Loay Jassim Al-Kharafi
Chairman of Valmore Holding
2025 marked a significant step in Valmore Holding's ongoing transformation, as we entered a new phase in our evolution as a regionally anchored and globally oriented investment platform. The rebrand to Valmore Holding reflects this broader strategic shift, aimed at strengthening the Group's resilience, broadening its international footprint, and supporting sustainable long-term value creation within an evolving global environment.
For nearly three decades, we operated successfully as Egypt Kuwait Holding, building a diversified portfolio of market-leading businesses, primarily in Egypt. This foundation provided the Group with scale, operational depth, expertise, and deep market insight. That legacy remains a core source of strength for the Group. At the same time, global capital flows, currency volatility, and evolving investor expectations have reinforced the importance of greater geographic diversification, resilience, and a stronger hard-currency earnings profile.
In response, the Board undertook a strategic repositioning, recalibrating the Group's direction, strengthening governance, and aligning the Group on a clearer long-term vision for growth and value creation. The rebrand to Valmore Holding forms part of this broader transformation, reflecting our commitment to disciplined capital allocation, institutional strength, and the pursuit of high-quality investment opportunities across a wider set of markets.
Where Egypt Kuwait Holding reflected our legacy, Valmore represents our future ambition as a more balanced and resilient investment platform with broader geographic exposure, a stronger hard-currency earnings mix, and multiple avenues for long-term growth. Our priorities remain clear-disciplined execution, prudent risk management, and transparent engagement with investors-as we continue to build and improve market understanding of the Group's strategy, earnings quality, and long-term value creation potential.
Alongside this strategic evolution, we have continued to strengthen the Group's institutional capabilities through governance enhancements, organisational effectiveness, and a focus on management capability across the Group. These efforts are important towards ensuring that Valmore is well-positioned to execute its strategy consistently and deliver sustainable long-term value for shareholders.
Valmore enters this next phase on a stronger foundation, supported by clearer strategic priorities, enhanced institutional capabilities, and a shared commitment to disciplined execution. In line with the Group's disciplined capital allocation framework and its commitment to sustainable shareholder returns, the Board has proposed a cash dividend of USD 4.5 cents per share for FY25, subject to general assembly approval. On behalf of the Board, I extend my sincere thanks to our management team, employees, partners, and shareholders for their trust and continued support as we move forward as Valmore Holding.
Jon Rokk
CEO of Valmore Holding
2025 was a year of continued strategic progress and strong operational execution across our portfolio. Throughout the year, we remained focused on strengthening our core platforms, increasing hard-currency revenue streams, and advancing our portfolio optimisation agenda, positioning Valmore for its next phase of growth.
On a consolidated basis, Valmore delivered strong overall growth in FY25, demonstrating the strength and resilience of our high-quality portfolio and operating model. Revenues increased by 24% y-o-y to USD685mn, supported by healthy EBITDA and net profit margins of 47% and 27%, respectively. This performance resulted in bottom-line profitability broadly in line with that of the prior year, reflecting strong underlying operating performance, despite the non-recurrence of one-off foreign exchange gains recognised in FY24. These results underscore Valmore's ability to generate sustainable value across geographies and deliver consistent returns through market cycles.
In fertilisers, AlexFert delivered solid full-year performance, with revenues growing 18% y-o-y, supported by improved gas availability and resilient export urea pricing. The fourth quarter saw stable feedstock supply and utilisation maintained at full run rate, reinforcing confidence in the operating environment heading into 2026.
Sprea sustained strong top-line growth during the year, with full-year revenues rising 33% y-o-y, driven by continued execution of its market share expansion strategy and growing export contribution. While profitability reflected some cost pressures, improving operating conditions support expectations for gradual margin recovery.
Within the utilities segment, NatEnergy recorded 20% y-o-y revenue growth in FY25, supported by higher installations and increased connections to margin-accretive households. Kahraba delivered 18% y-o-y revenue growth over the year, supported by resilient demand and higher distribution volumes across its concession footprint, while ongoing expansion initiatives position the platform to capitalise on rising industrial activity.
