Integrated Diagnostics Holdings plc delivers strong 33% year-on-year revenue
growth in 1H 2024

(Cairo and London) - Integrated Diagnostics Holdings ("IDH," "the Group," or
"the Company"), a leading provider of diagnostic services with operations in
Egypt, Jordan, Nigeria, Sudan and Saudi Arabia, announced today its unaudited
financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2024. IDH recorded
revenues of EGP 2,498 million, a 33% increase year-on-year driven by higher
test volumes and increased average revenues per test. Strong revenue
performance, combined with IDH's ongoing cost optimization efforts, has
improved profitability across the board. The Group posted an EBITDA of EGP 668
million, up 45% year-on-year, with an increased EBITDA margin of 27% compared
to 25% in 1H 2023. Additionally, the company saw significant net profit growth
of 127% year-on-year, reaching EGP 480 million and achieving an expanded net
profit margin (NPM) of 19%.

 

On a quarterly basis, revenues reached EGP 1,327 million in Q2 2024,
representing a 39% increase year-on-year. Net profit saw substantial growth,
rising 84% year-on-year to total EGP 78 million.

Introduction

 

i.    Financial Highlights

·      IDH recorded consolidated revenues of EGP 2,498 million in the
first half of 2024, increasing 33% year-on-year from EGP 1,872 million in 1H
2023. Growth was supported by an 8% year-on-year rise in test volumes and a
23% year-on-year increase in average revenue per test. On a three-month basis,
IDH's consolidated revenues grew 39% year-on-year to EGP 1,327 million.

 Revenue Progression  Test Volumes Progression  Revenue Progression  Test Volumes Progression

  (EGP mn)             (mn)                      (EGP mn)             (mn)

·      Gross profit for the six-month period recorded EGP 925 million,
reflecting a 41% increase from EGP 658 million in 1H 2023. The gross profit
margin stood at 37% in 1H 2024, up from 35% in the same period last year,
underscoring the effectiveness of IDH's cost optimization efforts. On a
quarterly basis, gross profit recorded EGP 497 million, up 49% year-on-year,
with a higher margin of 37% versus 35% in Q2 2023.

·      EBITDA 5  (#_ftn5) recorded EGP 668 million in the first half of
2024, up 45% from EGP 462 million in the same period last year. The EBITDA
margin improved to 27% from 25% in 1H 2023. Higher EBITDA profitability was
driven by revenue growth that outpaced the rise in costs and SG&A
expenses. Moreover, IDH continues to implement cost optimization efforts amid
inflationary pressures, which reflect positively on margins. In Q2 2024,
EBITDA came in at EGP 338 million, up 44% year-on-year with a stable margin of
25%.

·      Net profit for 1H 2024 reached EGP 480 million, representing a
notable 127% year-on-year increase from 1H 2023. The Net Profit Margin (NPM)
expanded to 19%, up 8 percentage points from the 11% recorded in 1H 2023. On a
quarterly basis, net profit grew 84% year-on-year to EGP 78 million, with an
associated net profit margin of 6%, up from 4% in the same period of the
previous year.

 

ii.  Operational Highlights

·      At the end of 1H 2024, IDH's branch network stood at 591
branches, up by 3 branches compared to 1H 2023. In the first half of the year,
IDH launched 20 new branches in Egypt and two inaugural branches in Saudi
Arabia. During the same period, IDH closed one of its branches in Jordan
located in Jordan's airport due to a decrease in testing following the
COVID-19 pandemic, as well as all 18 branches in Sudan due to the ongoing
conflict.

·      During the first half of the year, IDH conducted 17.8 million
tests across its geographies, reflecting an 8% year-on-year increase from 16.5
million tests in 1H 2023.

·      The average revenue per test reached EGP 140 in 1H 2024, up 23%
compared to EGP 114 in 1H 2023. This increase was largely attributed to
strategic price increases introduced by IDH to address inflationary pressures
in its primary markets, including Egypt and Nigeria.

·      During the first half of 2024, IDH served 4.1 million patients,
up 5% year-on-year, with the average number of tests per patient reaching a
record-high of 4.3, highlighting the success of IDH's strategies to attract
and retain patients while promoting increased testing. The continued rise in
average tests per patient underscores the effectiveness of IDH's initiatives,
including its loyalty program introduced in FY 2021, which remains a key
driver in enhancing patient testing.

 

iii. Updates by Geography

·      In Egypt (82.8% of total revenues in 1H 2024), IDH saw
significant growth during the first half of 2024, generating EGP 2,069 million
in revenues, up 37% year-on-year. Revenue growth was primarily fuelled by a
25% year-on-year rise in the average revenue per test, reaching EGP 125 in 1H
2024, and further strengthened by a 10% year-on-year expansion in test
volumes, with IDH conducting 16.5 million tests in the first half of the year.
On a quarterly basis, IDH's Egyptian operations recorded revenues of EGP 1,080
million in Q2 2024, an increase of 38% year-on-year.

