REVIEW REPORT ON THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To: The Shareholders of Banque Saudi Fransi (A Saudi Joint Stock Company)

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position of Banque Saudi Fransi

Group
0 June 2025, and the related

condensed interim consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended 30 June 2025, and the related condensed interim consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these condensed interim consolidated financial information in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34,

is to express a conclusion on these condensed interim consolidated financial information based on our review.

Scope of review



Review of Interim as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

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 that are endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 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 condensed interim consolidated financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

    The consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024, were prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as endorsed in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and other standards and pronouncements that are endorsed by the SOCPA. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are expressed in Saudi Arabian Riyals (

    ) and amounts are rounded to the nearest thousand.

  3. Basis of consolidation

    The new Companies Law issued through Royal Decree M/132 on 1/12/1443H (corresponding to June 30, 2022) (hereinafter referred as "the Law") came into force on 26/6/1444H (corresponding to January 19, 2023). For certain provisions of the Law, full compliance is expected not later than two years from 26/6/1444H (corresponding to January 19, 2023). The management has assessed the impact of the New Companies Law and amended its Articles of Association / By-Laws for changes to align the Articles to the provisions of the Law. General Assembly on December 23, 2024 approved on amending the Bank's Bylaws to comply with the new Companies Law, and rearranging the articles and numbering them to be compatible with the proposed amendments

    The condensed interim consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Bank and its subsidiaries. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as that of the Bank, using consistent accounting policies. Adjustments are made wherever necessary in the financial statements of the subsidiaries to align with the Bank's condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

    Subsidiaries are the entities that are controlled by the Bank. The Bank controls an entity when it is exposed, or has a right, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over that entity.

    Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Bank and cease to be consolidated from the date on which the control is transferred from the Bank. The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed during the period, if any, are consolidated in the condensed interim consolidated statement of income from the effective date of the acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

    Balances between the Bank and its subsidiaries, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the condensed interim consolidated financial statements. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

  4. Material Accounting Policies and Estimates

The accounting policies, estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Group

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of January 01, 2025. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. Several amendments apply for the first time in 2025, but do not have a significant impact on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Group.

  4. Derivatives

    In the ordinary course of business, the Bank utilizes the following derivative financial instruments for both trading and hedging purposes:

    1. Swaps

      Swaps are commitments to exchange one set of cash flows for another. For commission rate swaps, counterparties generally exchange fixed and floating rate commission payments in a single currency without exchanging principal. For currency rate swaps, fixed and floating commission payments and principal are exchanged in different currencies.

    2. Forwards and futures

      Forwards and futures are contractual agreements to either buy or sell a specified currency, commodity or financial instrument at a specified price and date in the future. Forwards are customized contracts transacted in the over the counter market. Foreign currency and commission rate futures are transacted in standardized amounts on regulated exchanges and changes in futures contract values are settled daily.

    3. Forward rate agreements

      Forward rate agreements are individually negotiated commission rate contracts that call for a cash settlement for the difference between a contracted commission rate and the market rate on a specified future date, on a notional principal for an agreed period of time.

    4. Options

Options are contractual agreements under which the seller (writer) grants the purchaser (holder) the right, but not the obligation, to either buy or sell at fixed future date or at any time during a specified period, a specified amount of a currency, commodity or financial instrument at a pre-determined price.

Held for trading purposes

Most of the Bank's derivative trading activities relate to sales, positioning and arbitrage. Sales activities involve offering products to customers, Banks and other financial institutions in order, inter alia, to enable them to transfer, modify or reduce current and future risks. Positioning involves managing market risk positions with the expectation of profiting from favorable movements in prices, rates or indices. Arbitrage involves identifying, with the expectation of profiting from price differentials between markets or products. The Bank also holds structured derivatives which are fully back to back in accordance with the Bank's risk management strategy.

  1. Derivatives (continued) Held for hedging purposes

    The Bank has adopted a comprehensive system for the measurement and the management of risk. Part of the risk management process involves managing the Bank's exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange and commission rates to reduce its exposure to currency and commission rate risks to an acceptable level as determined by the Board of Directors in accordance with the guidelines issued by SAMA.