On the upstream front, ONS maintained resilient performance, with net profit increasing 7% y-o-y, supported by stable production and a strong margin profile. The extension of its concession agreement and the award of a nearby onshore concession enhance visibility on the concession's long-term operational continuity and growth prospects.
2025 also marked a milestone year for Nilewood. Following successful commissioning, the plant has now transitioned into commercial ramp-up. This project represents a key pillar in our strategy to build and grow export-oriented, USD-generating industrial platforms, and we expect it to contribute positive operating cash flow in 2026.
In Saudi Arabia, our natural gas distribution operations continued to scale following the commencement of commercial supply earlier in 2025. Gas consumption volumes are rising in line with tenant demand, and the embedded growth potential within the concession provides long-term visibility and predictable cash flows.
We also reached financial close on our UK investment, Endolys, during the year, marking our first major expansion outside the MENA region. Capital deployment has commenced, and this project positions us to build a scalable, hard-currency-generating platform aligned with global sustainability trends. Together with the successful divestment of Delta Insurance and other capital recycling initiatives completed during the year, these steps underscore our disciplined approach to portfolio optimisation and capital allocation.
As we enter 2026 as Valmore Holding, we do so with a streamlined portfolio, strengthened hard-currency exposure, and multiple embedded growth engines across our platforms. Our focus remains clear: disciplined execution, active capital recycling, and building scalable, high-return businesses that deliver sustainable value to our shareholders.

Financial performance highlights
AlexFert's revenues rose 23% y-o-y and 22% q-o-q to USD72.6mn in 4Q25, supported by a recovery in export fertiliser volumes (+33% q-o-q and 11% y-o-y) on the back of improved gas availability over the quarter, alongside 23% y-o-y higher export urea prices, which averaged cUSD447/ton in 4Q25 (vs. cUSD364/ton in 4Q24 and cUSD451/ton in 3Q25). FY25 revenues grew 18% y-o-y to USD251mn, driven by 24% y-o-y higher average export urea prices during 2025, at an average of USD423/ton in FY25.
Gross profit grew 21% y-o-y and surged 50% q-o-q to USD30.1mn in 4Q25, with gross margin broadly stable y-o-y at 42%, and up 8pp sequentially. FY25 gross profit rose 26% y-o-y to USD97.6mn, with gross margin expanding by 3pp y-o-y to 39% on the back of stronger export prices.
EBITDA rose 3% y-o-y and climbed 29% q-o-q to USD35.5mn in 4Q25, supported by higher gross profit. EBITDA margin expanded by 3pp q-o-q yet contracted by 9pp y-o-y to 49%, as USD4.79mn in provision reversals boosted the 4Q24 EBITDA figure. FY25 EBITDA increased 12% y-o-y to USD119mn, with EBITDA margin remaining robust at 47%.
Net profit grew 32% q-o-q, yet declined 9% y-o-y, to USD26.1mn in 4Q25, primarily on the back of a cUSD1.16mn provision booked during the quarter versus a cUSD4.79mn provision reversal in 4Q24. Net profit margin widened by 3pp q-o-q to land at 36% in 4Q25. FY25 net profit increased by 6% y-o-y to USD86.2mn, with net profit margin at 34%.
Operational developments and outlook
AlexFert delivered a strong quarter, with natural gas supply remaining stable and utilisation maintained at c100% run rate throughout the quarter, coupled with sustained strong export urea pricing.
The outlook on natural gas supply remains positive, supported by quicker and more proactive government action in response to natural gas supply challenges, as demonstrated by increased LNG shipments.
Export urea prices are expected to maintain their strong trajectory, with prices averaging cUSD460/ton in December, cUSD445/ton in January, and cUSD471/ton in February, supported by favourable global demand
supply dynamics. Geopolitical tensions in key urea export markets and the closure of the export window on Chinese fertilisers have resulted in a tighter-than-expected global urea market, pushing prices higher.