·      IDH's Jordanian subsidiary (15.4% of total revenues in 1H 2024),
Biolab, recorded revenues of JOD 6.5 million, down 4% year-on-year, largely
attributed to a 2% reduction in test volumes during 1H 2024 as a result of the
ongoing geopolitical situation in the region. The average revenue per test in
Jordan declined a marginal 2% year-on-year during the period due to stringent
pricing regulations imposed on Jordan's health sector. In EGP terms,
operations in Jordan reported revenues of EGP 386 million, representing a 33%
year-on-year increase due to the translation effect from a weakened EGP.

·      In Nigeria (1.5% of total revenues in 1H 2024), Echo-Lab achieved
a 37% year-on-year growth in revenues in local currency, reaching NGN 1,284
million during the first half of 2024, driven by a 65% year-on-year increase
in the average revenue per test. However, test volumes in Nigeria recorded 113
thousand in 1H 2024, down 17% year-on-year due to the continued impact of
inflationary pressures affecting patients' purchasing power. In EGP terms,
revenues in Nigeria recorded EGP 39 million, down 33% year-on-year, impacted
by both lower test volumes and average revenues per test due to the
devaluation of the Nigerian Naira.

·      Biolab KSA, IDH's newest venture in Saudi Arabia (0.2% of total
revenues in 1H 2024) began operations in Q1 2024 with one branch opening in
January and another in March. The company generated revenues of SAR 339
thousand in 1H 2024, performing 7 thousand tests in 1H 2024 with an average
revenue per test of SAR 46. The company continues to run targeted campaigns to
attract patients, which is evident through its impressive quarterly results.
In Q2 2024, the company's revenue reached SAR 281 thousand, compared to SAR 58
thousand in the first quarter of the year, driven by more than a threefold
increase in the number of patients as well as a higher average revenue per
test. IDH sees significant potential in the Saudi market and continues to
actively expand in this region. In EGP terms, Saudi operations reported
revenues of EGP 4 million, with an average revenue per test of EGP 579 during
the six-month period.

 

·      In Q1 2024, IDH decided to suspend all operations indefinitely in
Sudan due to the ongoing conflict, leading to the closure of its 18 branches
in the country.

iv. Management Commentary

 

Commenting on the Group's performance, IDH Chief Executive Officer Dr. Hend
El-Sherbini said: "I am pleased to report that IDH has successfully built on a
strong start to the year, delivering an impressive performance characterized
by substantial consolidated revenue growth and improved profitability. This
continued upward trajectory highlights the resilience of IDH's business model
amid various economic and regional challenges, underscoring our ability to
achieve consistent results and capitalize on opportunities for future growth.

During the first half of 2024, IDH achieved a robust 33% year-on-year revenue
increase, driven by a combination of higher test volumes and effective pricing
strategies yielding higher average revenues per test. This strong top-line
growth, coupled with disciplined cost management, has been pivotal in our
solid financial performance across the income statement. Notably, our success
in managing SG&A expenses, which decreased as a share of revenue,
underscores our commitment to optimizing costs and enhancing operational
efficiency. Consequently, our EBITDA grew by 45% year-on-year, with the margin
expanding to 27%, up from 25% last year, highlighting the resilience of our
business model in adapting to changing economic conditions.

Breaking down our results by regions, our core market in Egypt displayed
remarkable resilience, achieving a 37% year-on-year revenue growth. Despite
the challenges of rising inflation and its impact on patients' purchasing
power, we saw a growing demand for our services, with test volumes expanding
10% year-on-year and average revenue per test rising 25% year-on-year. We have
continued to solidify our market leadership by expanding our service offerings
and extending our reach into underpenetrated areas, adding 20 new branches
since the beginning of 2024. We are particularly delighted with the progress
of our radiology venture, Al-Borg Scan, which remains a central focus of our
growth strategy. The expansion of Al-Borg Scan reflects our commitment to
enhancing our service offerings in this critical area and aligns with our
diversification strategy. These initiatives are yielding tangible results,
with the radiology sector now contributing 5.0% to Egyptian revenues, up from
4.2% last year.

In Jordan, geopolitical instability impacted our performance in the first half
of the year, resulting in a slight decline in revenue in local currency terms,
primarily due to its effect on medical tourism and reduced test volumes. On
the other hand, Nigeria saw a robust 37% year-on-year increase in revenue in
local currency terms, driven by higher revenue per test. This growth reflects
our revenue mix optimization strategy, which has focused on higher-priced
tests, along with annual price increases we have implemented to counteract the
effects of record-high inflation in the country. However, it is important to
note that multiple devaluations of the Nigerian naira over the past two years,
coupled with the removal of diesel subsidies, have significantly strained our
patients' purchasing power, resulting in decreased test volumes and lower
revenues in EGP terms.

