IDH recorded a net profit of EGP 168 million, declining 46% from Q1 2022 and with an associated margin of 18%.

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

(2) Starting Q1 2023, IDH has opted to stop reporting on its Covid-19-related revenues and test volumes due to their material insignificance to the consolidated figures and to Egypt's and Jordan's country-level results for the quarter. In the comparable period of last year (Q1 2022) IDH had recorded EGP 540 million in Covid-19-related revenues and had performed 1.3 million Covid-19-related tests.

(3) Conventional (non-Covid) tests include all of the Group's test offering with the exception of its Covid-19-related test offering outlined above.

(4) Important notice: In the Company's earnings releases covering the five quarters starting from Q4 2021 and ending Q4 2022, management had opted to present Alternative Performance Measures (APM) alongside IFRS-compliant figures as outlined on page 2 of the Company's FY 2022 Earnings Release. Starting in Q1 2023, due to the material insignificance of Covid-19-related revenues on consolidated results, the Company will only report IFRS-compliant figures. It is worth noting that revenues for the comparable period (Q1 2022), include concession fees amounting to EGP 63 million paid by Biolab as part of its agreement with QAIA and Aqaba Port.

(5) EBITDA is calculated as operating profit plus depreciation and amortization.

(6) Key operational indicators are calculated based on revenues for the quarter of EGP 915 million and EGP 1,180 million for Q1 2023 and Q1 2022, respectively.

Introduction

   i.    Financial Highlights 

-- Conventional(7) revenue recorded EGP 915 million in Q1 2023 compared to EGP 640 million (including concession fees paid as part of Biolab's agreements with QAIA, KHIA, and Aqaba Port amounting to EGP 63 million) in the same period of the previous year, representing an impressive 43% year-on-year growth.

-- Conventional top-line growth continues to be driven by simultaneous rises in test volumes and average revenue per test, which in Q1 2023 increased 12% and 27% year-on-year, respectively. It is worth highlighting that a portion of the rise in average revenue per test reflects the translation effect resulting from the multiple devaluations of the Egyptian Pound during FY 2022 and the beginning of FY 2023.

-- Consolidated revenues recorded EGP 915 million in Q1 2023 contracting 22% from the high base of EGP 1,180 million in Q1 2022. It is important to note that the comparable three months of 2022 included a significant EGP 540 million contribution (46% of Q1 2022 revenues) from IDH's Covid-19-related(8) offering in Egypt and Jordan (of which EGP 63 million related to concession fees paid by Biolab to Queen Alia International Airport and Aqaba Port).

-- Gross Profit booked EGP 325 million in Q1 2023, down 39% year-on-year, with a Gross Profit Margin (GPM) of 35% in Q1 2023 versus 45% in Q1 2022. Lower gross profitability during the quarter primarily reflects a normalisation of margins following the year-on-year decline in Covid-19-related business which had significantly boosted revenue and profitability in Q1 2022. Gross margins were further diluted by higher direct salaries and wages to counteract the current inflationary pressures and staff the newly rolled out branches.

-- EBITDA(9) stood at EGP 227 million during Q1 2023, declining 51% year-on-year and recording an EBITDA margin of 25% versus 40% in Q1 2022. Decreased EBITDA profitability for the period came on the back of lower gross profitability combined with increased SG&A outlays including higher salary, marketing, auditing, and consulting expenses. The rise in auditing and consulting expenses is partially attributable to a weaker EGP.

-- Net Profit for the three-month period ended 31 March 2023 booked EGP 168 million, down 46% year-on-year and with an associated Net Profit Margin (NPM) of 18%.

(7) Conventional (non-Covid) tests include IDH's full service offering excluding the Covid-19 related tests outlined below.

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

(9) EBITDA is calculated as operating profit plus depreciation and amortization.

ii. Operational Highlights

-- IDH's branch network increased to 576 branches in Q1 2023, up by 56 branches compared to the same period of the previous year. Since the start of the year, IDH has inaugurated 24 new branches including 20 in Egypt, three in Jordan, and one in Sudan.

-- Conventional tests performed during Q1 2023 increased by 12% year-on-year to record 8.0 million tests for the quarter. Consolidated tests performed for the period declined 4% year-on-year, as Q1 2022 test volumes include a significant contribution for IDH's Covid-19-related offering.

