfront. It is planned as an integrated coastal city combining residential, tourism, commercial, cultural, entertainment, educational and healthcare facilities.



The master plan includes 22 kilometres of lagoons connected directly to the sea, 850,000 square metres of artificial swimmable lagoons, an international marina with 370 yacht berths and a local marina with another 120 berths.



It will also feature an 18-hole international golf course covering nearly 980,000 square metres, as well as more than 3,500 hotel rooms across a collection of international hotels and resorts.



The development is expected to generate more than 250,000 direct and indirect jobs upon completion and create significant opportunities for Egyptian and international construction companies.



Qatari Diar CEO Hamad bin Talal Al Thani described Alam Al-Roum as one of the company’s largest integrated urban and tourism projects worldwide and its biggest development in Egypt.



He said the city would be designed around walkability, with integrated pedestrian and cycling routes, smart mobility solutions and advanced sustainability standards covering water management, biodiversity protection and climate resilience.



The project will benefit from its proximity to Ras El-Hekma and Marsa Matrouh airports, as well as its connections to the International Coastal Road and Egypt’s high-speed electric rail network.



Al Thani reaffirmed Qatari Diar’s commitment to beginning delivery of the first phase in 2030, supported by Egypt’s stable investment environment and long-term partnerships.

Harbour Energy, an independent energy company, generated $6.4 billion in revenue during the six months ending June 30, representing a 20% increase compared to the same period of 2025.

This was mainly driven by record production resulting from strong operational execution and higher oil and European natural gas prices, according to the company’s press release on August 6.

The company’s earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortization, and exploration expenses (EBITDAX) rose to $4.4 billion in the first half (H1) of 2026, compared to $3.9 billion in H1 2025.

Harbour Energy also recorded a rise in adjusted profit after tax amounting to $562 million in H1 2026, up from $410 million in H1 2025.

“In a volatile macro environment, we remain focused on executing our strategy: sustaining our production, strengthening our portfolio, ensuring financial resilience and delivering competitive shareholder returns,” said Linda Z Cook, CEO of Harbour Energy.

Harbour continued to manage commodity price volatility through hedging. During H1, the company realized post-hedge prices of $84 per barrel for crude oil and $14.4 per thousand standard cubic feet (mscf) for European gas, compared with pre-hedge realized prices of $90 per barrel and $15.0/mscf, respectively.

It also secured additional commodity hedges, primarily through zero-cost collars covering European gas production for the second half of 2026 and the full year 2027.

On the operational front, Harbour continued advancing developments across its portfolio. In Egypt, Harbour Energy commenced development of the Fayoum-Messinian gas field, utilizing existing West Nile Delta infrastructure, with first gas targeted before the end of 2026.

In addition, the company appraised the EZZ-2 discovery in the Disouq Area onshore the Nile Delta and accelerated its production start-up into August 2026.

The Group’s total production reached a record 509,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) in H1 2026, up 4 % from 488,000 boe/d in H1 2025. Production comprised about 40% liquids, 40% European natural gas, and 20% international natural gas. Full-year global production guidance was upgraded to between 490,000 and 500,000 boe/d.

Internationally, the company progressed projects in Norway, the UK, the US Gulf of America, Argentina, and Mexico. It also completed the acquisition of LLOG Exploration Company LLC in the US as well as Waldorf in the UK, and the divestment of non-core assets in Indonesia.

Looking ahead, the company raised its 2026 free cash flow outlook to $1.8 billion, while accelerating shareholder returns through a newly announced $250 million share buyback.

Egypt has taken the first steps toward implementing a recently signed memorandum of understanding (MoU) with ExxonMobil and QatarEnergy to study connecting the companies’ gas fields offshore Cyprus to Egypt’s natural gas infrastructure for re-export, the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources (MoPMR) said on August 6.

The implementation roadmap was discussed during a meeting in New Alamein between Karim Badawi, Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, Kenan Nariman, Vice President of ExxonMobil LNG Market Development, and Diaa Soheil, Vice President and Venture Operations Manager at ExxonMobil Egypt Upstream Limited, and senior company executives.

The MoU signed by Egypt, ExxonMobil, and QatarEnergy is intended to evaluate the development and commercialization of ExxonMobil’s Cypriot fields, Glaucus and Pegasus in Block 10, by transporting their gas to Egypt’s existing processing and LNG export infrastructure.

Badawi described the meeting as the first executive step following the signing of the agreement, noting that both sides agreed to swiftly launch joint technical committees and establish implementation programs and clear timelines for technical, commercial, and regulatory studies.

Badawi said the planned connection of Cyprus’ gas discoveries to Egypt’s infrastructure builds on a series of regional cooperation initiatives, beginning with the Cronos project in partnership with Eni and TotalEnergies, followed by the Aphrodite project with Chevron, and now the collaboration with ExxonMobil and QatarEnergy. He said the projects collectively represent a model for regional integration that strengthens energy security across the Eastern Mediterranean.

Gas from the Cronos field will be transported to Egypt for processing, liquefaction, and re-export through its LNG facilities, while gas from Aphrodite will be supplied to Egypt under a 15-year agreement (extendable by five years), with Egypt receiving, processing, and exporting the gas via its existing infrastructure.

At the conclusion of the meeting, Badawi invited ExxonMobil’s leadership to participate in the Mediterranean Offshore Conference (MOC), scheduled for October, to showcase Egypt’s LNG infrastructure and explore additional investment and cooperation opportunities.

In late May, Egypt’s Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, ExxonMobil, and QatarEnergy signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to assess linking the partners’ offshore Cyprus gas discoveries to Egypt’s natural gas infrastructure.