Turning to Saudi Arabia, where we officially commenced operations in Q1 2024
with the opening of two branches in Riyadh, our growth has been encouraging.
We are excited about expanding in this market, given its favourable
demographics, growing population, and rising demand for healthcare services.
The diagnostics sector remains fragmented, with no dominant players,
presenting IDH with an excellent environment to implement our proven business
model. We are confident that Saudi Arabia will quickly become a key market for
IDH. Since our launch, our comprehensive branding strategy, which included
outdoor advertising, social media campaigns, community event sponsorships, and
partnerships with local healthcare providers, has yielded strong results. In
Q2 2024, our revenue in Saudi Arabia surged to SAR 281 thousand, up from SAR
58 thousand in Q1 2024, driven by a significant increase in patient numbers
and higher revenue per test.

 

Looking ahead, our strategic focus remains steadfast. In Egypt, we expect
continued growth driven by recent economic reforms and a gradual improvement
in purchasing power. With over four decades of experience in the diagnostics
sector, we are particularly excited about the significant potential in our
radiology venture. As the economy stabilizes, we see a tremendous opportunity
to further capitalize on this growth area, leveraging our enhanced
capabilities to deliver even greater value across the region. In Saudi Arabia,
we are intensifying our efforts to fully capitalize on the market's potential,
with plans to expand our network of branches across the Kingdom. While we
remain mindful of the challenges ahead, particularly in navigating currency
fluctuations and inflationary pressures in some of our key markets, our
proactive risk management strategies, including price adjustments and cost
control measures, have so far mitigated these impacts, and we are confident in
our ability to sustain our growth trajectory. As such, we are reaffirming our
guidance of approximately 30% revenue growth in FY 2024, with an expected
EBITDA margin of around 30% for the year, excluding non-recurring expenses and
results from our newly inaugurated venture in Saudi Arabia.

Following up on our OTP from the EGX, IDH has received preliminary approval to
proceed with the delisting of its shares. IDH and the EGX coordinated the
process, with the Special Operations Market (OPR) operating from August 18th
to August 22nd. During this period, 18,673,728 shares were subscribed. IDH
then purchased these shares on August 26th, and the buyback settlement is to
be completed by August 28th. Afterwards, IDH will transfer its shares from the
EGX to the London Stock Exchange (LSE).

To conclude, our commitment remains unchanged in prioritizing the well-being
of our patients and stakeholders, as we continue to deliver exceptional
quality care to our growing patient base across Egypt, Jordan, Nigeria, and
Saudi Arabia.

Group Operational & Financial Review

i.    Revenue and Cost Analysis

     Consolidated Revenue

     IDH maintained its strong performance throughout the first half of 2024, with
     revenues growing 33% year-on-year to reach EGP 2,498 million in 1H 2024.
     Revenue growth was driven by an 8% year-on-year rise in test volumes and a 23%
     increase in average revenue per test, which stood at EGP 140 during the
     period. Higher average revenues per test continued to reflect the strategic
     price increases implemented across Egyptian and Nigerian operations to
     counteract mounting inflationary pressures in these markets.

      Revenue Analysis: Contribution by Geography

    Egypt (82.8% of Group revenue)

      IDH's home and largest market, Egypt, maintained its strong growth momentum,
      recording revenues of EGP 2,069 million in 1H 2024, a 37% year-on-year
      increase. Growth at the segment was primarily dual driven by a 10% increase in
      test volumes as well as a 25% rise in average revenue per test, attributed to
      repricing strategies implemented to counter the inflationary environment.

      On a quarterly basis, IDH's Egyptian operations recorded revenues of EGP 1,080
      million in Q2 2024, an increase of 38% year-on-year.

      Al-Borg Scan

      IDH's rapidly growing radiology venture, Al-Borg Scan, continued its upward
      trajectory in the six-month period, with revenues reaching EGP 104 million, a
      substantial 65% year-on-year increase. Growth was supported by a 33%
      year-on-year increase in scans performed reaching 121 thousand during 1H2024.
      Furthermore, the average revenue per test grew 24% year-on-year to EGP 856 in
      1H 2024. Al-Borg Scan continues to grow its operations through its network of
      seven branches across the Greater Cairo area, positioning itself as a leader
      in the fragmented Egyptian radiology market.

      House Calls

      During 1H 2024, IDH's house call services continued its significant
      contribution to the country's results, constituting 18% of total revenues.
      This contribution sits comfortably above pre-pandemic average, highlighting
      the segment's growth potential and the effectiveness of the Group's
      post-pandemic growth strategy.