-- Average net revenue per conventional test increased a robust 27% (out of which translation effect accounted for 9%) versus Q1 2022 to book EGP 114 in Q1 2023. Consolidated average net revenue per test declined 19% to EGP 114 in Q1 2022 from the EGP 140 recorded in the same quarter a year ago when consolidated results had been boosted by significant contributions made by IDH's generally higher-priced Covid-19-related offering.

-- Total patients served by the Company during the quarter came in at 1.9 million, down 27% year-on-year. Simultaneously, average test per patient increased to 4.1 in Q1 2023 from 3.2 in Q1 2022 largely reflecting a normalisation in IDH's patient mix in favour of conventional patients who typically opt for multiple tests when visiting IDH's branches.

-- In Egypt (79.9% of consolidated revenues) IDH continued to record robust growth at its conventional business, which expanded 33% year-on-year for the quarter. Conventional revenue growth was supported by a 13% year-on-year rise in test volumes and an 18% year-on-year increase in average revenue per test. Meanwhile, consolidated revenues in IDH's home market declined 17% versus Q1 2022 when results had been boosted by contributions made from the Company's Covid-19-related offering (38% of Egypt revenues in Q1 2022).

-- In Jordan (15.8% of consolidated revenues), the Group recorded conventional revenue growth in EGP terms of 105% year-on-year in Q1 2023. In local currency terms, conventional revenues also posted a remarkable 12% year-on-year expansion on the back of higher conventional test. Including contributions from Covid-19-related testing in the first three months of last year, consolidated revenues in Jordan recorded a 48% year-on-year decline during Q1 2023.

-- In Nigeria (3.4% of consolidated revenue in Q1 2023), the Company continued recording impressive revenue growth, increasing 109% year-on-year to EGP 31 million in Q1 2023. In NGN terms, revenue increased 26% year-on-year to reach NGN 468 million during Q1 2023, supported by a 16% increase in test volumes.

-- In Sudan (1.0% of consolidated revenue in Q1 2023), IDH posted an impressive year-on-year revenue growth of 55% in EGP terms, and 11% in SDG terms. It is important to note that due to recent political unrest in Sudan, 16 of IDH's 18 branches in Sudan have temporarily ceased operations, with only two branches, in Madani and Port Sudan, still operational. The closure of these branches will have a significant impact on Sudan's operational and financial results for the coming quarter.

iii. Management Commentary

Commenting on the Group's performance, IDH Chief Executive Officer Dr. Hend El-Sherbini said: " With the first five months of the year now behind us, I am happy to report another quarter of sustained growth at our conventional business and of solid progress on our longer-term value creation and growth strategies. Looking at our results for the first quarter of the year in more detail, I am particularly pleased to note that we recorded solid conventional top-line expansions across all four of our markets in both EGP and local currency terms. At the consolidated level, conventional revenue growth was driven by steady rises in both patient and test volumes coupled with rising average revenue per test as our strategic price hikes come into effect. The 43% year-on-year expansion of our conventional business was especially impressive as it comes in the midst of an increasingly difficult operating environment with our markets, and the global economy in general, continuing to face rising inflation, tightening monetary policies, and weakening currencies, as was the case in Egypt, Nigeria, and Sudan. On top of this, it is worth noting that our results in March were also impacted by the expected seasonal slowdown related to the holy month of Ramadan which in 2023 weighed on patient volumes starting mid-March.

On a geographic basis, across our two largest markets of Egypt and Jordan, conventional revenues continued to record double-digit growth showcasing the underlying health of both geographies. Since the start of the year, we delivered on several of our key strategic priorities across both markets. In Egypt, in the first three months of the year we rolled out 20 new branches, taking the total number of branches in the country to 520, and further securing our position as the largest private provider in the country. In parallel, we also introduced planned price hikes across our service portfolio, continuing to prioritise patient retention and loyalty by sharing the inflationary burden with them. During the quarter, we also saw Al-Borg Scan's contribution to the country's top-line double versus the same three months of last year, testament to the effectiveness of our radiology ramp-up strategy, and the contribution of our house call services remain well above pre-pandemic averages. Meanwhile, in Jordan, we went ahead with the launch of three new labs, taking the total number of Biolab branches to 26. New branch roll outs have been supporting Biolab's conventional test volumes which we were pleased to see return to double-digit growth following a Covid-19-related slowdown. In both Nigeria and Sudan, we continued to record solid revenue growth in line with recent trends. Here it is important to mention that we expect our second quarter results in Sudan to be significantly impacted by the ongoing political and social unrest, with 16 of our 18 branches in the country currently shut down. We continue to closely monitor the evolving situation and are confident that our management team on the ground has put in place a solid mitigation plan to safeguard our staff, patients, and operations.