South Valley Egyptian Petroleum Holding Company (Ganope) organized an awareness session for its leaders and affiliated companies to strengthen crisis preparedness and improve responses to emergency situations, according to a company statement.

Held under the sponsorship of Samir Raslan, Chairman of Ganope, the session was titled “Crisis Management and Risk Reduction, Towards Institutional Readiness and Effective Crisis Response.” The event forms part of the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources’ efforts to develop the sector’s workforce and strengthen awareness of risk prevention and crisis management.

Sameh Samir El-Sayed, senior assistant at the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources’ General Secretariat, discussed recent approaches to crisis management and risk reduction. He highlighted the importance of early preparation and proactive planning in helping organizations respond effectively to emergencies.

The session also covered systematic crisis response, rapid decision-making, and the allocation of roles and responsibilities. Discussions addressed communication and coordination among relevant parties, alongside the role of training in preparing teams for different emergency scenarios.

Moreover, participants stressed the need to integrate prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery measures to reduce risks, protect lives and property, and maintain business continuity.

The session comes as the ministry works to strengthen safety and preparedness across petroleum companies and develop human resources as a key part of improving operational performance.

Recent safety activities across Egypt’s petroleum sector have included practical tests of emergency readiness. In July 2026, Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) CEO Salah Abdel Kerim conducted a surprise inspection at Misr Petroleum Company’s Mansoura depot, where a simulated fire drill tested firefighting equipment and emergency teams’ response.

Earlier, in December 2025, Middle East Oil Refinery Company (MIDOR) conducted a Level 3 simulated fire drill at its Alexandria refinery to test its emergency response and crisis management systems. The exercise supported efforts to strengthen health, safety, and environment (HSE) practices across the petroleum sector.

Karim Badawi, Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources and Ahmed Rostom, Minister of Planning and Economic Development, met to discuss plans to boost oil and natural gas production and curb petroleum imports.

As part of the government’s FY2026/27 development plan, the two ministers reviewed investment and production priorities for the energy sector in the new fiscal year, according to a statement by the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources (MoPMR)

Badawi said the ministry will focus on increasing oil and gas output, attracting new investment, reducing the petroleum product import bill and expanding local value-added activities while meeting domestic energy needs.

The ministry also plans to spend $4.5 bn on refinery development to increase local production and reduce reliance on imports. Another part of the plan involves receiving natural gas from Cyprus and re-exporting it to international markets through Egypt.

Also, Rostom highlighted the role of regular payments of dues to foreign petroleum partners in supporting new investment. He said the payments have helped create conditions for more exploration and production spending by international companies and private-sector investors.

Rostom stressed the importance of energy security as geopolitical tensions continue to affect the region and global markets. Furthermore, he described the petroleum and energy sector as a key support for economic activity and part of Egypt’s national security.

The meeting comes after Egypt’s petroleum sector returned to growth in Q3 FY2025/26. In June 2026, Rostom said the sector grew 0.7%, its first positive rate since Q1 FY2023/24, driven by higher domestic production of crude oil, condensates and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

Vaalco Energy, an American independent oil and gas company, reported 30% increase in oil sales from its Egyptian operations during the second quarter (Q2) of 2026 compared to the previous quarter, generating $86.4 million. The increased sales were reflected in an 11% increase in net profit from the Egyptian operation over the same period, to $43.4 million, according to a statement by Vaalco.

Vaalco’s Egyptian production averaged 11,282 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d) on a working-interest basis during Q2, compared with 11,264 boe/d in Q1 of 2026, and 10,929 boe/d a year earlier. On a net revenue interest (NRI) basis, Egypt’s production averaged 7,389 boe/d, compared to 7,644 boe/d in Q1 of 2026, and 7,612 in Q2 of 2025.

The company began drilling the HE-9 development well located in the Gulf of Suez in May, completed it in early June, and subsequently drilled two additional development wells, both of which were completed in July.

According to the statement, Vaalco is continuing its drilling program in Egypt in Q3 2026, alongside workovers, well interventions, well reactivations, water shut-off treatments, and production optimization activities.

Vaalco reduced its trade receivables in Egypt from $31.6 million at the end of 2025 to $12.9 million by June 30, 2026. Egypt fully cleared its $6.1 billion backlog of overdue debts to international oil companies (IOCs) in June 2026 after paying it down via regular monthly schedules over two years. Currently, the government is committed to repaying foreign partner dues every month.

Vaalco as a whole reported net profit of $42.4 million in Q2 of 2026, compared with $13.2 million in Q2 2025, supported by higher sales, stronger realized prices, hedging gains, and lower exploration expenses.

The company’s average commodity price increased to $80.77/boe in Q2, compared with $57.21/boe in Q1 and $54.87/boe a year earlier.

Commenting on the company’s performance, Vaalco CEO George Maxwell said, “In Q2 2026, we had strong sales volumes and increased realized pricing while we continued to positively progress our asset campaigns in Côte d’Ivoire, Gabon and Egypt. This drove improved earnings of $42.4 million or $0.39 per diluted share and $54.8 million in Adjusted EBITDAX.”

Vaalco’s total sales volumes increased 48% quarter-on-quarter (QoQ), a hike primarily attributable to the timing of liftings, the loading and sale of produced crude in Gabon, alongside increased Egyptian sales.

Vaalco Energy’s Q2 capital expenditures totaled $103.6 million, covering Egyptian and Gabon drilling and Baobab FPSO works in Côte d’Ivoire.

