15 November 2015 | Cairo | Egypt Kuwait Holding Company (EKHO.CA on the Egyptian Exchange and EKHOLDING on the Kuwaiti Exchange), one of the MENA region’s leading investment companies, reported today its consolidated results for the third quarter and first nine months of 2015.

The company reported Attributable Net Income of USD 5.5 million in Q3 2015, a 61.9% year-on-year decline, on Consolidated Revenues of USD 71.1 million. Year-to-date, EKH accordingly reports Attributable Net Income of USD 33.1 million in 9M 2015, a 32.6% y-o-y decrease that reflects a basket of factors including low oil prices and exceptionally low utilization rates at fertilizer producer AlexFert due to supply constraints on natural gas in the first nine months of 2015.

Attributable Net Income

Comments from the Chairman, Mr. Moataz Al-Alfi

(USD Millions)

I am increasingly optimistic that we will look back on the first nine months of 2015 as one of the most challenging periods through which EKH has ever passed. A nationwide shortage of natural gas crippled operations at AlexFert, one of our most economically important investments; persistently low oil prices are a new macro reality.

Q3 Q3 2014 2015

9M 9M 2014 2015

AlexFert, historically a main contributor to our top line, was cut off from natural gas supplies during the third quarter, resulting in a total shutdown of the plant for the quarter and a c. 23% utilization rate for 9M 2015. Against this backdrop, careful attention from management teams at the operational level across our portfolio — including outstanding cash management at NatEnergy, allowed us to maintain profitability, highlighting the skill of our teams, the soundness of EKH’s strategy, and the quality of our diversified portfolio of investments. Moreover, I note that our bottom line performance has been impacted by both the conversion of EGPdenominated revenues into USD for our financial reporting, while the expiration of tax holidays almost entirely offset the benefit of a lower tax rate.

EGYPT KUWAIT HOLDING COMPANY EARNINGS RELEASE Q3 2015

Why, then, am I optimistic, albeit very cautiously so? As I write this, AlexFert reports it that has received its full contracted daily allocation of natural gas since 1 November 2015. That follows the government of Egypt’s announcement that it has brought into service a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) to directly feed the national grid, with natural gas earmarked solely for industrial use. We remain in dialogue with state authorities and are guardedly optimistic that if supplies continue uninterrupted through year’s end, we may have an adequate planning horizon into next year. Against this backdrop, we will continue to search for opportunities to diversify and deepen our exposure to potentially high-growth sectors while ensuring the efficient allocation of capital and resources. We have, in this respect, c. USD 185 million in cash on hand to support this drive to create or unlock shareholder value. The unlocking of current value will come in part through the buyout of minority shareholders. Having recently concluded the acquisition of an additional 18% stake in NatGas (bringing our current holding to 75%), we will also capture value from our current portfolio through both process and operational improvements. As an investment company, we are also mindful of significant opportunities for both add-on investments and greenfield opportunities that would have significant impacts on the company’s medium-term profitability and long-term returns. As we do so, our emphasis will be on exposure to sectors that offer smoother earnings curves and better earnings visibility. At the same time, we remain optimistic about the outlook for the nation’s energy sector, where subsidy reform and the government’s drive to encourage exploration have made clear the case for continued investment in this industry. Similarly, the state’s drive to double the number of gridconnected households may provide an impetus to pursue both upstream and downstream opportunities, both within and in addition to our existing portfolio. Ultimately, I am confident that EKH’s ability to define a clear investment thesis, execute compelling transactions, and manage investments with strong company-level teams in place will allow us to capture new opportunities heading into 2016, particularly with asset prices now appearing more reasonable.