On the cost front, I am pleased to note that we recorded only a moderate increase in raw material costs for the quarter, well below the inflation caused by the weakening Egyptian pound. This was possible thanks to successful negotiations with our main test kit providers who continue to value IDH as a long-term partner. Meanwhile, as part of our efforts to retain staff, we adjusted staff compensation packages to ensure we continue to support our people during these difficult times and remain an employer of choice across all of our markets. Further down the income statement, we recorded lower margins at all levels of profitability largely reflecting a post-Covid-19 normalization.

Heading into the second half of 2023, we remain on track to deliver on our financial and operational targets for the year. I am particularly looking forward to the launch of our first branch in Saudi Arabia, which is currently scheduled for September 2023. Meanwhile, across our current markets our priorities remain unchanged as we continue to navigate the ongoing macroeconomic turbulence to drive further conventional revenue growth, safeguard our margins, and continue to deliver world-class quality to our patients. In Egypt, we are planning to roll out several more branches as the year progresses, with a particular focus on growing our radiology network to capitalise on the strong momentum currently enjoyed by the segment.

In light of our strong start to the year and the solid strategies in place, we are looking to record year-on-year conventional revenue growth of around 30% in FY 2023. "

Group Operational & Financial Review

   i.    Revenue and Cost Analysis 

Consolidated Revenue

IDH started the year on a strong note, recording conventional revenues of EGP 915 million in Q1 2023, up an impressive 43% from the same three months of last year. Sustained top-line growth was driven by increases in the Group's average revenue per test, which increased by 27% to EGP 114 in Q1 2023 from EGP 90 in Q1 2022, as well as in test volumes which increased 12% year-on-year. It is important to note that this quarter's top-line partially reflects the translation effect resulting from the multiple devaluations of the Egyptian pound throughout FY 2022.

On a consolidated level, IDH recorded revenues of EGP 915 million in Q1 2023, down 22% year-on-year compared to EGP 1,180 million Q1 2022 when consolidated results had included a significant contribution from IDH's Covid-19-related offering impacting Egyptian and Jordanian operations.

 Revenue Analysis: Contribution by Patient Segment 
 
  Contract Segment (63% of Group revenue) 
  IDH's contract segment recorded conventional revenue of EGP 579 million 
  during the first quarter of 2023, a 46% year-on-year expansion from 
  EGP 396 million in Q1 2022. The increase was driven by a sustained increase 
  in test volumes at the Company's conventional business, which rose 16% 
  year-on-year to reach 6.5 million and was further bolstered by an increase 
  in average revenue per conventional test, which grew 26% year-on-year 
  to EGP 89 in Q1 2023. 
 
  Walk-in Segment (37% of Group revenue) 
  In parallel, IDH's walk-in segment also recorded strong conventional 
  revenue growth of 38% in Q1 2023 driven by a 39% increase in average 
  revenue per test. Conventional test volumes at the segment remained 
  largely stable, recording 1.5 million tests in Q1 2023. Total walk-in 
  revenues for the quarter recorded EGP 337 million, down 37% year-on-year. 
  Lower walk-in revenues for the quarter mainly reflect the high base 
  effect resulting from the significant contribution made by Covid-19-related 
  testing in the comparable three months of 2022. 
 
  It is important to highlight that the average number of tests per patient 
  at both the Company's contract and walk-in segments are continuing to 
  normalize following a decrease associated with the Covid-19 pandemic. 
  More specifically, test per patients at the contract and walk-in segments 
  in Q1 2023 reached 4.3 and 3.6 tests per patient, respectively.