    The Board of Directors has established the levels of currency risk by setting limits on counterparty and currency position exposures. Positions are monitored on a daily basis and hedging strategies are used to ensure positions are maintained within the established limits. The Board of Directors has also established the level of commission rate risk by setting commission rate sensitivity limits. Commission rate exposure in terms of the sensitivity is reviewed on a periodic basis and hedging strategies are used to reduce the exposure within the established limits.

    As part of its asset and liability management the Bank uses derivatives for hedging purposes in order to adjust its own exposure to currency and commission rate risks. This is generally achieved by hedging specific transactions as well as strategic hedging against overall consolidated statement of financial position exposures. Strategic hedging does not qualify for special hedge accounting and the related derivatives are accounted for as held for trading.

    The Bank uses forward foreign exchange contracts and currency rate swaps to hedge against specifically identified currency risks. In addition, the Bank uses commission rate swaps and commission rate futures to hedge against the commission rate risk arising from specifically identified fixed commission rate exposures. The Bank also uses commission rate swaps to hedge against the cash flow risk arising on certain floating rate exposures. In all such cases, the hedging relationship and objective, including details of the hedged items and hedging instrument are formally documented and the transactions are accounted for as fair value or cash flow hedges.

    Cash flow hedges

    The Bank is exposed to variability in future special commission income cash flows on non-trading assets and liabilities which bear variable commission rate. The Bank uses commission rate swaps as cash flow hedges of these commission rate risks. Also, as a result of firm commitments in foreign currencies, such as its issued foreign currency debt, the Bank is exposed to foreign exchange and commission rate risks which are hedged with cross currency commission rate swaps.

    The tables below show the positive and negative fair values of derivative financial instruments held, together with their notional amounts. The notional amounts, which provide an indication of the volumes of the transactions outstanding at the end of the period / year, do not necessarily reflect the amounts of future cash flows involved. These notional amounts, therefore, are neither indicative of the Bank's exposure to credit risk, which is generally limited to the positive fair value of the derivatives, nor to market risk.

  2. Tier 1 Capital

    During 2020, the Bank through a Shariah compliant arrangement issued Tier 1 Sukuk (the "Sukuk"), amounting to

    5 billion. The issuance was approved by the regulatory authorities and the Board of Directors of the Bank. The applicable profit rate is 4.5% per annum from date of issue up to 2025 and is subjected to reset every 5 years.

    During Q3 2024, the Bank through a Shariah compliant arrangement issued Tier 1 Sukuk (the "Sukuk"), amounting to

    3 billion under its
    8 billion Tier 1 Sukuk Programme established in Q1 2024. The issuance was approved by the regulatory authorities and the Board of Directors of the Bank. The applicable profit rate is 6.0% per annum from date of issue up to 2029 and is subjected to reset every 5 years.

    The applicable profit on the Sukuk is payable quarterly in arrears on each periodic distribution date, except upon the occurrence of a non-payment event or non-payment election by the Bank, whereby the Bank may at its sole discretion (subject to certain terms and conditions) elect not to make any distributions. Such non-payment event or non-payment election are not considered to be events of default and the amounts not paid thereof shall not be cumulative or compound with any future distributions.

    During Q2 2025, the Bank issued USD 650 million Additional Tier 1 Capital as part of its USD 3 Billion Additional Tier 1 Capital Note Programme established in Q3 2024, the issuer under the programme is Banque Saudi Fransi. The applicable profit rate is 6.375% per annum from date of issue up to 2030.

  3. Zakat

    Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority ("ZATCA") issued new zakat regulations through Ministerial Decree No. 2215 dated Rajab 07, 1440H corresponding to March 14, 2019, which provides the new basis for the calculation of Zakat for companies engaged in financing activities and licensed by SAMA. The Bank has calculated zakat in accordance with the above regulation.

    The Bank submitted its zakat return for the year ended December 31 2024, and obtained the unrestricted zakat certificate. The assessments in respect to the Bank's zakat returns for the financial year up to 2020 have been finalized. The assessments for the financial years 2021 to 2024 have not been finalized with ZATCA.

    Zakat for the period ended June 30, 2025 amounted to approximately

    320 million (June 30, 2024:
    263 million). The provision of Zakat is estimated based on the results of operations of the Bank for the six months period ended and the consolidated financial position at June 30, 2025.

  4. Fair values of financial assets and liabilities

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability, or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

For financial instruments that trade infrequently and have little price transparency, fair value is less objective, and requires varying degrees of judgment depending on liquidity, concentration, uncertainty of market factors, pricing assumptions and other risks affecting the specific instrument.