      Wayak

      Finally, IDH's Egyptian subsidiary, Wayak, aims to leverage the Company's
      expanding patient database to develop electronic medical records and provide
      personalized services. In the first half of 2024, Wayak achieved revenues of
      EGP 7 million, marking a 60% year-on-year increase. This growth came after
      fulfilling 100 thousand orders during the first six months of the year,
      reflecting a 21% rise compared to 1H 2023.

   Jordan (15.4% of Group revenue in 1H 2024)

   In IDH's second largest market, Jordan, Biolab, recorded revenues of JOD 6.5
   million, down 4% year-on-year, largely attributed to a 2% reduction in test
   volumes during 1H 2024 weighed down by the ongoing geopolitical instability in
   the region. The average revenue per test in Jordan remained relatively stable,
   showing only a 2% year-on-year decline during the period due to stringent
   pricing regulations. In EGP terms, Jordanian operations booked a 33%
   year-on-year increase, posting EGP 386 million in 1H 2024. Higher revenues in
   EGP terms reflected an 36% year-on-year increase in average revenue per test,
   due to the translation effect following the devaluation of the Egyptian pound.

   On a quarterly basis, Biolab recorded JOD 3.3 million in Q2 2024, down 4%
   year-on-year. In EGP terms, it recorded EGP 221 million, up 51% year-on-year,
   due to the translation effect of a weaker Egyptian pound.

 ▲37%            Nigeria (1.5% of Group revenue in 1H 2024)

                 Echo-Lab, IDH's Nigerian subsidiary, posted a 37% year-on-year growth in

               revenues in local currency, reaching NGN 1,284 million during the first half
                 of 2024. Growth was driven by a 65% increase in the average revenue per test.

               Meanwhile, test volumes in Nigeria were down 17% year-on-year, booking 113

               thousand for 1H 2024, as inflationary pressures continued to significantly

               impact the population's purchasing power. In EGP terms, Echo-Lab booked EGP 39

               million in revenues during 1H 2024, down 33% year-on-year. In addition to

               declining test volumes at the market, average revenue per test declined to EGP

               341 during the six-month period, reflecting the translation effect from

               multiple devaluations of the Naira over the past year.

               Quarterly operations in Nigeria generated NGN 682 million, marking a 45%
                 increase compared to the previous year. In EGP terms, it amounted to EGP 23
                 million, reflecting a 15% decrease year-on-year.

                 Saudi Arabia (0.2% of Group revenue in 1H 2024)

                 IDH expanded its footprint into Saudi Arabia in the first quarter of 2024,
                 launching two Biolab KSA locations in Riyadh, the capital. The first branch
                 opened in January, and the second followed in March 2024. Saudi Arabia's
                 promising demographics, rapidly expanding economy, and a fragmented
                 diagnostics sector present considerable opportunity for IDH. The goal of this
                 expansion is to become a comprehensive provider of clinical pathology
                 diagnostic services, with a widespread network of branches across the Kingdom.

                 In its first operational half of the year, Biolab KSA posted revenues of SAR
                 339 thousand, performing 7 thousand tests and booking an average revenue per
                 test of SAR 46. In Q2 2024 alone, the company's revenue reached SAR 281
                 thousand compared to SAR 58 thousand in the first quarter, driven by more than
                 a threefold increase in the number of patients as well as a higher revenue per
                 test.

                 Sudan

                 Due to the ongoing situation in Sudan, which started with the eruption of
                 violent conflict in April 2023, IDH has decided to halt all operations in the
                 country starting in Q1 2024. All 18 of IDH's branches in the country have now
                 been indefinitely shut down.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nigeria (1.5% of Group revenue in 1H 2024)

Echo-Lab, IDH's Nigerian subsidiary, posted a 37% year-on-year growth in
revenues in local currency, reaching NGN 1,284 million during the first half
of 2024. Growth was driven by a 65% increase in the average revenue per test.
Meanwhile, test volumes in Nigeria were down 17% year-on-year, booking 113
thousand for 1H 2024, as inflationary pressures continued to significantly
impact the population's purchasing power. In EGP terms, Echo-Lab booked EGP 39
million in revenues during 1H 2024, down 33% year-on-year. In addition to
declining test volumes at the market, average revenue per test declined to EGP
341 during the six-month period, reflecting the translation effect from
multiple devaluations of the Naira over the past year.

 

Quarterly operations in Nigeria generated NGN 682 million, marking a 45%
increase compared to the previous year. In EGP terms, it amounted to EGP 23
million, reflecting a 15% decrease year-on-year.

339 thousand, performing 7 thousand tests and booking an average revenue per
test of SAR 46. In Q2 2024 alone, the company's revenue reached SAR 281
thousand compared to SAR 58 thousand in the first quarter, driven by more than
a threefold increase in the number of patients as well as a higher revenue per
test.