 Revenue Analysis: Contribution by Geography 
 
  Egypt (79.9% of Group revenue) 
  At IDH's home market, Egypt, the Company continued posting strong conventional 
  revenue growth on the back of higher test volumes and average revenue 
  per test. More specifically, Egypt recorded conventional revenue growth 
  of 33% year-on-year, booking revenues of EGP 731 million in Q1 2023 
  compared to EGP 549 million one year prior. Throughout the quarter, 
  IDH's Egyptian operations recorded conventional test volume year-on-year 
  growth of 13% and an 18% year-on-year increase in average revenue per 
  test. Consolidated revenues in Egypt recorded a 17% year-on-year contraction 
  versus the first quarter of 2022 when Covid-19-related revenues has 
  significantly boosted the country's consolidated top-line. 
 
  Al-Borg Scan 
  IDH's Egyptian radiology venture, Al Borg Scan, continued its rapid 
  growth trajectory booking revenues of EGP 28 million in Q1 2023, up 
  a robust 65% versus Q1 2022. Revenue growth for the quarter was supported 
  by a 37% year-on-year growth in test volumes as well as by a 21% year-on-year 
  rise in average revenue per test provided. Al Borg Scan continued to 
  see its contribution to Egypt's revenues grow, nearly doubling to reach 
  4% of Egypt's overall top-line in Q1 2023. Patient and test volumes 
  continue to be supported by the successful ramp up of IDH's newer radiology 
  branches launches throughout FY 2021 and FY 2022. Building on this, 
  the Company is looking to grow its current network of six branches with 
  the rollout of an additional branch by year-end 2023. 
 
  House Calls 
  IDH's house call service in Egypt recorded revenue of EGP 114.2 million 
  in the first quarter of the year, contributing to 16% of Egypt's revenues 
  for the period. The robust contribution, which stands well above IDH's 
  pre-pandemic averages, was recorded despite demand for the Company's 
  Covid-19-related offering falling to near zero during the quarter. 
 
  Wayak 
  Wayak recorded a 16% year-on-year increase in the number of orders, 
  which came in at 40 thousand in Q1 2023 compared to 34.5 thousand this 
  time last year. EBITDA losses for the quarter recorded EGP 0.4 million, 
  a decline of 21% versus losses recorded in Q1 2022. The venture's EBITDA 
  losses are expected to decrease further in the coming months as management's 
  strategic efforts continue to pay off.

  IDH's Jordanian subsidiary, Biolab, recorded solid conventional revenue 
  year-on-year growth of 12% in JOD terms (in EGP terms revenue was up 
  105% year-on-year) supported by higher test volumes for the quarter 
  of 12%. On a consolidated level, in EGP terms, Biolab recorded a 48% 
  year-on-year decline in revenue for the quarter reflecting the high 
  base effect resulting from results in Q1 2022 having included a significant 
  contribution from Biolab's Covid-19-related offering. Similarly, in 
  JOD terms, Biolab's consolidated revenues declined 73% year-on-year.

 Nigeria (3.4% of revenue) 
  Echo-Lab, IDH's Nigerian subsidiary, saw its revenue for the first quarter 
  of the year more than double to record EGP 31 million in Q1 2023 from 
  EGP 15 million in Q1 2022. In local currency terms, revenue expanded a 
  solid 26% year-on-year. Top-line growth for the quarter was dual driven 
  as both test volumes and average revenue per test expanded versus the 
  same three months of 2022. More specifically, total tests performed in 
  the first quarter increased 16% year-on-year. Meanwhile, average revenue 
  per test increased 80% year-on-year in EGP terms and 9% year-on-year in 
  NGN terms. IDH's Nigerian subsidiary now boasts 12 fully operational branches 
  throughout the country, up from 10 branches as of 31 March 2022. 
 
  Sudan (1.0% of revenue) 
  IDH's operations in Sudan recorded revenue growth in EGP terms of 55% 
  reflecting a 119% year-on-year increase in average revenue per test in 
  the country. In SDG terms, revenues were up by 11% supported by a 57% 
  year-on-year rise in average revenue per test in local currency terms. 
  As at 31 March 2023, IDH's branches in the country stood at 18 up from 
  17 this time last year. IDH management continues to closely monitor the 
  evolving situation in the country and a detailed emergency response plan 
  is in place to safeguard IDH's staff and operations. Currently, 16 of 
  IDH's 18 branches in the country have temporarily halted operations. Only 
  two of the 18 branches, located in Madani and Port-Sudan , are currently 
  operational .