Out of Egypt, the company had an eventful quarter; it advanced drilling and production in Gabon during the quarter, bringing the Ebouri‑5H well online in June and continuing work at the SEENT platform. In Côte d’Ivoire, output from the Baobab field resumed in June after FPSO refurbishment, with first crude lifting slated for August and a new drilling campaign set for September.

The company also progressed development of the Kossipo field, where it holds a 60% working interest. In Equatorial Guinea, Vaalco is moving ahead with plans for the Venus discovery and targets a final investment decision in Q4 2026.

Vaalco, founded in 1985, holds a diverse portfolio of production, development and exploration assets across Gabon, Egypt, Côte d’Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea and Nigeria.

Under the PPA model, AlexFert will benefit from clean, reliable, and competitively priced electricity without any upfront capital investment, while SolarizEgypt will finance, develop, own, operate, and maintain the solar power plant throughout the agreement’s duration, noted a statement by AlexFert.

SolarizEgypt is an Egyptian renewable energy company that develops and operates solar power projects through PPAs, Its main projects in Egypt include solar plants at El Gouna Touristic City, El Montazah Water Desalination and Treatment Plant, and Coca-Cola facilities.

The project is expected to provide AlexFert with approximately 1.58 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of clean electricity annually, reducing its electricity consumption from the national grid by around 4.2%. It is also expected to avoid approximately 718 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions annually, equivalent to an estimated 21,528 metric tons over the 30-year agreement.

Alaa El Banna, Chairman of AlexFert, said the agreement represents a practical step in the company’s strategy to improve the sustainability and efficiency of its industrial operations. Meanwhile ,Jon Rokk, CEO of Valmore Holding, said the agreement reflects the holding company’s approach to supporting its portfolio companies in developing more efficient, resilient, and sustainable operations.

AlexFert’s commitment to cleaner production wasunderscored by its recent memorandum of understanding with United Energy Group (UEG) to explore a green ammonia project powered by green hydrogen and renewable energy. The initiative aims to shift away from conventional, fossil‑fuel‑based ammonia output toward more sustainable methods.

Established in 2003, AlexFert is a fertilizer manufacturer based in Alexandria. The company produces anhydrous ammonia as an intermediate product, as well as granular urea and ammonium sulphate. Its manufacturing facility covers approximately 110,000 square meters.

Al Ahly Sabbour has unveiled YOUD Al Bahr, the newest phase of its YOUD development in Ras El Hekma, introducing premium first-row beachfront serviced chalets with direct sea and lagoon views, while also offering a limited selection of ready-to-move residences as demand for Egypt’s North Coast continues to grow.

The launch builds on the success of the YOUD project, which has witnessed significant construction progress since its inception. According to the company, nearly 600 residences have already been delivered, while more than 700 additional units are currently under construction. It added that more than 50 families are expected to receive their homes this August, almost three years ahead of the original delivery schedule.

Alongside the new phase, Al Ahly Sabbour has introduced its seasonal “Your Down Payment is Your Discount” campaign, allowing buyers to receive a discount equivalent to the value of their down payment, with savings reaching up to 50% of the property’s value. The company said the down payment can also be spread over three months, providing buyers with greater financial flexibility.

The newly launched YOUD Al Bahr features premium first-row serviced chalets designed around a “Double View” concept that combines direct sea and lagoon views. The development includes one- and two-bedroom chalets ranging from 35 to 86 square metres within low-rise (G+3) buildings, supported by hotel-style services and professional property management aimed at enhancing both the ownership experience and long-term rental potential.

The company said the concept expands beachfront ownership opportunities beyond traditional standalone villas by making first-row coastal living accessible to a wider range of buyers.

In parallel with the new launch, Al Ahly Sabbour is offering a limited collection of ready-to-move residences within the existing YOUD development. The available homes include one-, two-, and three-bedroom chalets ranging from 57 to 120 square metres, with prices starting from EGP 6 million.

The company is offering payment plans extending up to eight years, in addition to a 15% cash discount, allowing buyers to move into completed homes immediately while benefiting from the project’s ongoing development and gradually expanding services and amenities.

Located at kilometre 187 in Ras El Hekma, YOUD extends across 164 feddans and features approximately 1,050 metres of beachfront. Al Ahly Sabbour said the project’s master plan takes advantage of the site’s naturally terraced six-level topography and distinctive inverted triangular shape, enabling approximately 87% of residences to enjoy direct sea views while maintaining low-density development and privacy.

The company noted that the site’s unusually wide frontage facing the Mediterranean allowed nearly 50 feddans to remain as open, non-buildable beachfront, creating expansive coastal views across much of the community. The development also incorporates an extensive network of lagoons and landscaped green spaces designed to maximise waterfront views throughout the project.

YOUD offers a mix of chalets, beach houses, twin houses and standalone villas, in addition to a hotel, commercial district and leisure facilities as part of its integrated resort concept.

Al Ahly Sabbour said the combination of proven delivery performance, ready-to-move homes, flexible ownership solutions and the launch of YOUD Al Bahr positions the development to meet growing demand for premium coastal residences in Ras El Hekma, which continues to attract increasing investment and tourism activity.

The company added that the latest launch will be available for a limited period, offering buyers an opportunity to acquire beachfront property in one of Egypt’s fastest-growing coastal destinations.

Egypt’s financial inclusion rate continued to rise, reaching 79% in June 2026, with 56.4 million citizens owning active accounts that enable them to perform financial transactions, out of a total of 71.4 million citizens aged 15 and above. The progress reflects the sustained efforts of the Central Bank of Egypt (CBE) and the wider financial sector to promote financial inclusion and expand access to financial services across all segments of society.

