REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ABU DHABI NATIONAL OIL COMPANY FOR DISTRIBUTION PJSC Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Abu Dhabi National Oil Company for Distribution PJSC ("ADNOC Distribution" or "the Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "the Group") as at 31 March 2025 and the related interim condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the three-month period then ended, and the interim condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three-month period then ended and other explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim condensed consolidated financial information in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim condensed consolidated financial information based on our review.
Scope of reviewWe conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
ConclusionBased on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, 'Interim Financial Reporting' as issued by the IASB.

Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)
The following new and revised IFRSs, which became effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025, have been applied in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements:
Early adoption of amendments to IAS 21 - Lack of Exchangeability
An entity is impacted by the amendments when it has a transaction or an operation in a foreign currency that is not exchangeable into another currency at a measurement date for a specified purpose. A currency is exchangeable when there is an ability to obtain the other currency (with a normal administrative delay), and the transaction would take place through a market or exchange mechanism that creates enforceable rights and obligations. In 2024, the Group has early adopted amendments to IAS 21 in relation to operations of its subsidiary based in Egypt.
Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended 31 March 2025 (continued)
Application of new and revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) (continued) New and amended IFRS Standards in issue but not yet effective and not early adopted
IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
IFRS 18 includes requirements for all entities applying IFRS for the presentation and disclosure of information in financial statements. IFRS 18 was issued in April 2024 and applies to an annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2027.
Amendment to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 - Classification and measurement of financial instruments
The amendments address matters identified during the post-implementation review of the classification and measurement requirements of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. These amendments were issued in May 2024 and applies to an annual reporting period beginning on or after 1 January 2026.
Management anticipates that these new standards and amendments will be adopted in the Group's consolidated financial statements as and when they are applicable and adoption of these new standards and amendments, may have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group in the period of initial application.
Summary of material accounting policies
Statement of compliance
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting and comply with the applicable requirements of the laws in the UAE.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024. In addition, results for the three-month period ended 31 March 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the financial year ending 31 December 2025.
Basis of preparation
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in UAE Dirhams (AED), which is the Company's functional currency and the Group's presentation currency, and all values are rounded to the nearest thousands (AED'000) except when otherwise indicated.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis.
The accounting policies used in the preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied to the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, except for the policies disclosed below and the adoption of new standards and interpretations effective 1 January 2025.
Basis of Consolidation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Company:
Has power over the investee
Is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement
Has the ability to use its power to affect its returns
The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.
Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended 31 March 2025 (continued)
Summary of material accounting policies (continued)
Basis of Consolidation (continued)
When the Company has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it considers that it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Company's voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:
The size of the Company's holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders
Potential voting rights held by the Company, other vote holders or other parties
Rights arising from other contractual arrangements
Any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Company has, or does not have, the current ability to direct the relevant activities at the time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders' meetings
Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Specifically, the results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in profit or loss from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with the Group's accounting policies. All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between the members of the Group are eliminated on consolidation.
Non-controlling interests
Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group's equity therein. Those interests of noncontrolling shareholders that are present ownership interests entitling their holders to a proportionate share of net assets upon liquidation may initially be measured at fair value or at the non-controlling interests' proportionate share of the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. The choice of measurement is made on an acquisition by-acquisition basis. Other non-controlling interests are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to acquisition, the carrying amount of noncontrolling interests is the amount of those interests at initial recognition plus the noncontrolling interests' share of subsequent changes in equity.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of the subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended 31 March 2025 (continued)
3. Summary of material accounting policies (continued)
Income tax
Current tax and deferred tax are recognised as income or expense in the profit or loss for the year, except in cases in which the tax results from a process or an event that is recognised at the same time or in a different year outside the profit or loss, whether in other comprehensive income or in equity directly or business combination.
Current income tax
The current tax for the current year and prior years and that have not been paid are recognised as a liability, but if the taxes that have already been paid in the current year or prior years are excess of the value payable for these years, this increase is recognised as an asset. The taxable current liabilities (assets) for the current year and prior years are measured at expected value paid to (recovered from) the tax authority, using the current tax rates (and tax laws) or in the process to be issued by the end of the financial year. Tax assets and liabilities are set-off only when certain conditions are met.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax is not recognised for:
The initial recognition of goodwill.
The initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that:
Is not a business combination.
Does not affect neither accounting nor taxable profit (or loss).
Temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Future taxable profits are determined based on the Group's future business plans. Deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date, and recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences. The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are set-off only if certain conditions are met.
Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements of the Group entities, transactions in currencies other than the Group's functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At each reporting date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for:
Exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings relating to assets under construction for future productive use, which are included in the cost of those assets when they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs on those foreign currency borrowings
Exchange differences on transactions entered into to hedge certain foreign currency risks
Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended 31 March 2025 (continued)
Summary of material accounting policies (continued)
Foreign currencies (continued)
Exchange differences on monetary items receivable from or payable to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future (therefore forming part of the net investment in the foreign operation), which are recognised initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal or partial disposal of the net investment
For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group's foreign operations are translated at exchange rates prevailing on the reporting date. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in which case the exchange rates at the date of transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a foreign exchange translation reserve (allocated proportionately to owners of the company and non-controlling interest).
On the disposal of a foreign operation, all of the exchange differences accumulated in a foreign exchange translation reserve in respect of that operation attributable to the owners of the Company are reclassified to profit or loss. In addition, in relation to a partial disposal of a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation that does not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences is reattributed to non-controlling interests and are not recognised in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals, the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences is reclassified to profit or loss.
Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate. Exchange differences arising are recognised in other comprehensive income.
4 Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
In preparing these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies, and the key sources of estimates uncertainty were the same as those applied in the Group consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024, except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations effective 1 January 2025.

Segment reporting Operating segments
The Group's operating segments are established on the basis of those components that are evaluated regularly by the Board of Directors, considered to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The CODM monitors the operating results of the Group's operating segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on revenues, gross profit, net profit and a broad range of key performance indicators in addition to segment profitability and is measured consistently with profit or loss in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
Based on the information reported to the Group's senior management for the allocation of resources, marketing strategies, management reporting lines and measurement of performance of business, the reportable segments under IFRS 8 were identified as below:
Commercial (B2B) - sale of petroleum products and ancillary products to commercial and government customers, the provision of aviation fuel and fuelling services to strategic customers, and the provision of fuelling services to the Parent Company's civil aviation customers.
Retail (B2C) - sale of gasoline and petroleum products, convenience store sales, car wash and other car care services, oil change services, vehicle inspection services and property leasing and management through the retail sites.
These segments are the basis on which the Group reports its primary segment information. Transactions between segments are conducted at the rates determined by management taking into consideration the cost of funds.
Segment revenue reported represents revenue generated from external customers. There were no inter-segment sales in current and previous period. Operating profit is the measure reported to the Board of Directors for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance.