      Cost of Goods Sold

      IDH reported cost of goods sold at EGP 1,573 million for the first half of the

    year, reflecting a 30% year-on-year increase. As a percentage of revenue, cost
      of goods sold accounted for 63.0% in 1H 2024, down from 64.9% in the same

    period last year. The reduction in the cost of goods sold as a percentage of
      revenue was mainly attributed to lower direct wages and salaries, as well as

    reduced depreciation expenses relative to revenue.

    Cost of Goods sold Breakdown as a Percentage of Revenue

                 1H 2023  1H 2024

    Raw Materials                    21.5%    21.5%
      Wages & Salaries                 20.4%    19.5%

    Total                            64.9%    63.0%

 

    Raw material costs (34% of consolidated cost of goods sold in 1H 2024) the
      largest contributor to cost of goods sold in 1H 2024, totalled EGP 538

    million, which represents a 34% increase year-on-year. As a percentage of
      revenue, raw materials stood at 21.5%, at par with 1H 2023.

      Wages and salaries including employee share of profits (31% share of

    consolidated cost of goods sold) remained the second largest contributor to
      the cost of goods sold during the period, posting EGP 488 million, a 28%

    year-on-year increase. As a percentage of revenue, direct wages and salaries
      accounted for 19.5%, down from 20.4% in the same period last year. This

    decline is a direct result of IDH's optimized headcount compared to the
      previous year.

      Direct Wages and Salaries by Region

            1H 2023  1H 2024  Change
      Egypt (EGP mn)         287      358      25%

    Jordan (EGP mn)        78       109      40%
      Jordan (JOD mn)        2        2        1%

      Saudi Arabia (SAR k)   -        978      -

 

      Direct depreciation and amortization costs (14% of consolidated cost of goods

    sold) rose to EGP 212 million in 1H 2024, marking a 20% increase compared to
      the previous year. These costs represented 8.5% of revenues, down slightly

    from the figure recorded in 1H 2023. The rise in depreciation expenses is
      attributed to the expansion of IDH's branch network, which saw the addition of

    7 new branches in Egypt over the past six months and 20 over the past year.

    Other expenses (21% of consolidated cost of goods sold) recorded EGP 335
      million in 1H 2024, reflecting a 32% increase year-on-year. As a percentage of

    revenues, these expenses remained steady at 13.4%, consistent with the same

    period last year. The main components of other expenses during this time were

    repair and maintenance fees, hospital contracts, and cleaning costs.

      Gross Profit

      The Company reported a gross profit of EGP 925 million for the first six

    months of the year, representing a 41% year-on-year increase compared to the
      previous year. The Gross Profit Margin (GPM) also improved to 37%, up from 35%

    in 1H 2023. Improved margins were achieved by reducing the cost of goods sold
      as a percentage of revenue, enhancing fixed asset utilization to lower

    depreciation, and optimizing headcount to decrease direct salary expenses

    relative to revenue.

 

    Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses

    SG&A expenses for 1H 2024 totaled EGP 490 million, marking a 25% increase
      year-on-year. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A accounted for 20%, down

    from 21% in the same period last year. The rise in SG&A expenses was

    mainly due to the following factors:

 

    ·      Higher indirect wages and salaries reached EGP 173 million, a 23%
      increase compared to the previous year. This rise was driven by annual wage

    increases and the translation effect from Jordanian salaries as well as Saudi
      Arabian salaries due to a weakened EGP. However, indirect salaries and wages

    as a percentage of revenue decreased to 6.9% from 7.5% in 1H 2023, thanks to
      the optimization of IDH's headcount.

      ·      G&A other expenses rose by 38% year-on-year to EGP 175

    million, primarily due to increased accounting and professional fees quoted in
      foreign currency impacted by a weaker EGP in the income statement.

      Advertising expenses increased by 50% year-on-year to support the ramp-up of

    the company's operations in Saudi Arabia, which began in Q1 2024. These
      expenses now represent 43% of the company's total advertising costs.

      EBITDA

      During 1H 2024, IDH achieved an EBITDA of EGP 668 million, representing a 45%

    year-on-year increase, driven by the continued normalization of costs over the
      past 12 months. The EBITDA margin also improved to 27%, up from 25% in 1H

    2023.

    It is worth noting that EBITDA has been impacted by the recent expansion of
      IDH's operations in Saudi Arabia and the EGX delisting fees of EGP 99.4

    million. Adjusting for non-recurring items, IDH would have recorded EBITDA of
      EGP 767 million, reflecting a margin of 30.7%.

      EBITDA by Country

      In Egypt, IDH reported an EBITDA of EGP 663 million for 1H 2024, a 63%

    increase compared to the previous year. The EBITDA margin rose significantly
      to 32%, up from 27% a year earlier. Improved profitability in the region was

    driven by a 3.0 percentage point reduction in SG&A expenses to 16%,
      primarily due to lower advertising costs.

