REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Board of Directors The National Bank of Ras AI-Khaimah (P.S.C.) Ras Al Khaimah United Arab EmiratesIntroduction
We have reviewed the accompanying Group condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position of The National Bank of Ras AI-Khaimah (P. S.C.) (the "Bank") and its Subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group") as at 30 September 2025 and the related Group statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the nine-month period then ended and a summary of material accounting policy information and other explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34"). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information 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 financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34.
Other matter
The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2024 were audited by another auditor who expressed an unmodified opinion on those statements on 23 January 2025. The interim financial information of the Group for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2024 was reviewed by another auditor who expressed an unmodified conclusion on 21 October 2024.

Application of new and revised IFRS Accounting Standards
New and revised IFRS Accounting Standards applied with no material effect on the condensed consolidated financial information
The following new and revised IFRS Accounting Standards, which became effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2025, have been adopted in condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Their adoption has not had any material impact on the disclosures or on the amounts reported in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements:
New and revised IFRS Accounting Standard SummaryAmendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates relating to Lack of Exchangeability
The amendments contain guidance to specify when a currency is exchangeable and how to determine the exchange rate when it is not.
Material accounting policy information
Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated interim financial information of the Group is prepared under the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments which are measured at fair value. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
These condensed consolidated interim financial information are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34: Interim Financial Reporting ("IAS 34"), issued by the International Accounting Standard Board ("IASB") and also comply with the applicable requirements of the laws in the U.A.E.
The accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated interim financial information are consistent with those used in the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.
As required by the Securities and Commodities Authority of the U.A.E. ("SCA") Notification No. 2624/2008 dated 12 October 2008, accounting policies relating to financial assets, cash and cash equivalents and Islamic financing and investing assets have been disclosed in the condensed consolidated interim financial information.
These condensed consolidated interim financial information do not include all the information required for full annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's audited annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024. In addition, results for the nine months period ended 30 September 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the financial year ending 31 December 2025.
Consolidation
The condensed consolidated interim financial information incorporate the condensed consolidated interim financial information of National Bank of Ras Al-Khaimah (P.S.C.) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as "Group").
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group.
Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intra-group balances and income and expenses (except for foreign currency transaction gains or losses) arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial information. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.
Acquisition accounting
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured at their fair values at the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interest, and the Group allocates the purchase price to these net assets acquired. The measurement period for purchase price allocations ends as soon as information on the facts and circumstances becomes available but does not exceed 12 months. The Group policy is aligned with that laid out in IFRS 3.
3. Material accounting policy information (continued)
Consolidation (continued)
iii) Acquisition accounting (continued)
The consideration transferred for the acquiree is measured at the fair value of the assets given up, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed, but excludes acquisition related costs such as advisory, legal, valuation and similar professional services which are charged to the statement of profit or loss.
The Group measures non-controlling interest that represents present ownership interest and entitles the holder to a proportionate share of net assets in the event of liquidation on a transaction by transaction basis.
Goodwill is measured by deducting the net assets of the acquiree from the aggregate of the consideration transferred for the acquiree, the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquiree and fair value of an interest in the acquiree held immediately before the acquisition date.
Islamic financing
The Group engages in Shari'ah compliant Islamic banking activities through various Islamic instruments such as Murabaha, Salam, Mudaraba, and Wakala. The accounting policy for initial recognition, subsequent measurement and derecognition of Islamic financial assets and liabilities are below:
Murabaha financing
A sale contract whereby the Group sells to a customer commodities and other assets at an agreed upon profit mark up on cost. The Group purchases the assets based on a promise received from customer to buy the item purchased according to specific terms and conditions. Profit from Murabaha is quantifiable at the commencement of the transaction. Such income is recognised as it accrues over the period of the contract on effective profit rate method on the balance outstanding.
Salam
Bai Al Salam is a Sale contract where the Customer (Seller) undertakes to deliver/supply a specified tangible asset to the Group (Buyer) at mutually agreed future date(s) in exchange for an advance price fully paid on the spot by the buyer.
Revenue on Salam financing is recognised on the effective profit rate basis over the period of the contract, based on
the Salam capital outstanding.
Mudaraba
A contract between the Group and a customer, whereby one party provides the funds (Rab Al Mal - customer) and the other party (the Mudarib - the Group) invests the funds in a project or a particular activity and any profits generated are distributed between the parties according to the profit shares that were pre-agreed in the contract. The Mudarib would bear the loss in case of default, negligence or violation of any of the terms and conditions of the Mudaraba, otherwise, losses are borne by the Rab Al Mal.
3. Material accounting policy information (continued)
Islamic financing (continued)
Wakala
An agreement between the Group and customer whereby one party (Rab Al Mal - principal) provides a certain sum of money to an agent (Wakil), who invests it according to specific conditions in return for a certain fee (a lump sum of money or a percentage of the amount invested). The agent is obliged to return the invested amount in case of default, negligence or violation of any of the terms and conditions of the Wakala. The Group may be Wakil or Rab Al Mal depending on the nature of the transaction.
Estimated income from Wakala is recognised on an accrual basis over the period, adjusted by actual income when received. Losses are accounted for on the date of declaration by the agent.
Ijara
Ijara financing is a finance lease agreement whereby the Group (lessor) leases an asset based on the customer's (lessee) request and promise to lease the assets for a specific period in lieu of rental instalments. Ijara ends in transferring the ownership of the asset to the lessee at the end of the lease inclusive of the risks and rewards incident to an ownership of the leased assets. Ijara assets are stated at amounts equal to the net investment outstanding in the lease including the income earned thereon less impairment provisions.
Profit distribution mechanism
Deposits of Islamic banking are managed in accordance with Shari'ah principles through a Mudaraba pool and profit is distributed in accordance with the Shari'ah approved profit distribution mechanism. To ensure the competitive return to the depositors, Shari'ah compliant reserves are maintained as followed;
Profit Equalisation Reserves (PER) is appropriated out of the Common Mudaraba Pool's profit in order to
maintain the adequate return on investments for participants of Common Mudaraba Pool.
Investment Risk Reserve (IRR) is appropriated from the depositors' share of profits set aside as a reserve.
Cash and cash equivalents
In the condensed consolidated interim statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, money in current and call accounts and placements with original maturity of less than three months excluding the statutory deposit required to be maintained with the UAE Central Bank.