The recent regulatory structural changes, coupled with, the expected favourable treatment of Egyptian fertilisers, under the EU's CBAM framework, together reflect improved sector-wide fundamentals as well as increased earnings visibility for AlexFert.

Financial performance highlights
Sprea Misr delivered strong top-line growth in 4Q25, with revenues reaching USD48.8mn, surging 58% y-o-y in USD terms and 51% y-o-y in EGP terms, driven by higher sales volumes, reflecting the success of management's ongoing market share expansion strategy. On a sequential basis, revenues grew 27% q-o-q in USD terms and 24% q-o-q in EGP terms. FY25 revenues grew 33% y-o-y in USD terms to USD177mn and 49% y-o-y in EGP terms to EGP8,717bn, reflecting sustained volume momentum and market share growth throughout the year.
Gross profit was down 21% q-o-q and 32% y-o-y, in USD terms, and 23% q-o-q and 35% y-o-y, in EGP terms in 4Q25, reflecting the cost pressures Sprea faced across raw materials and production inputs, as raw material costs increased +44% q-o-q and +109% y-o-y, in USD terms, and +41% q-o-q and +100% y-o-y, in EGP terms, partially owing to higher: i) locally-sourced methanol costs, driven by higher feedstock prices, as a result of natural gas supply interruptions, ii) import raw material costs owing to shipping disruptions within the Red Sea route, as well as, to a relatively lesser extent, iii) higher industrial expenses (+29% y-o-y in USD terms and +23% y-o-y in EGP terms). 4Q25 Gross profit margin narrowed by 8pp q-o-q and 18pp y-o-y.
Largely similar trends were observed across operating profit and EBITDA, in both USD and EGP terms, as well as for EBITDA margin relative to gross profit margin. On a full-year basis, EBITDA declined 28% y-o-y in USD terms and 17% y-o-y in EGP terms.
Net profit amounted to USD7.39mn in 4Q25, down 9% q-o-q and 33% y-o-y, in USD terms, and 11% q-o-q and 36% y-o-y in EGP terms, impacted by y-o-y lower net interest income due to increased cash upstreaming to the holding level, in addition to FX losses booked during the quarter, compared to FX gains booked in 4Q24. FY25 net profit reached USD33.7mn, down 45% y-o-y in USD terms and 37% y-o-y in EGP terms, impacted by a combination of: i) lower prices due to management's growth strategy, ii) cost pressures and iii) lower interest income.
Outlook
Sprea maintains a positive medium-term outlook, underpinned by stable operating conditions and management's continued execution of its market share expansion strategy, which is expected to translate into volume-led revenue growth, and further supported by enhanced earnings visibility and industry pricing discipline on the back of the extension of final anti-dumping measures on imports of sulphonated naphthalene formaldehyde (SNF) originating from Russia and China.
Looking ahead, management anticipates further upside from rising local demand, in line with the recovery in building activity, and a growing export contribution, supported by the gradual normalisation of raw material input costs following the easing of gas supply disruptions, which should support a progressive recovery in margins going forward.

FY25 net profit reached USD25.2mn, down 21% y-o-y in USD terms and 8% y-o-y in EGP terms, on the back of FX losses amounting to USD695k over the period, compared to USD14.4mn in FX gains during FY24, the bulk of which was booked in 1Q24.
Operational developments and outlook
NatEnergy is expected to continue delivering growth, supported by management's focus on expanding residential connections while prioritizing high-value, margin-accretive household and industrial connections to sustain blended margins.

Financial performance highlights
Revenues grew 4% sequentially to reach USD15.3mn in 4Q25, supported by stable production volumes from recently commissioned wells, despite declining 18% y-o-y from a high base in 4Q24 relative to the company's typical quarterly run rate. FY25 revenues reached USD61.3mn, broadly stable y-o-y (-2%).
Gross profit came in at USD9.81mn in 4Q25, broadly unchanged y-o-y, yet declined 7% q-o-q, driven by higher COGS (+31% q-o-q). As a result, gross profit margin narrowed by 8pp q-o-q to 64%, yet still expanded by 11pp y-o-y. On a full-year basis, gross profit rose 6% y-o-y to USD37.2mn, with gross profit margin widening by 4pp y-o-y to 61%.