      -Cost of Sales 
       Cost of sales dropped 9% year-on-year in Q1 2023 to book EGP 591 million. 
       The decline in cost of sales for the period was primarily a result of 
       a 27% year-on-year decline in raw material expenses coupled with lower 
       Covid-19-related costs for the three-month period.

       Raw material costs including the cost of specialized analysis at other 
       laboratories (31% of consolidated cost of sales), came in as the second 
       largest contributor to cost of sales during the quarter, recording EGP 
       185 million compared to EGP 253 million in Q1 2022. As a percentage 
       of revenue, raw materials came in at 20.2%, down from 21.4% in the same 
       period of the previous year. The decline wholly reflects the high base 
       effect resulting from Covid-19-related test kits purchased during Q1 
       2022, when demand for IDH's Covid-19-related test offering was high. 
       Looking at conventional test kit prices, it is important to note that 
       the Company did register a rise in average prices for conventional test 
       kits throughout the first quarter of the year on the back of a weaker 
       EGP and rising inflation. Rising conventional test kit prices were only 
       partially mitigated by free test kits received during January 2023 from 
       one of IDH's largest suppliers, Siemens. 
 
       Wages and salaries including employee share of profits (32% share of 
       consolidated cost of sales) made up the largest share of total cost 
       of sales during the first quarter of 2023, increasing 14% year-on-year 
       to book EGP 190 million versus EGP 167 million in Q1 2022. The increase 
       in direct wages and salaries for the period was primarily driven by 
       increases in salaries and wages in Egypt, both due to higher than usual 
       annual wage increases and adjustments to partially compensate for rising 
       inflation as well as extra staffing costs to support the rollout of 
       new branches. Higher wages and salaries also in part reflected an increase 
       in Jordanian salaries due to the translation impact as a result of the 
       devaluation of the Egyptian pound over the past year. Finally, wages 
       and salaries in Nigeria also contributed to consolidated wages and salaries 
       expansion due to additional radiology staff hires, coupled with annual 
       salary increases.

       Direct depreciation and amortization costs (15% of consolidated cost 
       of sales) for the period booked EGP 88 million, increasing 37% year-on-year 
       from EGP 64 million in Q1 2022. Depreciation and amortization expenses 
       witnessed a notable increase from the same period of the previous year 
       primarily due to the rollout of new branches across IDH's network, as 
       the Company launched 56 new branches, 24 of which were launched during 
       the first quarter of 2023. 
 
       Other expenses (22% of consolidated cost of sales) for the quarter 
       decreased 23% year-on-year, reaching EGP 127 million in Q1 2023. Increases 
       in other expenses for the period came on the back of increased repair 
       & maintenance costs and cleaning costs, which combined accounted for 
       approximately 29% of overall other expenses for the quarter. Increases 
       in repair & maintenance costs and cleaning costs were further heightened 
       by the rollout of additional branches across IDH's network. 
 
       Gross Profit 
       IDH's gross profit booked EGP 325 million during Q1 2023, down 39% compared 
       to the same period of the previous year. The Company's gross profit 
       margin on revenue came in at 35% decreasing 10 percentage points year-on-year. 
       The drop in gross profitability for the period is primarily a reflection 
       of a post-Covid-19 normalisation in IDH's test mix, as well as the previously 
       discussed cost increases largely related to direct wages and salaries. 
 
       Selling, General and Administrative Expenses 
       Total SG&A outlays recorded during Q1 2023 amounted to EGP 196 million, 
       increasing 45% year-on-year. As a percentage of consolidated revenues, 
       SG&A expenses came in at 21% compared to 11% in Q1 2022. Increases in 
       SG&A expenses are mainly attributable to: 
        *    An increase in wages and salaries primarily due to an 
             increase in IDH's Board of Directors remuneration as 
             a result of the addition of a board member during the 
             second quarter of 2022, as well as increased salaries 
             in Nigeria to support the hire of new management. 
 
 
        *    An increase in accounting fees related to the 
             external auditor "PwC", reflecting both an increase 
             in the fees paid in US dollars as well as the 
             devaluation of the EGP versus the same period of last 
             year (average rate in Q1 2023 was 30.5 EGP/USD versus 
             16.5 EGP/USD in Q1 2022). 
 