Active financial accounts include bank accounts, postal accounts, mobile wallets, and prepaid cards. Women’s financial inclusion rate increased significantly from 19.1% in 2016 to 72.5% in June 2026, representing growth of 327% over the period. Likewise, the financial inclusion rate among youth aged 15 to 35 rose from 36.3% in 2020 to 58% in June 2026, marking growth of 85%. These gains were driven by targeted programmes and initiatives designed to enhance the economic empowerment of women and young people while integrating underserved groups into the formal financial system.

The CBE said these achievements demonstrate the success of the National Financial Inclusion Strategy (2022–2025) in meeting its objectives and supporting sustainable economic growth across all segments of society. The strategy was developed and implemented in coordination with relevant ministries and authorities. The progress is also reflected in the core indicators issued by the CBE’s Financial Inclusion Datahub, which showed substantial growth in both the ownership and use of financial services, with financial inclusion expanding by 229% between 2016 and June 2026.
The results also reflect ongoing cooperation with relevant ministries and government entities in implementing a range of projects and initiatives. Among the most prominent are the presidential “Decent Life” (Haya Karima) initiative, the “Transforming the Livelihoods of Smallholder Farmers” project, and programmes targeting women and youth, implemented in cooperation with the Ministry of Youth and Sports and the National Council for Women.

As part of the CBE’s evidence-based approach to achieving its strategic objectives, the Second National Financial Inclusion Strategy (2026–2030) is currently being developed in collaboration with relevant ministries and authorities. The new strategy adopts a comprehensive approach that goes beyond expanding access to financial services by promoting their effective, secure, and sustainable use. It also seeks to support businesses and entrepreneurs while accelerating the integration of the informal economy into the formal sector.

The strategy is being developed using a comprehensive methodology for measuring financial inclusion from both the supply and demand sides, strengthening its three core dimensions: access, usage, and quality of financial services. It also draws on the findings of a financial services demand-side survey conducted during the first quarter of 2026 with technical assistance from the World Bank (WB) and the International Finance Corporation (IFC), and implemented in cooperation with the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS). The survey aims to identify existing gaps and barriers to the effective use of financial services and support the development of evidence-based policies.

The strategy also aims to expand the use of financial services and products by advancing digital solutions and innovation, supporting the transition to a green economy through sustainable finance instruments, and raising financial awareness through financial education and literacy programmes. In addition, it seeks to strengthen confidence in the financial sector by enhancing consumer protection, supporting the growth and sustainability of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and entrepreneurs, fostering public-private partnerships, and further developing Egypt’s financial and technological infrastructure.

Egypt’s Ministry of Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities is continuing to offer a wide range of investment opportunities in new cities through the New Urban Communities Authority’s (NUCA) digital platforms for local and foreign investors, as part of efforts to attract private-sector investment and maximise the utilisation of state-owned assets.

The investment opportunities are made available from the first to the 15th of each month through NUCA’s Egyptian and foreign investment platforms in both local and foreign currencies, according to the ministry.

Housing Minister Randa El-Menshawy said the offerings form part of the state’s strategy to achieve sustainable urban development and increase private-sector participation in development projects, in line with the objectives of Egypt Vision 2030.

She added that Egypt’s new cities are witnessing strong momentum in investment and urban development, making them a key driver of economic growth. The government, she said, will continue to offer new investment opportunities to support urban expansion and attract additional domestic and foreign capital.

El-Menshawy noted that many of the investment sites are strategically located along major roads, regional highways, and in high-density urban areas, based on approved planning studies. These locations are expected to enhance the commercial viability of projects and maximise their investment potential.

Walid Abbas, Deputy Minister of Housing for New Urban Communities, said NUCA is offering nearly 99 investment opportunities to Egyptian companies through its Investor Services Portal as of 15 August.

The opportunities, priced in Egyptian pounds, cover a wide range of land areas, from 500 square metres for small and medium-sized projects to more than 39 feddans for large-scale developments, with multiple permitted land uses.

Abbas added that the authority received around 204 applications from foreign companies through its foreign investment platform during August 2026.

The investment opportunities cover more than 15 sectors, including commercial, administrative, medical, educational, sports, entertainment, hospitality, tourism, logistics, and service activities, in addition to mixed-use developments.

The sites are distributed across several new cities, including New Cairo, New Damietta, New Salhia, Obour, New Obour, Badr, 15th of May, and New Qena, as well as other new cities across Upper Egypt and the rest of the country.

The ministry said the offerings are intended to expand the private sector’s role in implementing urban development projects, particularly as the government continues to invest heavily in infrastructure, roads, utilities, and public services across Egypt’s new cities.

Ahmed Ibrahim, NUCA’s Vice President for Planning and Projects, said the authority is also continuing to upgrade its digital investment platform as part of the ministry’s broader digital transformation strategy.

He explained that the system digitises the entire investment process, from announcing available opportunities and uploading maps, technical data, and supporting documents to submitting and tracking applications electronically, followed by evaluation, review, and final decision-making.

According to Ibrahim, the digital platform is designed to reduce reliance on paper-based procedures, shorten processing times, and improve the quality and efficiency of services provided to investors.

He added that NUCA is also working to standardise investment procedures across all new-city authorities, apply unified evaluation criteria for investment applications, and maintain comprehensive digital records throughout every stage of the investment process.

Egypt is stepping up efforts to attract new Indian industrial investments and expand the presence of Indian companies in its manufacturing sector, with a focus on technology transfer, increasing local content, developing domestic supply chains, and positioning Egypt as a production and export hub for African and Middle Eastern markets.

