Orascom Development Holding AG / Key word(s): Miscellaneous/Miscellaneous Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR. Orascom Development Holding (“ODH”) (SIX ODHN.SW) has released its consolidated financial results for 9M 2024. Targeted implementation of the strategic roadmap leads to improved operational and financial performance, with revenues up by 7.6% to CHF 437 million and adj. EBITDA is up by 16.5% to CHF 129 million, with a margin of 29.5%. Altdorf, 14 November 2024 – In 9M 2024, ODH exhibited strong operational and financial performance amidst a challenging environment characterized by the ongoing conflict in Gaza, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, and economic instability. Our results underscore effective management in a complex macroeconomic landscape. The Egyptian Pound (EGP) devaluation has impacted our financial results with a non-cash foreign exchange loss of CHF 40.5 million. Our diversified business strategy has proven resilient against inflationary pressures, supported by innovation and operational effectiveness. This approach has led to significant revenue growth and improved adj. EBITDA and expanding margins. Key Financial Highlights for Q3 2024:
Key Financial Highlights for 9M 2024:
However, when accounting for one-off items, ODH experienced a net loss of CHF 17.1 million, compared to a net profit of CHF 27.8 million reported in 9M 2023. The main factors contributing to this loss included:
It is important to note that these losses are accounted as non-cash items and do not adversely impact the company’s cash flows, reflecting our constant commitment to operational efficiency and financial stability. Group Real Estate: Achieved the highest ever 9M real estate sales figures, with net real estate sales up by an impressive 32% to CHF 617 million. In Q3 2024, ODH recorded noteworthy achievements in real estate sales. The new real estate sales reached CHF 206.3 million, contributing to a total sales value of 9M 2024 of CHF 617.3 million, marking an extraordinary 31.9% increase compared to the previous year's corresponding period. This growth in sales was attributed to a rise in average selling prices, while the number of units sold remained consistent with the previous year at 1,546 units. The collective increase in sales and construction pace enhanced the Group’s real estate revenue by 3.7% to CHF 244.9 million in 9M 2024—additionally, the Adj. EBITDA increased by 1.8% to CHF 83.4 million in 9M 2024, showcasing a margin of 34.1% and reaffirming our dedication to operational excellence. Moreover, the total deferred revenue from real estate reached CHF 780.9, providing substantial visibility of our real estate revenue across all destinations over the next 3-4 years. Group Hotels: Despite the ongoing challenges in the Middle East, we have demonstrated unwavering strength and resilience, consistently maintaining our revenues stable at CHF 107.6 million and achieving a 34% Adj. EBITDA margin ODH Hotels' established business model again yielded favorable results despite prevailing macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges worldwide. Our hotels maintained steady revenues of CHF 107.6 million, consistent with the previous year. The ability of our hotels to uphold high occupancy rates and improve room rates has been pivotal in driving this growth despite being affected by the devaluation of the EGP, which impacted the financial performance of our Egyptian hotels when reported in CHF. In EGP, total Egyptian hotel revenues increased by 29.1%, whereas in CHF, a 9% decline was attributable to the EGP devaluation. We have successfully achieved a healthy margin and achieved strong financial results. In 9M 2024, our GOP reached CHF 41.9 million—additionally, the adj. EBITDA remained solid, increasing by 2.3% to CHF 36.2 million in 9M 2024, with an improved margin of 33.6% compared to 32.9%, driven by continuous improvements in operational efficiencies. This resilient financial performance highlights our hotels' ability to navigate a challenging market environment. Recurring income from commercial assets: Strong growth, with revenues increasing by 12% to CHF 57 million The commercial assets segment plays a crucial role in providing a steady cash flow, offering essential support to the group during unexpected circumstances. In Q3 2024, the revenue reached CHF 20.5 million, reflecting a 7.3% increase. These outcomes have driven the commercial assets segment revenue to CHF 57 million, marking a 12% growth compared to 9M 2023—furthermore, the Adj. EBITDA outpaced revenue growth, underscoring our operational excellence—the Adj. EBITDA surged by 70.0% to CHF 10.2 million, resulting in a margin of 17.9%, a significant improvement from the 11.8% reported in 9M 2023. Subsequent events: Sale of a land plot in El Gouna: Sold 110,000 sqm of land to an Egyptian developer, Hassan Allam Properties, for a total value of approximately CHF 33 million, to be paid over five-year installments. CHF 100 million bond refinancing issuing: Successfully issued a bond worth CHF 100 million with a 4.0% coupon and a five-year tenor.

International Finance Corporation (IFC) USD 100 million loan: The largest subsidiary in Egypt, Orascom Development Egypt (ODE), successfully signed a USD 155 million loan facility with the IFC. This loan facility will primarily be used to partially refinance ODE’s existing debt and fund potential growth opportunities for the hotel business line in El Gouna and planned capital expenditures for renovating the hotels in El Gouna. The financing will lower the company’s credit spreads and extend the maturity of the debt, thereby improving ODH’s debt profile.