      In Jordan, IDH's subsidiary Biolab reported an EBITDA of JOD 1.5 million for

    1H 2024, a 6% decrease from the previous year, with a margin of 23%,
      relatively stable to the margin in 1H 2023. In EGP terms, EBITDA amounted to

    EGP 89 million, marking a 29% year-on-year increase and a margin of 23%. The

    growth in EBITDA when converted to EGP is attributed to the devaluation of the

    EGP over the past year.

 

    In Nigeria, ongoing economic challenges and rising inflation have impacted

    IDH's cost base, resulting in increased EBITDA losses for the first half of

    the year. In 1H 2024, EBITDA losses amounted to NGN 436 million, down from NGN
      233 million in the same period of 2023. When converted to EGP, EBITDA losses
      were EGP 13 million in 1H 2024, an improvement from EGP 15 million the
      previous year. This reduction in EBITDA losses in EGP terms is due to the
      translation effect of the devaluation of the Nigerian Naira.

      In Saudi Arabia, EBITDA losses amounted to SAR 6 million as the new venture
      starts to scale up its operations. In EGP terms, these EBITDA losses totalled
      EGP 70 million.

      Interest Income / Expense

      IDH's interest income recorded EGP 55 million, increasing considerably from
      EGP 30 million in 1H 2023. Higher interest income during the quarter period
      the increase in interest rates imposed by the CBE during the past 12 months.

      Interest expense 7  (#_ftn7) stood at EGP 89 million, up 17% year-on-year in
      1H 2024. The marginal increase in interest expenses were mainly driven by:

      ·      Higher interest on lease liabilities related to IFRS 16 due to
      the addition of new branches to IDH's network.

      ·      Higher interest expenses following the CBE decision to increase
      rates in December 2023 and February 2024. It is important to note that IDH's
      interest bearing debt  8  (#_ftn8) (excluding accrued interest) decreased to
      EGP 94 million as at 30 June2024, from EGP 111 million at year-end 2023. In
      2023, as part of IDH's strategy to reduce foreign currency risk, the Company
      agreed with General Electric (GE) for the early repayment of its contractual
      obligation of USD 5.7 million. To finance the settlement, IDH utilized a
      bridge loan facility, with half the amount being funded internally, while the
      other half (amounting to EGP 55 million) was provided through a bridge loan by
      Ahly United Bank- Egypt (AUBE). Interest expenses related to the AUBE facility
      recorded EGP 11 million in Q2 2024. The bridge loan was fully settled in Q2
      2023.

      ·      Fast track payments worth EGP 3.7 million, which encompass
      discounts provided for the rapid payment of receivables in 1H 2024.

      Foreign Exchange

      IDH booked a foreign exchange gain of EGP 297 million in 1H 2024, up from EGP
      102 million during the same period of the previous year. The foreign exchange
      gain was due to intercompany balances revaluation.

      Taxation

      Tax expenses, including income and deferred tax, rose to EGP 207 million
      during 1H 2024, up from EGP 98 million one year prior. IDH's effective tax
      rate slightly declines to 30% in 1H 2024. The decline in effective tax rate
      for the first half compared to IDH's historical averages is primarily due to
      the increase in foreign exchange gain recorded during the periods as a result
      of intercompany transactions. It is important to highlight that there is no
      tax payable for IDH's two holding-level companies.

      Net Profit

      IDH booked a net profit of EGP 480 million in 1H 2024, a 127% year-on-year
      increase due to the substantial increase in foreign exchange gain from
      intercompany transactions. Meanwhile, the Company's Net Profit Margin (NPM)
      came in at 19% compared to 11% in 1H 2023.

      When accounting for contributions from foreign exchange gains during both
      periods, IDH booked an adjusted net profit of EGP 183 million in 1H 2024,
      growing 68% year-on-year from EGP 109 million during the same period of last
      year. The Company's adjusted net profit margin stood at 7% during the period,
      up from 6% in 1H 2023.

 

Raw material costs (34% of consolidated cost of goods sold in 1H 2024) the
largest contributor to cost of goods sold in 1H 2024, totalled EGP 538
million, which represents a 34% increase year-on-year. As a percentage of
revenue, raw materials stood at 21.5%, at par with 1H 2023.

Wages and salaries including employee share of profits (31% share of
consolidated cost of goods sold) remained the second largest contributor to
the cost of goods sold during the period, posting EGP 488 million, a 28%
year-on-year increase. As a percentage of revenue, direct wages and salaries
accounted for 19.5%, down from 20.4% in the same period last year. This
decline is a direct result of IDH's optimized headcount compared to the
previous year.

 

Direct Wages and Salaries by Region

                        1H 2023  1H 2024  Change

Direct depreciation and amortization costs (14% of consolidated cost of goods
sold) rose to EGP 212 million in 1H 2024, marking a 20% increase compared to
the previous year. These costs represented 8.5% of revenues, down slightly
from the figure recorded in 1H 2023. The rise in depreciation expenses is
attributed to the expansion of IDH's branch network, which saw the addition of
7 new branches in Egypt over the past six months and 20 over the past year.