Industry Minister Khaled Hashem made the remarks during a meeting with representatives of major Indian companies and members of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) in Jaipur, following his participation in the BRICS Industry Ministers’ Meeting.

The meeting was attended by Investment and Foreign Trade Minister Mohamed Farid, Egypt’s Ambassador to India Kamel Galal, Assistant Minister of Industry for International Cooperation Ahmed Moghrawy, and representatives of Egyptian companies operating in the leather, packaging, food, and chemical industries.

Hashem said the strong political relations between Egypt and India provide a solid foundation for expanding economic cooperation, noting that the current level of bilateral investments and industrial partnerships remains below the two countries’ potential.

He added that Egypt is seeking to move bilateral economic relations beyond trade by encouraging Indian companies to establish manufacturing facilities in the country, transfer technology, strengthen local supply chains, and use Egypt as a regional production and export base.

The minister stressed that the private sector should lead this expansion, while the government will continue to facilitate investment, address regulatory and operational challenges, connect Indian companies with Egyptian partners, and provide information on industrial land, energy availability, and investment opportunities.



Indian companies explore investment opportunities

The meeting brought together representatives of TCI Sanmar, SVC Industries, Ocior, Sterlite, ITC, and Reliance Industries to discuss potential investments and expansion opportunities across several strategic sectors.

Hashem highlighted the success of existing Indian investments in Egypt, particularly TCI Sanmar’s operations in the chemicals industry, as a model demonstrating the potential for Indian manufacturers to serve both the domestic market and export destinations from Egypt.

Discussions covered prospective projects in food processing, strategic grain storage, consumer goods, infrastructure, energy, and industrial services.

The two sides also explored opportunities related to Ocior’s green hydrogen and green ammonia projects, as well as potential cooperation with Sterlite in electricity transmission networks and related energy infrastructure.

Hashem noted that such partnerships could support Egypt’s plans to expand renewable energy generation and strengthen electricity transmission links between new power-generation projects and industrial zones.

The meeting also examined opportunities to develop integrated agricultural, food-processing, storage, and logistics projects, including potential cooperation with companies such as ITC and SVC Industries.

Potential investments by Reliance Industries were also discussed, particularly in food industries and consumer goods, with the possibility of expanding cooperation into the energy, petrochemicals, and industrial materials sectors.



Egypt establishes follow-up mechanism for Indian investments

Hashem said the Ministry of Industry will establish a project-specific follow-up mechanism to monitor the investment opportunities discussed during the meeting by identifying each project’s requirements, the responsible government authority, the actions needed, and a clear implementation timeline.

He said the mechanism is intended to accelerate investment decisions and help move projects from preliminary discussions to implementation.

The ministry will also continue working with Indian companies already operating in Egypt to identify expansion opportunities and increase local value added. At the same time, companies considering entering the Egyptian market will receive support in identifying suitable investment opportunities, industrial locations, local partners, and appropriate investment structures.

Hashem added that Egypt will continue coordinating with the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) and the Egyptian-Indian Business Council to identify additional Indian companies, organise sector-specific business meetings, and connect prospective investors with Egyptian manufacturers and suppliers.

He noted that the success of these efforts will be measured by the number of investments that move into implementation, the expansion of existing Indian companies, the transfer of technology to Egypt, growth in local content, and the export potential generated by new industrial projects.

The minister said Egypt’s objective is to move beyond a traditional trade relationship and build integrated investment, manufacturing, and supply chain networks that combine Indian industrial and technological capabilities with Egypt’s manufacturing base and strategic access to regional and international markets.

Egypt’s presidential women’s health initiative has recorded more than 71.3 million visits for screening, follow-up care, and health awareness services since its launch in July 2019, the Ministry of Health and Population announced.

Ministry spokesperson Hossam Abdel Ghaffar said the total included approximately 23.5 million first-time visits, 34.1 million periodic follow-up visits, and 13.8 million other visits.

The initiative, launched under the presidential “100 Million Healthy Lives” campaign, targets women aged 18 and above, with a particular focus on the early detection of breast cancer. It also provides screening for non-communicable diseases, including diabetes and hypertension, measures body mass index (BMI), and offers health education on reproductive health, family planning, and lifestyle-related risk factors.

According to the ministry, 936,669 women have been referred to hospitals for advanced examinations. Screening and awareness services are provided free of charge through 3,663 healthcare units nationwide, while 102 hospitals receive cases requiring further diagnostic tests.

Hatem Amin, Executive Director of the initiative, said the programme has detected 39,488 cases of breast cancer since its launch. It has also conducted 525,126 mammograms and collected 60,657 tumour samples for pathological analysis, with confirmed patients receiving treatment free of charge.

The ministry added that mobile medical units have examined 162,407 women at primary healthcare facilities and carried out 65,007 diagnostic imaging examinations.

Breast cancer treatment is currently provided through 14 Ministry of Health centres and another 14 centres affiliated with the Supreme Council of University Hospitals. More than 30,000 doctors, nurses, radiology technicians, and pathology specialists have also received specialised training under the initiative.

The ministry encouraged women to undergo regular screening, stressing that early detection of breast cancer significantly improves treatment outcomes while reducing the burden on patients and the healthcare system.

Separately, the Ministry of Health and Population said more than 10.1 million children have undergone hearing screening under the presidential initiative for the early detection and treatment of hearing impairment in newborns since the programme was launched in September 2019.

According to the ministry, 71,577 children were referred for a second confirmatory hearing test after their initial screening. It noted that not passing the second test does not necessarily indicate hearing loss but signals the need for more comprehensive assessment.

The programme has provided cochlear implants to 3,318 children, fitted 13,567 children with hearing aids, and provided medication to 25,728 children.

