I am pleased to report a strong set of results closing out the first half of 2022. The Group continues to reap the benefits of its agile and adaptable business model, which has enabled us here at Elsewedy Electric to stand strong in the face of global uncertainty and economic volatility. Thanks to our solid foundation, the Group is able to tackle the ever-changing environment with an expediency and flexibility that supports us in staying the course towards our ambitious targets.

Part of our success lies in our consistent focus on ramping up Elsewedy Electric's digital capabilities. We have achieved significant milestones in our strategy to digitally transform the Group's conceptual and engineering design into performance optimization. This transformation will not only provide the backbone for maximizing efficiencies, but also the platform for securing future growth and attractive returns to our shareholders.

Further to our goal of becoming a leader in the transition to a low-carbon economy, Elsewedy Electric signed a landmark agreement with the World Bank Group's International Finance Corporation (IFC), to further develop our sustainable manufacturing facilities, as well as increase access to renewable energy in Africa. We are excited to collaborate with the IFC on aligning our robust expansion plans with the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals, in addition to their own development guidelines and standards. We believe that this partnership will allow us to become the benchmark for integrated energy players across the region and leave an impact on a global scale.

Financial and Operational Highlights

  • Revenues increased by 48.6% y-o-y to EGP 20,391 million in Q2 2022 on the back of the strong performance delivered by Elsewedy Electric's cables and turnkey projects segments. All the company's other segments showed promising y-o-y growth for the period.
  • Gross Profit increased by 51.9% y-o-y to record EGP 2,941 million in Q2 2022, reflecting the strong increase in the company's top-line from the wires and cables and turnkey projects segments, which offset the impact of increased costs during the period.
  • SG&A expenses continue to be impacted by the ongoing global market challenges, coupled with currency depreciations in many regions. Moreover, SG&A partly increased due to the new hires resulting from the company's expansion plans. SG&A increased by 42.0% y-o-y to record EGP 1,112 million at the end of the second quarter of the year. Nonetheless, SG&A improved as percentage of revenues, standing at 5.5% compared to the 5.7% reported in the second quarter of the previous year.
  • EBITDA grew by 41.1% y-o-y to EGP 2,234 million in Q2 2022, recording an EBITDA margin of 11.0% compared to 11.5% one year previously. The nominal decline in EBITDA margin came as a result of recent inflationary pressures which resulted in rising costs.
  • Net Income after Minority Interest grew 26.6% y-o-y to EGP 1,126 million in Q2 2022, up from the net income of EGP 890 million posted in Q2 2021. Net profit margin for the period came in at 5.5% compared to 6.5% in the second quarter of the previous year.
  • Elsewedy reported a net debt position of EGP 13,083 million as at 30 June 2022 compared to a net debt position of EGP 6,116 million booked at year-end 2021. The increase was driven mainly by the contingency planning efforts, deployed in anticipation of delays in commodity deliveries and supply-related shortages that could potentially impact operations. This included raw

material stocking and coverage of associated freight costs. Net debt was also affected by the acceleration of advance payments to suppliers.

  • Inventory came in at EGP 19,497 million as at 30 June 2022, up by 46.4% from the EGP 13,321 million recorded at the end of 2021, as Elsewedy Electric continues to build up higher stock in the midst of global supply-chain disruptions.
  • Accounts receivable booked EGP 20,363 million as at 30 June 2022, reflecting an increase of 35.4% compared to EGP 15,043 million at 31 December 2021, while accounts payable grew by 21.2% between December 2021 and June 2022, to reach EGP 10,521 million.
