“Recent milestones like the imminent Miqyas Al Dhad progress and high-level ministerial engagements in Indonesia and Senegal
demonstrate how Alef Education is redefining K-12 learning. With a debt-free balance sheet and a transparent dividend
commitment, we continue to invest in the next wave of digital education for students and shareholders alike.”

The company’s financial outlook remains unchanged from what was disclosed in Q1 2025. It expects a 3-4 per cent growth in
revenue for the FY2025. Consistent with its seasonal billing cycle, where the start of the academic year in September drives the
bulk of annual revenue growth, H2 is typically expected to generate higher revenue. EBITDA for the year is expected to increase
by 8-9 per cent, generating a higher margin of 70 per cent. Net Profit is expected to increase by 6-7 per cent.

Miqyas Al Dhad set for launch in Q4

Miqyas Al Dhad, the region’s first Arabic reading scale aimed at advancing Arabic reading proficiency for Grades 1–12 Arabic
speakers, is now 87 per cent complete and set to launch in Q4 2025.

Developed in collaboration with Arab countries’ education ministries, the initiative supports Alef Education’s growth strategy by
creating new, sustainable revenue streams in Arabic language proficiency.
A successful Field Test Survey was conducted in the first half of 2025, involving 110,000 students from 204 schools in 70 cities
across nine countries. Early results show a strong demand for Miqyas Al Dhad and findings have been shared with 12 government
bodies. Alef has signed seven MOUs with major publishing and assessment firms.

Strategic alliances

During the first half, Alef Education strengthened its reputation as a trusted global leader in AI-powered K-12 learning through a
series of high-profile collaborations, including a landmark alliance with Microsoft and Core42, the sovereign-cloud and AI-
infrastructure arm of G42.
By combining Microsoft’s global cloud platform with Core42’s sovereign-cloud capabilities, Alef Education is positioned to
accelerate growth, deliver cutting-edge AI-driven learning experiences, and unlock regional and international expansion
opportunities.