The ministry added that the number of specialist referral hospitals and centres participating in the initiative has increased from 30 to 34, while newborn hearing screening services are now available through 3,825 healthcare units nationwide.

Screening is offered from birth until 28 days of age. The ministry said nursing teams have been trained to use otoacoustic emission (OAE) testing devices, while dedicated data-entry teams electronically register newborn information to build comprehensive digital health records.

The ministry also noted that hearing screening has been incorporated into official birth records as part of efforts to identify hearing impairment at an early stage and provide timely treatment before it affects children’s speech, language, and cognitive development.

Planning and Economic Development Minister Ahmed Rostom met with Petroleum and Mineral Resources Minister Karim Badawi to discuss the future strategy for Egypt’s petroleum and energy sector as the government begins implementing its FY2026/27 economic and social development plan and intensifies efforts to strengthen the country’s energy security.

Rostom praised the government’s efforts to boost investment in the petroleum and energy sector, highlighting the settlement of arrears owed to foreign partners, which he said has helped attract new investments and contributed to shifting the sector’s growth rate from contraction to positive growth.

He said the petroleum and energy sector underpins economic activity across the country and represents a key pillar of Egypt’s national security. As a result, the government has prioritised developing the sector’s infrastructure, expanding partnerships with the private sector, and settling outstanding dues to foreign partners to encourage further exploration and increase production.

Rostom stressed that securing stable energy supplies remains a national priority, particularly in light of heightened geopolitical tensions at both the regional and international levels in recent years.

Badawi said the Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources is pursuing a strategy focused on sustainably increasing oil and natural gas production, attracting additional investment, reducing Egypt’s petroleum import bill, increasing value added, and ensuring the country’s domestic energy needs are met.
He noted that the government’s commitment to making regular payments to investment partners has created a more attractive environment for international energy companies and private-sector investors to expand exploration and production activities.

Badawi added that the ministry plans to implement refinery development projects worth approximately $4.5bn to increase domestic refining capacity, boost local production, and reduce dependence on imported petroleum products.

He also said Egypt is working to capitalise on its strategic geographical location and advanced energy infrastructure by receiving natural gas from Cyprus and re-exporting it to international markets through Egypt, reinforcing the country’s position as a regional energy hub.

The petroleum minister added that the government is updating the national energy strategy in cooperation with the Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy. The revised strategy aims to expand renewable energy generation, free up larger volumes of natural gas for higher value-added industries, expand refining and petrochemical industries, and strengthen long-term planning to ensure the security and sustainability of Egypt’s energy supplies.

Element List Explanation
The reason of the increase (decrease) in the sales/ revenues during the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the last year is The Company's revenues decreased by 16% during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the corresponding quarter of 2025. This was primarily driven by a 16% decrease in aggregates sales due to a 13% decline in quantities sold, a 21% decrease in asphalt sales due to a 37% decline in quantities sold, in addition to a 32% decline in spare parts segment revenues. This reflects the continued decline in demand levels as a result of the geopolitical challenges in the region and the associated disruptions to supply chains, which adversely affected demand for the Company's products.
The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit during the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the last year is The Company's net profit decreased to SAR 6.4 million during the second quarter of 2026, compared to SAR 18 million during the corresponding quarter of 2025, representing a decline of approximately 64%. This was primarily driven by the decline in the gross profit margin from 18% to 13% compared to the corresponding quarter in the previous year, amid continued pressure on operating costs resulting from the geopolitical situation in the region and the associated disruptions to supply chains, as well as the increase in the cost of certain operating inputs, in addition to the decline in revenues, which led to a decrease in operating profit and consequently a decline in net profit.
The reason of the increase (decrease) in the sales/ revenues during the current quarter compared to the previous one is The Company's revenues increased by 4% during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the previous quarter. This was primarily driven by a 6% increase in aggregates sales and an 11% increase in spare parts segment sales, despite the slight 1% decline in asphalt sales during the current quarter compared to the previous quarter. This reflects a relative improvement in demand levels compared to the previous quarter.
The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit (loss) during the current quarter compared to the previous one is The Company's net profit decreased to SAR 6.4 million during the second quarter of 2026, compared to SAR 9.2 million in the previous quarter, representing a decline of approximately 31%. This was primarily driven by the decline in the gross profit margin from 15% to 13% during the current quarter compared to the previous quarter, in addition to the continued impact of the geopolitical challenges in the region and the resulting disruptions to supply chains, which contributed to the increase in the cost of certain operating inputs, leading to a decrease in operating profit and consequently a decline in net profit.
The reason of the increase (decrease) in the sales/ revenues during the current period compared to the same period of the last year is The Company’s revenue decreased by 12% during the first half of 2026 compared to the corresponding period of 2025. This was primarily driven by a 15% decline in aggregate sales, driven by a 13% decrease in sales volumes. Revenue was also affected by a 7% decline in asphalt sales resulting from a 20% decrease in sales volumes, in addition to a 40% reduction in spare parts segment revenue. This was mainly due to lower demand levels, affected by geopolitical challenges in the region and the resulting supply chain disruptions, which adversely impacted demand for the Company’s products.
The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit during the current period compared to the same period of the last year is Net profit decreased to SAR 15.7 million during the first half of 2026, compared to SAR 41.2 million during the corresponding period of 2025, representing a decline of approximately 62%. This was primarily driven by the decline in the gross profit margin from 21% to 14% compared to the previous year, amid the continued impact of the geopolitical challenges in the region and the resulting disruptions to supply chains, which contributed to the increase in the cost of certain operating inputs, leading to a decrease in operating profit and consequently a decline in net profit.