Other expenses (21% of consolidated cost of goods sold) recorded EGP 335
million in 1H 2024, reflecting a 32% increase year-on-year. As a percentage of
revenues, these expenses remained steady at 13.4%, consistent with the same
period last year. The main components of other expenses during this time were
repair and maintenance fees, hospital contracts, and cleaning costs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gross Profit

The Company reported a gross profit of EGP 925 million for the first six
months of the year, representing a 41% year-on-year increase compared to the
previous year. The Gross Profit Margin (GPM) also improved to 37%, up from 35%
in 1H 2023. Improved margins were achieved by reducing the cost of goods sold
as a percentage of revenue, enhancing fixed asset utilization to lower
depreciation, and optimizing headcount to decrease direct salary expenses
relative to revenue.

 

Selling, General and Administrative (SG&A) Expenses

SG&A expenses for 1H 2024 totaled EGP 490 million, marking a 25% increase
year-on-year. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A accounted for 20%, down
from 21% in the same period last year. The rise in SG&A expenses was
mainly due to the following factors:

·      Higher indirect wages and salaries reached EGP 173 million, a 23%
increase compared to the previous year. This rise was driven by annual wage
increases and the translation effect from Jordanian salaries as well as Saudi
Arabian salaries due to a weakened EGP. However, indirect salaries and wages
as a percentage of revenue decreased to 6.9% from 7.5% in 1H 2023, thanks to
the optimization of IDH's headcount.

·      G&A other expenses rose by 38% year-on-year to EGP 175
million, primarily due to increased accounting and professional fees quoted in
foreign currency impacted by a weaker EGP in the income statement.

Advertising expenses increased by 50% year-on-year to support the ramp-up of
the company's operations in Saudi Arabia, which began in Q1 2024. These
expenses now represent 43% of the company's total advertising costs.

In Egypt, IDH reported an EBITDA of EGP 663 million for 1H 2024, a 63%
increase compared to the previous year. The EBITDA margin rose significantly
to 32%, up from 27% a year earlier. Improved profitability in the region was
driven by a 3.0 percentage point reduction in SG&A expenses to 16%,
primarily due to lower advertising costs.

 

In Jordan, IDH's subsidiary Biolab reported an EBITDA of JOD 1.5 million for
1H 2024, a 6% decrease from the previous year, with a margin of 23%,
relatively stable to the margin in 1H 2023. In EGP terms, EBITDA amounted to
EGP 89 million, marking a 29% year-on-year increase and a margin of 23%. The
growth in EBITDA when converted to EGP is attributed to the devaluation of the
EGP over the past year.

 

In Nigeria, ongoing economic challenges and rising inflation have impacted
IDH's cost base, resulting in increased EBITDA losses for the first half of
the year. In 1H 2024, EBITDA losses amounted to NGN 436 million, down from NGN
233 million in the same period of 2023. When converted to EGP, EBITDA losses
were EGP 13 million in 1H 2024, an improvement from EGP 15 million the
previous year. This reduction in EBITDA losses in EGP terms is due to the
translation effect of the devaluation of the Nigerian Naira.

 

In Saudi Arabia, EBITDA losses amounted to SAR 6 million as the new venture
starts to scale up its operations. In EGP terms, these EBITDA losses totalled
EGP 70 million.

    of 30 June 2024, up from EGP 2,554 million at the end of 2023. The increase in
      CAPEX as a share of revenue during the past six-month period is largely due to

    the addition of new branches, renovation of existing branches, improvements of
      IDH's headquarters (constituting 2.5% of revenues), in addition to the

    year-to-date. Meanwhile, IDH's net receivables' Days on Hand (DoH) booked 146
      days, up from 134 days at the end of 2023.

      Provision for doubtful accounts in 1H 2024 was recorded at EGP 17 million, a

    decrease from EGP 23 million in the previous year. This reduction is
      attributed to improved economic conditions, increased stability, and reduced

    inflation, which have led to a noticeable increase in collected amounts during
      the accounting period.

      Inventory

      At 30 June 2024, IDH booked an inventory balance of EGP 462 million, up 23%

    compared to the end of 2023. Meanwhile, Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO)
      increased to 148 days, from 133 days at 31 December 2023. Increased DIO

    highlights management's proactive strategy of accumulating inventory to hedge
      against inflationary pressures.

      Cash and Net Debt

      Cash balances and financial assets at amortised cost at 30 June 2024 reached

    EGP 1,254 million, up from EGP 835 million at year-end 2023.

Note: Interest Bearing Debt includes accrued interest for each period.