The Fertilizer & Petrochemical segment continued to be weighed down by limited capacity utilization at AlexFert — c. 14% during Q3 2015 — on the back of the nationwide shortage in the natural gas supply. The effect is clearly reflected on the segment’s performance, with revenues in Q3 2015 easing 24% y-o-y to USD 32.4 million from USD 42.6 million in the same period last year. On a nine-month basis, revenues stood at USD 120.1 million, down 36% compared to the USD 187.9 million in 9M 2014. Attributable Net Income for Q3 2015 surged to USD 4.1 million from USD 0.9 million during the same period the previous year on the back of growth at Sprea Misr that offset the slump at AlexFert. Sprea continues to outperform management expectations, reporting revenues of USD 74.8 million in 9M 2015, a 2% y-o-y increase. Starting in 2015, Sprea saw its tax holiday expire, with the company incurring some USD 5.1 million in income taxes during 9M 2015 compared to only USD 1.6 million in the same period last year. Sprea nevertheless posted a 28% y-o-y increase in its bottom line, which reached USD 5.5 million, underscoring the company’s sound strategy and strong management team. Sprea continues to exercise a beneficial pricing strategy and pursue increased market share given the barriers to entry to the methanol-based product market. With imports constrained by the ongoing foreign-exchange shortage, Sprea’s placement as an import-substitution play and low international prices for its key raw material leave management optimistic that it will maintain margins going forward. Furthermore, the company exports almost 30% of its production, giving it a natural (if partial) hedge against currency volatility. Building on the success of this plant, Sprea has expanded into the wood sheets business, manufactured with Formica sheets and imported wood. This final product is higher up the value chain and will command strong margins. Sprea is also exploring organic growth options for this business, with plans to add a third production line that will bring capacity to 3 million sheets per annum, up from the current 2 million sheets per annum. Furthermore, the launch of the sulfonated naphthalene formaldehyde (SNF) production is on track to begin in Q1 2016. SNF is a key additive for ready-mix cement, allowing ready-mix to dry faster and smoother. The product is not currently produced in Egypt, and given the relatively low CAPEX required to start operations, Sprea will be positioned as a cost-effective local supplier ready to capitalize on the growth of the cement and real estate industries and the drive for import substitution at the national level. Meanwhile, the national shortage of natural gas had a particularly pronounced impact on AlexFert in Q3 2015, forcing a complete shutdown of the factory as supplies to the facility came to a total halt. Supplies have returned in full since the beginning of November, allowing AlexFert to operate at full capacity for the first time this year. This comes just in time for AlexFert to supply the market for peak planting season of the nation’s winter crops. Moreover, an earmark for exports post the satisfaction of AlexFert’s domestic quota would position the company to benefit from any potential devaluation of the Egyptian pound.

Energy & Energy-Related Egypt Kuwait Holding has investments in three companies in the Energy and Energy-Related Segment: NatEnergy, Tri-Ocean Energy (TOE), and the Egyptian Tanker Company (ETC). EKH builds and operates gas distribution networks in Egypt through its 100%-owned subsidiary NatEnergy, which covers a wide spectrum of activities, including the transportation of natural gas to power stations and the independent production of power. The company’s energy investments also cover oil and gas exploration and production through TOE — which enjoys access to a significant reserve potential spread across Egypt and South Sudan — and local and global marine transport of crude oil and petroleum products through ETC. Tri-Ocean recently finalized an acquisition that sees it enter into the upstream gas sector as a developer and operator for the first time.

In the third quarter of 2015, the Energy & Energy-Related segment reported a 23% decrease in revenues over Q3 2014. For 9M 2015, the segment posted revenues of USD 127.3 million, down 22% y-o-y. This came on the back of lower oil prices worldwide, which are down more than 50% y-o-y. Nonetheless, the segment maintained healthy margins, reflecting the company’s resilience against the headwinds that hit our operations. NatEnergy, the segment’s energy distribution play, witnessed significant improvement y-o-y largely due to operational efficiencies. The company recorded revenues and bottom-line growth of 27% and 227%, respectively. NatEnergy is targeting growth of its household client base from the current 1 million customers to 1.5-1.6 million customers as it looks to capitalize on the state-backed drive to connect more homes to the natural gas grid. Key here is a very favorable payable-receivable cycle whereby NatEnergy is able to generate interest income on customer payments collected on behalf of the state prior to remittance of the same. Efficient cash management in this respect has allowed NatEnergy to increase by c. 5x its net interest income, making cash management a key hallmark of the business. Meanwhile, Kahraba continued to deliver an impressive performance, having recorded a 359% increase in attributable net income. Kahraba is on track to add generation capacity in increments (beginning with 8 MW in Q2 2016) that will bring it to 94 MW in 2017. Management has secured the necessary approvals, land, and gas supply contracts. Looking ahead, management is very optimistic about the electricity business in Egypt, the only sector in the country with a clear five-year pricing plan. Kahraba is very open to expansion opportunities higher up the generation chain, particularly if opportunities to lock in gas supplies directly from the private sector were to present themselves. Management again notes that Kahraba is now a profit-making business.