Comment mentioned in the external auditor’s report, mentioned in any of the following paragraphs (other matter, conservation, notice, disclaimer of opinion, or adverse opinion) Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note (2-2) to the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements, which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss of SAR 24.3 million and generated negative operating cash flows during the six-month period ended 30 June 2026, as the actual results were below the previous forecasts. Furthermore, as at 30 June 2026, the Group had a debit balance in the foreign currency translation reserve of SAR 52 million and a debit balance in the reserve for changes in the fair value of investments of SAR 133 million. These events or conditions, together with the other matters set forth in Note (2-2), indicate that material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Reclassification of Comparison Items In accordance with IAS 8, management has restated the comparative figures to adjust prior year consolidated financial statements:
1- Reclassification of transaction cost amortization from special commission expenses to special commission income,aligning with IFRS 9 effective interest method requirements.

2- Reclassification of repossessed assets held for sale back to Islamic financing receivables, as the company had not completed the foreclosure process nor obtained control over the underlying collateral.

These disclosures strengthen the transparency of the company’s financial reporting and ensure compliance with applicable IFRS requirements.

Additional Information 1- In accordance with IAS 8, management has restated the comparative figures to adjust prior year consolidated financial statements:
A. Separate disclosure of special commission income received, in accordance with IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows”, as this was not previously disclosed separately and the related movement was included within the movement of Islamic financing receivables

2- The company revised its ECL assumptions to reflect heightened geopolitical uncertaintyresulting in an additional ECL charge of SAR 544,555 for the six-month period ended 30 June 2026.

3- IFRS 18, effective from 1 January 2027, will replace IAS 1 and has not been early adopted by the company. Based on management’s preliminary assessment, its adoption is expected to affect the presentation, classification, aggregation, disaggregation and disclosure of financial information, without affecting total profit or equity. Financing income and related funding costs are expected to be classified within the operating category, as Islamic financing represents the company’s specified main business activity. The company continues to assess the remaining impacts, including management-defined performance measures, cash flow presentation, comparative information and other consequential amendments.

These disclosures strengthen the transparency of the company’s financial reporting and ensure compliance with applicable IFRS requirements.

Element List Explanation
The reason of the increase (decrease) in the sales/ revenues during the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the last year is Almoosa Health Company recorded record revenue of SAR 405.6 million in Q2 2026, representing a 16.2% year-on-year increase compared to SAR 349.0 million in Q2 2025, marking the highest quarterly revenue in the Company’s history. This growth was supported by diversified performance across the Company’s operating segments, with Rehabilitation recording year-on-year growth of 28.1%, followed by Pharmaceuticals at 16.1%, while the Acute Care segment grew by 14.1%.
Revenue growth was primarily driven by higher patient volumes across the Company’s network, with outpatient visits increasing by 27.0% year-on-year and inpatient volumes growing by 5.5% in Q2 2026. Performance also benefited from the continued expansion of the Company’s specialty service offerings and broader clinical capabilities, enabling it to capture increasing demand across its healthcare network.

Revenue was further supported by the continued ramp-up of the two newly opened large medical centers, which progressively increased their utilization levels and contributed incremental patient volumes during the quarter. Overall, this performance reflects sustained demand for the Company’s services, continued diversification of its revenue base, and the growing contribution of its expanded healthcare network to the Company’s growth.

The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit during the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the last year is The Company’s net profit for Q2-26 amounted to SAR 38.5 million, compared to SAR 68.0 million in Q2-25, a decrease of 43.3%. This decline occurred despite continued top-line growth, with revenue rising 16.2% year-on-year to SAR 405.6 million. The reduction in net profit was primarily non-cash in nature and was mainly driven by a swing in the fair value of derivative financial instruments, which moved from a gain of SAR 16.2 million in Q2-25 to a loss of SAR 9.0 million in Q2-26 — an unfavourable, non-cash mark-to-market swing of SAR 25.2 million between the two periods.
Excluding the impact of derivative gains and losses, adjusted net profit for Q2-26 was SAR 47.6 million, compared to SAR 51.8 million in Q2-25, representing a more moderate year-on-year decline of 8.1% and reflecting an improvement in the underlying profitability trend during the second quarter.

The results were further impacted by the initial ramp-up phase and associated operating costs of new medical centres, such as an increase in general and administrative expenses that are relatively fixed in nature, reflecting the Company’s continued investment in its operational infrastructure and the expansion of its service platform.

Despite the decline in net profit, the Company maintained robust performance across its core operations, with revenue increasing by 16.2% year-on-year to SAR 405.6 million with Rehabilitation recording year-on-year growth of 28.1%, followed by Pharmaceuticals at 16.1%, while the Acute Care segment grew by 14.1%.

Revenue growth was further supported by higher outpatient volumes, the continued expansion of specialty medical services, and the ongoing ramp-up of the newly opened medical centres. Gross Profit Margin also improved by approximately 0.5 percentage points. However, operating margins remained under pressure during the quarter, primarily due to costs associated with the ramp-up phase of the newly opened large outpatient medical centres, which impacted net profit.

Excluding the impact of the non-cash gain/(loss) on derivative financial instruments, the Company’s core business fundamentals remain strong. Management remains focused on sustaining its growth trajectory, driving patient volumes at the newly opened centres, and enhancing operational efficiencies across the group in the coming quarters, without compromising on the quality of care and service offered to patients.

