Report on Review of Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Information To the Bord of Directors of Dialog Axiata PLC

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed interim statement of financial position of Dialog Axiata PLC ("the Company") and condensed consolidated interim financial position of Dialog Axiata PLC and its subsidiaries ("the Group") as at 30 June 2024 , the related condensed statements of comprehensive income of the Company and the Group for the quarter ended and cumulative six - months ended 30 June 2024, the related changes in equity and cash flows of the Company and the Group for the cumulative six - months then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this condensed interim financial information in accordance with Sri Lanka Accounting Standard 34 [LKAS34] - Interim Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Sri Lanka Standard on Review Engagements [SLSRE] 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 Sri Lanka Auditing Standards 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 financial information is not presented, in all material respects, in accordance with the Sri Lanka Accounting Standard 34 [LKAS34] - Interim Financial Reporting.