The notes are perpetual, subordinated and unsecured and are issued at a fixed coupon rate of 6.625% p.a. Subject to interest cancellation clauses, interest is payable semi-annually at a fixed rate of 6.625% p.a. until July 9, 2031; and thereafter, the interest will reset every sixth year. The Bank can elect not to pay a coupon at its own discretion and has the option to call back the securities in 2031 subject to obtaining regulatory approvals. Note holders will not have a right to claim the coupon and such event will not be considered an event of default. The notes carry no maturity date and have been classified as equity. Accordingly, the interest paid is accounted for as a deduction from retained earnings.
The transaction costs associated with this issuance are incremental costs directly attributable to the AT1 transaction that otherwise would have been avoided therefore are also deducted from retained earnings.

The new CT regime has become effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 June 2023. As the Group's accounting year ends on 31 December the first tax period was the period from 1 January 2024 to 31 December 2024, with the respective tax return filed in September 2025.
The taxable income of the entities that are in scope for UAE CT purposes are subject to the rate of 9% on taxable profits above AED 375,000.

Operating segments
Following the management approach of IFRS 8, operating segments are reported in accordance with the internal reporting to the management, which is responsible for allocating resources to the reportable segments and assesses its performance. All operating segments used by the Group meet the definition of a reportable segment under IFRS 8.
The Group has four main business segments:
Retail banking - incorporating individual customer and certain business current accounts, savings accounts, deposits, credit and debit cards, individual customer loans and mortgages;
Wholesale banking - incorporating transactions with corporate bodies including government and public bodies and comprising of loans, advances, deposits and trade finance transactions of corporate customers and financial institutions, including Treasury related activities on the dealing room, related money market, and foreign exchange transactions and hedging activities with other banks and financial institutions;
Business banking - incorporating transactions comprising of loans, advances, deposits and trade finance transactions of SME; and
Head Office and Others - Comprises Central funding & other support functions including insurance related transactions of Raknic subsidiary.
The above segments include conventional and Islamic products and services of the Group.
As the Group's segment operations are all financial with a majority of revenues deriving from interest and fees and commission income, the management relies primarily on revenue and segmental results to assess the performance of the segment.
Funds are ordinarily allocated between segments, resulting in funding cost transfers disclosed in inter-segment revenue. Interest charged for these funds is based on the Group's funds transfer pricing guidelines. There are no other material items of income or expense between the business segments.
The Group's management reporting is based on a measure of net profit comprising net interest income, loan
impairment charges, net fee and commission income, other income and non-interest expenses.
Operating segments are identified on the basis of internal reports about the components of the Group that are regularly reviewed by the CEO (the chief operating decision maker) in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance.
Operating segments (continued)
The segment information provided to the management for the reportable segments for the periods ended 30 September 2025 and 30 September 2024 are as follows:

Fair values of financial assets and liabilities
Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction. Consequently, differences can arise between the carrying values and fair value estimates of financial assets and liabilities. Underlying the definition of fair value is the presumption that the Group is a going concern without any intention or requirement to materially curtail the scale of its operations or to undertake a transaction on adverse terms. At 30 September 2025, the carrying value of the Group's financial assets and liabilities approximates their fair values, except for the below mentioned financial assets and liabilities:

32. Fair value hierarchy |
The fair value measurements are categorized into different levels in the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs to valuation techniques used. The different levels are defined as follows:
Quoted market prices - Level 1
Financial instruments are classified as Level 1 if their values are observable in an active market. Such instruments are valued by reference to unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets where the quoted price is readily available, and the price represents actual and regularly occurring market transactions.
Valuation techniques using observable inputs - Level 2
Financial instruments classified as Level 2 have been valued using models whose inputs are observable in an active market. Valuation based on observable inputs includes financial instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts which are valued using market standard pricing techniques.