Valuation models

Valuation techniques include net present value and discounted cash flow models, comparison with similar instruments for which market observable prices exist. Assumptions and inputs used in valuation techniques include risk-free and benchmark interest rates, credit spreads and other premium used in estimating discount rates, bond and equity prices and foreign currency exchange rates.

The objective of valuation techniques is to arrive at a fair value measurement that reflects the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Bank uses widely recognized valuation models for determining the fair value of common and simpler financial instruments.

Observable prices or model inputs are usually available in the market for listed debt and equity securities, exchange-traded derivatives and simple over-the-counter derivatives such as interest rate swaps. Availability of observable market prices and model inputs reduces the need for management judgment and estimation and also reduces the uncertainty associated with determining fair values. Availability of observable market prices and inputs varies depending on the products and markets and is prone to changes based on specific events and general conditions in the financial markets.

Valuation models that employ significant unobservable inputs require a higher degree of management judgment and estimation in the determination of fair value. Management judgment and estimation are usually required for selection of the appropriate valuation model to be used, determination of expected future cash flows on the financial instrument being valued, determination of the probability of counterparty default and prepayments and selection of appropriate discount rates. Fair value estimates obtained from models are adjusted for any other factors, such as liquidity risk or model uncertainties; to the extent that the Bank believes that a third party market participant would take them into account in pricing a transaction. Fair values aim also to reflect the credit risk of the instrument and include adjustments to take account of the credit risk of the Bank and the counterparty where appropriate.

Valuation Framework

The Bank has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This framework includes a Market Risk Department, which is independent of Front Office management and reports to the Chief Risk Officer, and which has overall responsibility for independently verifying the results of trading and investment operations and all significant fair value measurements.

Determination of fair value and fair value hierarchy

The Bank uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments: Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for the same instrument (i.e. without modification or repackaging)

Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities or other valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are based on observable market data: and

Level 3: Valuation techniques for which any significant input is not based on observable market data.

18. Fair values of financial assets and liabilities (continued)

Derivative products valued using a valuation technique with market observable inputs are mainly commission rate swaps and options, currency swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing and swap models, using present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs including foreign exchange spot and forward rates and commission rate curves. Other investments in level 2 are valued based on market observable date including broker rates etc.

  1. Fair values of financial assets and liabilities (continued)

    The fair values of investments held at amortized cost are

    27,411 million (December 31, 2024:
    26,098 million and June 30, 2024:
    26,664 million) against carrying value of
    27,988 million (December 31, 2024:
    27,678 million and June 30, 2024:
    27,713 million).The fair values of commission bearing customers' deposits, debt securities, due from and due to banks and other financial institutions which are carried at amortized cost, are not significantly different from the carrying values included in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements, since the current market commission rates for similar financial instruments are not significantly different from the contracted rates, and due to the short duration of due from and due to banks and other financial institutions. An active market for these instruments is not available and the Bank intends to realize the carrying value of these financial instruments through settlement with the counter party at the time of their respective maturities.

    The estimated fair values of investments held at amortized cost are based on quoted market prices when available or pricing models when used in the case of certain fixed rate bonds. Consequently, differences can arise between carrying values and fair value estimates. The fair values of derivatives are based on the quoted market prices when available or by using the appropriate valuation technique. The Bank uses the discounted cash flow method using current yield curve to arrive at the fair value of loans and advances after adjusting internal credit spread which is





    211,509 million (December 31, 2024: 205,276 million and June 30, 2024: 197,265 million). The carrying values of those loans and advances are 209,881 million (December 31, 2024: 204,168 million and June 30, 2024:
    197,160 million).

    The following table shows a reconciliation from the beginning balances to the ending balances for the fair value measurements in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy:

  2. Segment information

Operating segments are identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Bank that are regularly reviewed by the Bank's Board of Directors in its function as chief decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segments and to assess its performance.

Transactions between operating segments are approved by the management as per agreed terms and are reported according to the Bank's internal transfer pricing policy. These terms are in line with normal commercial terms and conditions. The revenue from external parties report to the Board is measured in a manner consistent with that in the condensed interim consolidated statement of income.

Bank has adopted new FTP methodology from the beginning of 2025 to derive inter-segment revenues which is reflected in the segment profit or loss as of June 30, 2025.