 
        *    Increased consulting fees related to the Company's 
             2023 sustainability report. Additionally, one-off 
             expenses related to an information strategy agreement 
             executed in 2023 and legal fees related to the 
             Pakistan transaction. It is important to note that 
             these expenses have been impacted by several 
             devaluations throughout 2022 in IDH's home market of 
             Egypt. 
 
 
        *    Higher marketing and advertisement expenses, which 
             increased 43% year-on-year to reach EGP 32 million, 
             compared to EGP 23 million during Q1 2022. Increases 
             in advertising expenses were the result of marketing 
             efforts aimed at expediting the ramp-up of Al Borg 
             Scan's operations as well as supporting the rollout 
             of new branches in IDH's network. 
 
 
        *    During Q1 2023, IDH recorded other income of EGP 5 
             million versus other expenses of EGP 1 million in the 
             comparable three-month period of 2022. The figure is 
             partially related to a EGP 1.3 million liability 
             pertaining to a contract with Siemens to equip 
             Al-Borg Scan's Capital Business Park branch with 
             PET-CT equipment, which had weighed down other income 
             in the corresponding period of 2022.

       EBITDA 
       The Company's EBITDA(10) booked EGP 227 million during Q1 2023, down 
       51% year-on-year from the figure recorded in the same period of the 
       previous year. IDH's EBITDA margin came in at 25% for the quarter versus 
       40% in Q1 2022. Lower EBITDA profitability for the period mainly reflects 
       lower gross profitability coupled with the aforementioned increases 
       in SG&A expenses. 
 
       EBITDA by Country 
       In Egypt, EBITDA recorded EGP 198 million in Q1 2023, down 50% year-on-year 
       compared to the EGP 395 million in the same period of the previous year 
       on the back of decreased consolidated revenue from Egyptian operations. 
       EBITDA margin for the period declined to 27% in Q1 2023 from 45% in 
       Q1 2022. Lower profitability at the EBITDA level was dual driven by 
       decreased gross profitability as well as increased SG&A expenses, which 
       grew 47% year-on-year. 
 
       In Jordan, IDH's subsidiary, Biolab, booked an EBITDA of EGP 36 million 
       in the current quarter, down 52% year-on-year and with an associated 
       margin of 25%. In JOD terms, EBITDA declined 75% year-on-year during 
       the first quarter of 2023. Decreases in EBITDA and its margin reflect 
       lower gross profitability in Jordanian operations as a result of the 
       post-Covid-19 normalisation, in addition to increased SG&A expenses, 
       which increased 34% y-o-y to record EGP 25 million. 
 
       In Nigeria, EBITDA losses widened to EGP 8 million from EGP 1 million 
       in Q1 2022. Widening EBITDA losses were primarily driven by high levels 
       of inflation (in particular fuel inflation) which have weighed on IDH's 
       Nigerian operations over the past year, more than outweighing the venture's 
       consistent revenue growth. In local currency terms, EBITDA contracted 
       289% year-on-year in the first three months of 2023. 
 
       The Company's Sudanese operations reported positive EBITDA of EGP 2 
       million, up from EGP 0.1 million in the same period of the previous 
       year on the back of increased gross profitability. In SDG terms, EBITDA 
       recorded a 720% year-on-year expansion for the first quarter of the 
       year.

       (10) EBITDA is calculated as operating profit plus depreciation and 
       amortization. It is important to note that while in absolute terms the 
       EBITDA figure is identical when using IFRS or APM, its margin differs 
       between the two sets of performance indicators only for the comparable 
       period of 2022. Margins for Q1 2023 are identical across both IFRS and 
       APM. 
 
       Interest Income / Expense 
       IDH reported interest income of EGP 15 million in Q1 2023, a 66% year-on-year 
       decrease from the EGP 45 million recorded in the same period of the 
       previous year. Decreased interest income is primarily attributable to 
       lower cash balances as a result of the record cash dividend distributed 
       during the previous year. 
 
       Interest expense(11) booked EGP 43 million during Q1 2023, increasing 
       29% year-on-year from EGP 33 million one year prior. The increase is 
       mainly attributable to: 
        *    Increased interest on lease liabilities related to 
             IFRS 16 due to the rollout of new branches. 
 