      *If excluding Lease Liabilities Property (IFRS 16), IDH would have recorded
      net cash of EGP 909 million

      Lease liabilities and financial obligations on property came in at EGP 944
      million at the end of Q2 2024, with the increase attributed to the translation
      effect of JOD-denominated liabilities in Jordan following the devaluation of
      the EGP in early 2024.

      Meanwhile, financial obligations related to equipment stood at EGP 236 million
      as at 30 June 2024, with the increase attributable to increases in USD-linked
      contracts with equipment suppliers following the devaluation of the Egyptian
      Pound.

      Finally, interest bearing debt 12  (#_ftn12) (excluding accrued interest)
      reached EGP 94 million at the end of Q2 2024, down from EGP 111 million at
      year-end 2023.

      Liabilities

      Trade Payable 13  (#_ftn13)

      Trade payable as of 30 June 2024 stood at EGP 283 million, up from EGP 272
      million at the end of 2023. Meanwhile, Days Payable Outstanding (DPO) came in
      at 98 days, down from 113 days at 31 December 2023.

      Put Option

      The put option current liability stood at EGP 456 million as at 30 June 2024,
      up from EGP 314 million at 31 December 2023, and is related to both:

      ·      The option granted in 2011 to Dr. Amid, Biolab's CEO, to sell his
      stake (40%) to IDH. The put option is in the money and exercisable since 2016
      and is calculated as 7 times Biolab's LTM EBITDA minus net debt.

      ·      The option granted in 2018 to the International Finance
      Corporation from Dynasty - shareholders in Echo Lab - and it is exercisable in
      2024. The put option is calculated based on fair market value (FMV).

      The put option non-current liability amounted to EGP 42 million at the end of
      1H 2024, up from EGP 43 million at 31 December 2023, and is related to the
      option granted in 2022 to Izhoor, IDH, and Biolab as part of their JV
      agreement in Saudi Arabia. The option allows the non-defaulting party, at its
      sole and absolute discretion, to serve one or more written notices to the
      defaulting party. The notices enable the non-defaulting party to buy the
      defaulting party's shares at the fair price, sell its shares to the defaulting
      party at the fair price, or request the dissolution and liquidation of the JV
      company. It is important to note that the put option, which grants these
      rights to the non-defaulting party, does not have a specified expiration date.

      Principle Risks and Uncertainties

      As in any corporation, IDH has exposure to risks and uncertainties that may
      adversely affect its performance. The Board and senior management agree that
      the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group include political and
      economic risks in Egypt, the Middle East and Nigeria, foreign currency
      exchange rate variability and associated risks, changes in regulation and
      regulatory actions, damage to the Group's reputation, failure to maintain the
      Group's high quality standards and accreditations, failure to maintain good
      relationships with healthcare professionals and end users, pricing pressures
      and business interruption of the Group's testing facilities, among others.

      In the short term, other factors influencing the economic landscape include
      rising geopolitical stability, inflationary pressures in Egypt and Nigeria,
      and currency devaluation in both countries. These factors may weigh on the
      cost base in the near future.

12.    Put option liability (continued)

 

Put option - Biolab Jordan

The accounting policy for put options after initial recognition is to
recognise all changes in the carrying value of the put option liability within
equity.

Through the historic acquisitions of Makhbariyoun Al Arab the Group entered
into separate put option arrangements to purchase the remaining equity
interests from the vendors at of a subsequent date. At acquisition, a put
option liability has been recognised at the net present value of the exercise
price of the option.

The option is calculated at seven times EBITDA of the last 12 months minus Net
Debt and its exercisable in whole starting the fifth anniversary of completion
of the original purchase agreement, which fell due in June 2016. The vendor
has not exercised this right at 30 June 2024. It is important to note that the
put option liability is treated as current as it could be exercised at any
time by the NCI. However, based on discussions and ongoing business
relationships, there is no expectation that this will happen in next 18
months. The option has no expiry date

Put option - Eagle Eye-Echo scan

According to the definitive agreements signed on 15 January 2018 between
Dynasty Group Holdings Limited and the International Finance Corporation (IFC)
related to the Eagle Eye-Echo scan transaction, IFC has the option to put it
is shares to Dynasty in year 2024. The put option price will be calculated on
the basis of the fair market value determined by an independent valuator.

Put option - Medical Health Development

Based on the agreement made on October 27th, 2022, between Business Flower
Holding LLC, Integrated Diagnostics Holdings plc and Al Makhbariyoun Al Arab
there is a clause that in cases of bankruptcy and defaulting, a non-defaulting
party is entitled to implement any of the following options for a defaulting
party's share without reference to it:

(A) sell to the Non-Defaulting Party its Shares at the Fair Price of such
Shares.

(B) buy the Non-Defaulting Party's Shares at the Fair Price of such Shares.

(C) requesting the dissolution and liquidation of the Company.

It's important to note that the put option, which grants these rights to the
non-defaulting party, does not have a specified expiration date.