Egypt Kuwait Holding’s Diversified segment includes a wide array of strategic investments, from cement production, telecommunications, and infrastructure, to cooling systems and insurance. In line with the company’s strategy to invest in local businesses with large and defensible market positions, EKH owns c. 30% of the Building Materials Industries Company (BMIC) in Egypt, a country home to the largest cement market in Africa, with total consumption of c. 50 mtpa. Other group assets in the sector include Delta Insurance, Al-Shorouk for Melamine and Resins, Globe Telecommunications, Gas Chill, and Bawabet Al Kuwait Holding Company.

The widening year-on-year of the net loss contributed by the Diversified segment came as performance at cement producer BMIC slipped on the back of deteriorating market conditions, while the market effect had a pronounced impact on portfolios of publicly traded securities held by various portfolio companies in the segment. Management notes, however, that while the segment’s contribution to EKH’s bottom line stood at a Net Attributable Loss of USD 5.6 million in Q3 2015, the contribution on a full-year basis should be positive on the back of dividend income recorded in the first and second quarters of the year.

Recent Corporate Developments Acquisition of an additional 18% stake in NatGas As part of EKH’s strategy to unlock shareholder value in the existing portfolio, management is targeting the acquisition of minority shareholder stakes in growing businesses. The company has accordingly concluded the acquisition of an additional 18% stake in NatGas, bringing EKH’s total ownership to 75%. EK Holding Finalizes USD 12.2 million Capital Increase The Listing Committee of the Egyptian Stock Exchange approved the company’s recently concluded USD 12.2 million capital increase via issuing new shares. The company’s issued and paid in capital has accordingly risen to USD 256.1 million through the issuance of 48.7 million new shares, the total number of shares increased by c. 5% to 1,042 million shares. The new shares will be priced at USD 0.25 and are funded by the company’s 2014 retained earnings. Proceeds from the capital increase will be used to finance the company’s Employee Stock Ownership Program (ESOP) approved in September 2014. Developing Leaders Program In a nod to the fundamental importance of people to our businesses, our Human Resources Department has put into place a Developing Leaders Program for EKH and our subsidiaries that will better allow management to identify top performers and help them grow their careers with the Group. This program is a key step in our institutionalization drive, as we have simultaneously implemented a number of employee-relations initiatives and training programs.

Outlook Management believes that lower oil prices are likely to persist for the remainder of 2015 and into 2016. However, with the recent uptick in natural gas production at ONS, and given that price adjustments could materialize in line with the new terms negotiated between the government and gas players ENI and Edison, Tri-Ocean’s natural gas operations could see a major turnaround and help offset the downturn in oil. Management will, however, continue to monitor the state’s pricing structure for natural gas producers before undertaking new investments. Management considers it unlikely that urea prices will rise in the near future; however, the outlook for this segment is reasonably secure — provided that gas remains available at the rates experienced in the early days of Q4 2015 — as the allowable price for sales on the domestic market, while low, are quite close to international prices. In the meantime, management is confident that as Egypt’s economy continues to grow, the company’s performance will continue to reflect the benefits of diversification. Downside risks remain the prospect of a significant devaluation of the Egyptian pound and a continued lack of clarity on monetary policy.