 
        *    Higher interest expenses following the CBE decision 
             to increase rates by 1,000 bps since March 2022. It 
             is worth highlighting that IDH's interest bearing 
             debt balance increased to EGP 163 million as at 31 
             March 2023, from EGP 117 million at year-end 2022. 
             The increase in interest bearing debt is primarily 
             attributable to IDH's strategy of reducing foreign 
             currency risk by coming to an agreement 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 loan by Ahly United Bank - Egypt.

       Foreign Exchange 
       IDH booked a foreign exchange gain of EGP 109 million during Q1 2023, 
       up from EGP 61 million in the same period of the previous year. 
 
       Taxation 
       Tax expenses (income and deferred tax) came in at EGP 42 million during 
       Q1 2023, down from EGP 157 million in Q1 2022. IDH's effective tax rate 
       for the period stood at 20% in the current period, compared to 33% in 
       Q1 2022. The decrease in effective tax rate for the period was primarily 
       driven by the decline in undistributed reserves from Group's subsidiaries 
       compared to the same period of the previous year, which dropped due 
       to a special dividend paid to shareholders during the third quarter 
       of 2022 (see "Deferred Tax Liabilities Analysis" table below). It is 
       worth noting that there is no tax payable for IDH's two companies at 
       the holding level, while tax was paid on profits generated by its operating 
       subsidiaries (Egypt 22.5%, Jordan 21%, Nigeria 30% and Sudan 30%).

       from EGP 314 million in Q1 2022. The Company's net profit margin stood 
       at 18%, down 8 points from 27% in Q1 2022. 
 

ii. Balance Sheet Analysis

 
 Assets 
  Property, Plant and Equipment 
  IDH recorded gross property, plant and equipment (PPE) of EGP 2,425 
  million as at 31 March 2023, up from EGP 2,208 million as at 31 December 
  2022. The rise in CAPEX as a share of revenues during Q1 2023 is partially 
  attributable to the EGP 42 million spent on new radiology branches in 
  Egypt, as well as the EGP 134 million translation effect (associated 
  with Jordan, Sudan, and Nigeria) which resulted from the Egyptian Pounds 
  devaluation throughout the past twelve months.

  Accounts Receivable and Provisions 
  As at 31 March 2023, IDH booked accounts receivable of EGP 467 million, 
  up from EGP 395 million as of 31 December 2022. The Company's receivables' 
  Days on Hand (DoH) recorded 122 days, compared to 124 days at year-end 
  2022. 
 
  Provisions for doubtful accounts recorded during Q1 2023 stood at EGP 
  11 million, up 49% year-on-year from EGP 7 million in Q1 2022. The increase 
  in provisions reflect the slowdown in collections driven by the current 
  economic condition in Egypt region. 
 
  Inventory 
  As of the end of Q1 2023, IDH recorded an inventory balance of EGP 296 
  million, up from EGP 265 million as of year-end 2022. In parallel, Days 
  Inventory Outstanding (DIO) rose to 144 days from 127 days as at 31 
  December 2022. The increase in DIO was driven by management initiatives 
  to accumulate inventory as a part of its strategy to hedge against ongoing 
  inflation. 
 
  Cash and Net Debt/Cash 
  Cash balances booked as at 31 March 2023 remained relatively stable 
  compared to those as at year-end 2022, recording EGP 813 million.

  Note: Interest Bearing Debt includes accrued interest for each period. 
 
  Lease liabilities and financial obligations on property recorded EGP 
  782 million as at 31 March 2023, up from EGP 727 as at year-end 2022. 
  The increase in lease liabilities is primarily due to the rollout of 
  24 new branches across IDH's network. 
 
  Meanwhile, financial obligations related to equipment decreased to EGP 
  278 million, from EGP 335 million as at 31 December 2022. The decline 
  in financial obligations related to equipment reflects the early repayment 
  of IDH's contractual obligations with General Electric (GE) as part 
  of the Company's efforts to limit its foreign currency exposure. To 
  finance the settlement, IDH utilized a bridge loan facility, with half 
  of the amount due funded internally and the other half provided by a 
  loan from Ahly United Bank - Egypt. 
 