The reason of the increase (decrease) in the sales/ revenues during the current quarter compared to the previous one is Q2 2026 revenue reached a record SAR 405.6 million, representing a 16.4% increase from the previous quarter. The quarter-on-quarter growth was driven by higher patient volumes, greater utilisation of core medical specialties, and the continued expansion of clinics across the Company’s medical centers and hospitals as demand continued to strengthen. The increase also reflects the seasonal impact on Q1 performance, which was affected by Ramadan and Eid-related seasonality, resulting in comparatively lower activity levels during the first quarter. Against this lower seasonal base, Q2 benefited from a recovery in patient activity and stronger utilisation across the network.
While Q2 continued to experience a degree of seasonal impact due to the Eid Al-Adha holiday falling within the quarter, the Company nevertheless delivered record quarterly revenue, highlighting the resilience of underlying demand and the strength of its operating platform. Importantly, Q2 2026 marked the highest quarterly revenue in the Company’s history, highlighting the continued strength of underlying demand and the growing contribution of the Company’s expanding healthcare network.

The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit (loss) during the current quarter compared to the previous one is Net profit for Q2 2026 amounted to SAR 38.5 million, compared to SAR 23.5 million in Q1 2026, representing an increase of 63.9% quarter-on-quarter. The improvement was supported by the recovery in activity levels following the seasonal impact of Ramadan and Eid, which affected patient volumes and operating activity during Q1. Q2 also benefited from higher patient volumes, improved utilisation across the Company’s core medical specialties, and the continued ramp-up of its expanded healthcare network. The quarter delivered record revenue of SAR 405.6 million, the highest quarterly revenue in the Company’s history, providing stronger operating leverage and supporting the sequential improvement in profitability. The increase in net profit reflects the recovery from the seasonally weaker first quarter, together with the continued growth of the Company’s operational footprint and increasing contribution from its medical centers and hospitals.
The reason of the increase (decrease) in the sales/ revenues during the current period compared to the same period of the last year is Revenues increased by 12.2% to reach SAR 753.9 million for the first half of 2026, compared to SAR 671.9 million for the same period in 2025. This growth was achieved despite temporary headwinds arising from the seasonal impact of Ramadan and Eid, as well as the elevated geopolitical situation in the region. The increase was mainly attributed to strong performance across the Company’s operating segments, with Rehabilitation recording year-on-year growth of 37.3%, followed by Pharmaceuticals at 10.9%, while the Acute Care segment grew by 8.4%. Growth was further supported by higher patient volumes and improved utilization of medical services.
Revenue growth was primarily driven by higher patient volumes across the Company’s network, with outpatient visits increasing by 23.2% year-on-year and inpatient volumes growing by 3.1% in H1 2026.

The reason of the increase (decrease) in the net profit during the current period compared to the same period of the last year is Net profit declined by 54.1% to SAR 62.1 million in H1 2026, compared to SAR 135.2 million in H1 2025. The decline was primarily driven by a swing in the fair value of derivative financial instruments, which moved from a gain of SAR 32.3 million in H1 2025 to a loss of SAR 22.3 million in H1 2026, resulting in an overall non-cash adverse impact of SAR 54.6 million on the Company’s reported performance. Excluding the impact of gains and losses on derivative financial instruments, adjusted net profit amounted to SAR 84.4 million in H1 2026, compared to SAR 102.9 million in H1 2025, representing a more moderate decline of 18.0%, significantly lower than the reported decline in net profit.
Profitability was further impacted by higher general and administrative expenses, reflecting the Company’s continued investment in its operational infrastructure and the ramp-up of recently opened medical centres. Although revenue increased by 12.2% to SAR 753.9 million, Gross Profit Margin declined by 0.9 percentage points due to the ramp-up of the new medical centres, while operating margins remained under pressure during the period, resulting in lower reported net profit.

Excluding the impact of derivative financial instruments, the Company’s core business fundamentals remain robust. Management remains focused on sustaining the Company’s growth trajectory, enhancing operational efficiencies over the coming quarters, and maintaining disciplined oversight of operating overheads to further improve efficiency and support future margin expansion.

Additional Information It should be noted that statutory net income was impacted by a non-cash Mark-to-Market loss on derivative financial instruments. The derivative financial instruments recorded a loss of SAR 22.3 million in H1-26 compared to a gain of SAR 32.3 million in H1-25, resulting in a combined swing of SAR 54.6 million, which materially impacted the year-on-year comparison of reported net profit.
To provide a clearer view of the Company’s underlying operational performance, the adjusted net profit, excluding the impact of gain/(loss) on derivative financial instruments, amounted to SAR 84.4 million in H1-26 compared to SAR 102.9 million in H1-25, a decline of 18.0%, which is significantly moderate than the reported decline in net profit. Excluding this non-cash item, the adjusted net profit margin stood at 11.2% in H1-26 versus 15.3% in H1-25, and adjusted net profit for Q2-26 was SAR 47.6 million, compared to SAR 51.8 million in Q2-25, representing a more moderate year-on-year decline of 8.1% and reflecting the Company’s continued stable operational performance, supported by revenue growth of 12.2% for H1 YoY, despite the impact of overhead costs associated with the ramp-up phase of two newly opened large medical centers.

The company aims to open 4 additional large medical centres and doubling its In-patients capacity in coming years. The current lower profitability is a transient effect of such expansion and the company remains well-positioned to achieve long-term growth and enhanced profitability as these new facilities scale up and reach full operational capacity.

The Board of Directors approved a cash dividend of SAR 0.25 per share, amounting to SAR 11.1 million, for the second quarter of 2026.

Almoosa Health intends to hold an Earnings Call, Monday 10 August 2026, at 3:00 PM (Saudi Time) to address questions from investors and analysts regarding the financial results for H1 2026. Investors can register via the attached invitation.
