REPORT ON REVIEW OF CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF NMDC GROUP PJSCIntroduction
We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position of NMDC Group PJSC (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group") as at 31 March 2026 and the related statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed consolidated financial information in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" (IAS 34). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed consolidated financial information based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with the 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.

Notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three-month period ended 31 March 2026-
General information
NMDC Group PJSC ("NMDC" or the "Company") is a public shareholding Company incorporated in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The Company was incorporated by Law No. (10) of 1979, as amended by Decree No. (3) and (9) of 1985 issued by His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who was then the Deputy Ruler of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. The registered address of the Company is P.O. Box 3649, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial performance and position of the Company and its subsidiaries, joint venture and branches (collectively referred to as the "Group"), details of which are set out below.
During 2020, the Company's shareholders accepted an offer from Abu Dhabi Development Holding Company ("ADQ") (an existing shareholder and an entity fully owned by the Government of Abu Dhabi) and other minority shareholders of National Petroleum Construction Company PJSC ("NPCC"), to acquire 100% of the shareholding of NPCC, in exchange for the issuance of 575,000,000 equity shares in the Company to ADQ and the other shareholders of NPCC. This transaction received regulatory approvals on 11 February 2022, and consequently, the Company's share capital stands increased to AED 825,000,000 from that date. As a result of this transaction, the Government of Abu Dhabi became the majority holder of the Company's shares. Subsequently, in May 2022, out of its total shareholding of 58.48% in the Company, ADQ transferred 44.2% to entities in the Alpha Dhabi Holding PJSC ("Alpha") group, a subsidiary of International Holding Company. With this transaction and along with its previous equity shareholding in the Company, Alpha became the majority shareholder of the Company.
On 8 March 2024, during the Annual General Meeting of National Marine Dredging Company PJSC, the shareholders approved the amendment to Article No. (2) of the Articles of Association of the Company relating to the Company's name to be "NMDC Group PJSC", which was subsequently approved by Securities and Commodities Authority.
The Company is primarily engaged in the execution of engineering, procurement and construction contracts, dredging contracts and associated land reclamation works in the territorial waters of the UAE. The Group also operates in other jurisdictions in the region including Taiwan, Philippines, Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and India through its subsidiaries, branches and joint operations.

- Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty
-
Basis of preparation
The preparation of interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
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 estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025, except for the below:
In late February and early March 2026, a significant regional and geopolitical conflict erupted in the Middle East. The evolving situation has introduced heightened risks related to logistics, energy supply, insurance coverage, and increased volatility in oil prices. The ultimate extent and duration of these effects remain uncertain and are dependent on future developments.
-
Basis of preparation and critical accounting judgements (continued)
2.3 Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)
Management has conducted a preliminary assessment of the potential impact of these geopolitical developments on the Group's operations, financial performance, supply chain and operational activities. Based on such assessment, appropriate provisions for additional costs have been recorded in the interim financial statements for the period, which have had an adverse impact on the Group's revenues and profit margins for the period. This decline in margin is primarily attributable to cost overruns and impact of idle hours affecting offshore and onshore activities. Furthermore, certain contracts have experienced delays in revenue recognition due to extended project timelines and lower than expected percentages of completion.
The Group has implemented mitigation measures, including supply chain reconfiguration, optimized resource deployment, and close coordination with clients and authorities to realign schedules. Contractual and insurance positions are also under review to manage risk exposure. The Group is also currently evaluating potential claims on its customers arising from project delays and cost variations but have not included any positive impact of such claims in the results for the period. The Group maintains strong operational resilience and remains committed to safeguarding its workforce and protecting long-term shareholder value.
Given the evolving nature of the situation, the duration and full extent of the potential impact on the Group's financial performance and position cannot be reliably estimated at this stage. Management continues to closely monitor developments and will update its critical accounting judgements and estimates, as necessary.