  Finally, interest bearing debt recorded EGP 163 million, up from EGP 
  117 million as at year-end 2022. The increase in interest bearing debt 
  was primarily driven by additional usage of MTL to support Al Borg Scan's 
  expansion. It is worth highlighting that interest-bearing debt for both 
  periods excluded accrued interest. 
 
  Liabilities 
  Accounts Payable(17) 
  IDH recorded accounts payable of EGP 277 million as at 31 March 2023, 
  remaining largely stable from the EGP 270 million recorded as at year-end 
  2022. Simultaneously, the Group's Days Payable Outstanding (DPO) decreased 
  to 140 from 151 as at 31 December 2022. 
 
  Put Option 
  The put option current liability is related to 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. Biolab's put option liability 
  decreased following the significant decline in the venture's EBITDA 
  for the period. 
 
  The put option non-current liability is related to 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). 
 
  (14) The net cash/(debt) balance is calculated as cash and cash equivalent 
  balances including financial assets at amortised cost, less interest-bearing 
  debt (medium term loans), finance lease and Right-of-use liabilities. 
  (15) As outlined in Note 18 of IDH's Consolidated Financial Statements, 
  some term deposits and treasury bills cannot be accessed for over 3 
  months and are therefore not treated as cash. Term deposits which cannot 
  be accessed for over 3 months stood at EGP 113 million in Q1 2023, versus 
  EGP 123 million as at year-end 2022. Meanwhile, treasury bills not accessible 
  for over 3 months stood at EGP 342 million in Q1 2023, up from EGP 296 
  million in FY 2022. 
  (16) IDH's interest bearing debt as at 31 March 2023 included EGP 172 
  million to its facility with Ahli United Bank Egypt (AUBE) (outstanding 
  loan balances are excluding accrued interest for the period). 
  (17) Accounts payable is calculated based on average payables at the 
  end of each period.

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 31 March 2023. 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 relationship, there is no expectation that this will happen in next 18 months. The option has no expiry date.

20. Financial instruments

The Group has reviewed the financial assets and liabilities held at 31 March 2023. It has been deemed that the carrying amounts for all financial instruments are a reasonable approximation of fair value. All financial instruments are deemed Level 3.

Contingent liabilities

As required by article 134 of the labour law on Vocational Guidance and Training issued by the Egyptian Government in 2003, Al Borg Laboratory Company and Al Mokhtabar Company for Medical Labs are required to conform to the requirements set out by that law to provide 1% of net profits each year into a training fund. Integrated Diagnostics Holdings plc have taken legal advice and considered market practice in Egypt relating to this and more specifically whether the vocational training courses undertaken by Al Borg Laboratory Company, Al Mokhtabar Company for Medical Labs and Integrated medical analysis suggest that obligations have been satisfied through training programmes undertaken in-house by those entities. Since the issue of the law on Vocational Guidance and Training, Al Borg Laboratory Company, Al Mokhtabar Company for Medical Labs and Integrated medical analysis have not been requested by the government to pay or have voluntarily paid any amounts into the external training fund. Should a claim be brought against Al Borg Laboratory Company, Al Mokhtabar Company for Medical Labs and Integrated medical analysis, an to up to 46m EGP could become payable, however this is not considered probable.

21. Earnings per share

 
                                                          For the three months ended 31 March

The Company has no potential diluted shares as at 31 March 2023 and 31 March 2022, therefore; the earnings per diluted share are equivalent to basic earnings per share.

22. Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the steering committee that makes strategic decisions.

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

The Group operates in four geographic areas, Egypt, Sudan, Jordan, and Nigeria. As a provider of medical diagnostic services, IDH's operations in Sudan are not subject to sanctions. The revenue split, EBITDA split (being the key profit measure reviewed by CODM) net profit and loss between the four regions is set out below.

23. Important events

The Central Bank of Egypt increased the interest rate by 200 points, to reach 19.25% instead of 17.25%. This was by a decision of the Monetary Policy Committee, according to the meeting held on March 30, 202 3

24. Subsequent event

During April 2023, an armed conflict began in Sudan that led to security unrest across the country. Business has been temporarily frozen in the branches of the Sudan Laboratory Company and Ultra Lab until further notice, which will greatly affect the profits of the geographical sector in the subsequent period. There is no damage to the material assets to date. The Group's management is closely monitoring the situation and is currently evaluating the impact of these events on the Group's business results and activities.
