                 (1) EBITDA is profit for the period, excluding the impact of finance
                 cost, finance income, and depreciation and amortization expenses.


               Balance sheet remains solid, with net debt/EBITDA comfortably
               within Company’s target ratio
               The Company recorded a favourable net working capital balance of

               AED -191.3 million as of 30 June 2024, equating to c.-9.0% as a
               percentage of annualized revenues. As at 30 June 2024, net debt stood at

               AED 2,947.1 million, from AED 2,980.5 million at the end of December
               2023. This translates to a trailing twelve-month net debt/EBITDA ratio
               of 2.05x, significantly below the Company’s debt covenant of 5.0x.