EBITDA declined 23% y-o-y and 4% q-o-q to USD11.4mn in 4Q25, on the back of +28% y-o-y higher G&A, with EBITDA margin narrowing by 6pp q-o-q and 5pp y-o-y to 75%. FY25 EBITDA stood at USD49.1mn, marginally down (-2%) y-o-y, while EBITDA margin remained largely stable at 80%, underscoring the robustness of ONS' operating model despite near-term cost headwinds.
Net profit reached USD8.61mn in 4Q25, declining 7% q-o-q and 2% y-o-y, in line with the trends observed for gross profitability, with net profit margin contracting by 7pp q-o-q, yet expanding by 9pp y-o-y to 56%. FY25 net profit rose 7% y-o-y to USD33.3mn, with net profit margin expanding by 4pp y-o-y to 54%.
Operational developments and outlook
ONS' long-term operational continuity and growth prospects are supported by the: i) ratification of a 10-year extension to its Concession Agreement by President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, providing visibility from a regulatory standpoint as well as a stable operational framework to support sustained production and investment planning, and ii) award of a new concession located just 1.7km from the existing NSCO facilities, within the Rummana onshore Central Processing Facility (CPF), offering significant operational and economic advantages, including minimal tie-in costs, lower drilling and development costs, typical of onshore operations, along with existing ullage capacity to accommodate incremental production.
Additionally, a key recent development was that a new flat gas price was approved by the Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources in November. The new pricing will apply to all incremental gas from new projects starting with Phase-4, which is expected to commence production in early 2027.
NBFS and Diversified
Valmore's Diversified segment spans a broad range of sectors including insurance, non-banking financial services, and MDF production. The segment includes companies such as Mohandes Insurance, Al-Shorouk for Melamine and Resins, Nilewood, an MDF board manufacturer, as well as Valmore's microfinance subsidiary, Bedayti.

Financial performance highlights
The diversified segment generated revenues of USD57.2mn in FY25, more than doubling y-o-y (+112%), primarily driven by gains realised from the Group's portfolio optimisation programme, including proceeds from the partial divestment of AD Astra (USD8.00mn), the sale of Shield Gas (USD2.68mn), and the monetisation of sovereign debt instruments, alongside the reversal of impairment charges (USD2.54mn) related to BMIC. Together, these corporate actions reflect management's disciplined focus on unlocking value and enhancing capital efficiency across the portfolio.
Gross profitability expanded sharply, with gross profit surging to USD33.1mn in FY25, translating into a 58% gross profit margin, (vs. 4% in FY24), as top-line growth translated into significant margin expansion.
Mohandes Insurance recorded attributable net profit of EGP95.7mn in FY25, up 38% y-o-y, driven by solid underwriting performance, improved investment income, and disciplined claims management, supporting resilient bottom-line growth despite a still elevated interest rate environment.
Bedayti delivered attributable net profit of EGP106mn, up 59% y-o-y, underpinned by continued portfolio expansion, disciplined risk management, and resilient demand for microfinance solutions, reinforcing its role as a key growth engine within the diversified portfolio.
On a segmental level, net losses narrowed materially to (USD0.32mn), compared to (USD26.9mn) in FY24, reflecting the substantial improvement in operational profitability, successful execution of portfolio optimisation transactions, and stronger contributions from core operating assets.
Operational developments and outlook
During FY25, management continued to advance its portfolio optimisation strategy, centered on capital recycling, selective asset monetisation, and disciplined capital allocation to drive value creation and enhance shareholder returns. These initiatives remain central to the Group's strategic shift towards divesting non-core assets and de-risking of EGP-denominated revenues.
Nilewood's MDF manufacturing facility successfully transitioned into early-stage commercial operations following completion of commissioning, with ramp-up progressing steadily. The plant is expected to contribute meaningfully to revenue growth and operating cash generation in FY26, supported by rising domestic demand and benefiting from import substitution dynamics.
