Disclosure: Detailed analysis of the accumulated losses

The document is a disclosure form prepared by Ithmaar Holding B.S.C, in line with the SCA Board of Directors’ Decision No. (32/R.M.) of 2019. It pertains to companies with shares listed on the market and accumulated losses of 20% or more of their paid-up capital. As of Q3 2023, Ithmaar Holding B.S.C's accumulated losses were valued at USD 833.24 million, which is 110% of their paid-up capital. The company's accumulated losses began to increase significantly in 2016, mainly due to impairment provisions from non-core investments. The adoption of FAS30 in 2018 and the economic impact of Covid-19 in 2020 further increased the losses. However, in 2021, the losses decreased by $35.0 million due to net income attributable to shareholders, but increased again in 2022 and 2023 due to net losses attributable to shareholders. The company's board is currently working on initiatives to improve the capital and address the accumulated losses, including asset sale and/or restructuring plans.
