Arab Banking Corporation (B.S.C.) INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 SEPTEMBER 2025 (REVIEWED) Ernst & Young - Middle East P.O. Box 140 East Tower, 10 th Floor Bahrain World Trade Center Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain Tel: +973 1753 5455 Fax: +973 1753 5405 [email protected] https://www.ey.com C.R. No. 29977-1 REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF ARAB BANKING CORPORATION (B.S.C.) Introduction We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Arab Banking Corporation (B.S.C.) [the "Bank"] and its subsidiaries [together the "Group"] as at 30 September 2025, comprising of the interim consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 September 2025, and the related interim consolidated statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income for the three-month period and nine-month period then ended, and interim consolidated statements of cash flows and changes in equity for the nine-month period then ended, and explanatory notes. The Bank's Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review. Scope of review We 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. Conclusion Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34. 11 November 2025 Manama, Kingdom of Bahrain A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited Arab Banking Corporation (B.S.C.)

Most of the jurisdictions in which the Group operates have enacted the Pillar 2 legislation, of which Kingdom of Bahrain would be the most impactful for the Group, since there was no tax previously enacted in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Arab Banking Corporation (B.S.C.) NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 September 2025 (Reviewed) All figures in US$ million 8 TAXATION (continued) The Kingdom of Bahrain issued Decree-Law no (11) of 2024 (the "Law") on 1 September 2024 introducing Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax ("DMTT") effective from the year 2025 on entities which are part of MNE Group with annual revenues of EUR 750 million or more. This was followed by Executive regulations issued on 15 December 2024 under decision no (172) of 2024. The Group has performed an assessment and estimated the top-up tax charge for the period ended 30 September 2025 in line with the respective regulations and based on OECD guidelines. As the regulatory framework continues to evolve and implementation guidance is further clarified, the Group continues to monitor developments and assess the impact of evolving Pillar 2 tax regulations on its future financial performance and resultant tax obligations. 9 OPERATING SEGMENTS For management purposes, the Group is organised into five operating segments which are based on business units and their activities. The Group has accordingly been structured to place its activities under the distinct divisions which are as follows: - MENA subsidiaries cover retail, corporate and treasury activities of subsidiaries in North Africa and - International wholesale banking encompasses corporate and structured finance, trade finance, Islamic banking services and syndications; - Group treasury comprises treasury business of Bahrain Head Office, New York and London; - ABC Brasil primarily reflects the commercial banking and treasury activities of the Brazilian subsidiary Banco ABC Brasil S.A., focusing on the corporate and middle market segments in Brazil and its related holding company; and - Others includes activities of the Head Office, Arab Financial Services Company B.S.C.

Financial instruments in level 1 The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. A market is regarded as active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in Level 1. Financial instruments in level 2 The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2. Arab Banking Corporation (B.S.C.) NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 30 September 2025 (Reviewed) All figures in US$ million 10 FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued) Financial instruments in level 3 The fair value of financial instruments that are neither traded in an active market nor have observable inputs is determined by valuation techniques. These valuation techniques include an internal model which uses observable market yield curves and expected loss methodology for securities. Quotes provided by fund administrators are used for funds valuation. Transfers between level 1, level 2 and level 3 There were no transfers between level 1, level 2 and level 3 during the current and prior period. 11 CREDIT COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT ITEMS a) Exposure (after applying credit conversion factor) and ECL by stage 30 September 2025 (Reviewed) Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Total Credit commitments and contingencies 4,353 73 36 4,462 ECL allowance 8 8 15 31 31 December 2024 (Audited) Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Total Credit commitments and contingencies 4,179 83 38 4,300 ECL allowance 8 11 10 29 An analysis of movement in the ECL allowance during the period are as follows: Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Total As at 1 January 2025 ECL movements for the period - net 8 - 11 (3) 10 5 29 2 As at 30 September 2025 (reviewed) 8 8 15 31 Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3 Total As at 1 January 2024 ECL movements for the period - net 8 - 13 (1) 11 1 32 - As at 30 September 2024 (reviewed) 8 12 12 32 Arab Banking Corporation (B.S.C.)
