EFG Holding preserves growth momentum, demonstrating resilient performance in the second quarter results of 2025
Cairo: EFG Holding, a financial institution with a universal bank in Egypt and the leading investment bank in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), announced today its results for the second quarter of 2025. The Group's revenues recorded a 21% Y-o-Y increase to reach EGP 6.1 billion, driven by strong results across all business lines, particularly EFG Finance, its non-bank financial institutions (NBFI) platform, and Bank NXT, its commercial bank. The Group's total operating expenses (including provisions & ECL) increased 22% Y-o-Y to EGP 4.1 billion, on higher provisions & ECL, predominantly in EFG Finance, and higher other G&A expenses. Meanwhile, employee expenses were flat Y-o-Y. With the increase in revenues surpassing the increase in expenses, EFG Holding's net operating profit and net profit before taxes increased 19% Y-o-Y and 21% Y-o-Y, respectively. Consequently, net profit after tax and minority interest inched up 2% Y-o-Y to reach EGP 802 million in 2Q25. Karim Awad, Group CEO of EFG Holding, commented, 'Our second quarter results demonstrate the continued resilience and strength with which EFG Holding operates, supported by its diversified platform and strong geographic footprint. EFG Holding's first half of 2025 has been defined by meaningful milestones and strong momentum. Foremost among these is Valu's listing on the Egyptian Exchange (EGX) in June, complemented by Amazon's decision to exercise its Option Agreement with EFG Holding to acquire a direct stake in Valu. The period's financial results highlight the standout performance of EFG Finance, driven by Valu and Bank NXT. Our Asset Management platform continues to expand, with assets under management growing, while the Investment Banking division closed transactions totaling more than USD 1 billion in the quarter. EFG Hermes, the investment bank, maintained its resilient performance for the second quarter of the year, with Holding & Treasury Activities, Brokerage, and the Buy Side revenues collectively rising 131% Y-o-Y. Although the Investment Banking business continues to demonstrate solid performance this quarter, Y-o-Y revenues appear lower due to an exceptionally high base in the comparative period. Excluding this high base effect, the underlying performance of the advisory business remains robust and promising. Thus, EFG Hermes' operating revenues came flat Y-o-Y at EGP 2.7 billion. Holding & Treasury Activities recorded a strong rebound, generating EGP 397 million in revenues versus a loss of EGP 503 million in 2Q24. Brokerage revenues rose 25% Y-o-Y, driven by higher revenues generated particularly by Egypt, followed by Kuwait and the UAE markets. EFG Hermes operating expenses (including provisions & ECL) inched up 3% Y-o-Y to EGP 2.2 billion, on higher other G&A expenses, higher provisions & ECL, and despite lower employee expenses. EFG Hermes reported net profit after tax and minority interest of EGP 268 million, down 11% Y-o-Y, on lower profitability generated by the Investment Banking division. EFG Finance, the Group's Non-Bank Financial Institutions (NBFI) platform, continued to deliver strong results in 2Q25, with its revenues surging 66% Y-o-Y to EGP 1.8 billion, supported by broad-based growth across all lines of business. Valu led the performance with a 71% Y-o-Y increase in revenues, driven by substantial securitization gains and higher net fees & commissions amid a rise in loan issuances, followed by Tanmeyah and Corp-Solutions, which continued its upward trajectory with Leasing's portfolio reaching EGP 17.7 billion in 1H25, increasing 102% Y-o-Y, fueled by targeted efforts to onboard large creditworthy clients. Valu issued EGP 4.7 billion worth of new loans in 2Q25, up 60% Y-o-Y. EFG Finance's operating expenses rose 82% Y-o-Y to EGP 1.2 billion, mainly due to inflation-driven G&A costs, higher provisions, increased employee expenses and one-time expenses related to Valu's listing. EFG Finance's net operating profit and net profit before taxes rose 39% Y-o-Y and 37% Y-o-Y, respectively, in 2Q25. However, net profit after tax and minority interest declined 15% Y-o-Y to EGP 230 million, due to higher minority interest charges following the distribution of Valu shares to EFG Holding's shareholders and the decline in EFG Holding's ownership from 95% to 67%. Bank NXT, the commercial bank, delivered a strong performance, delivering 30% Y-o-Y revenue growth to reach EGP 1.6 billion in 2Q25. This was primarily driven by higher net interest income, in addition to an increase in interest-earning assets. Operating expenses, including provisions & ECL, rose 23% Y-o-Y to EGP 694 million in 2Q25, primarily due to higher salaries, as well as higher other G&A expenses, which were offset by a 27% decline in provisions and ECL. The Bank's net profit after tax and minority interest added 39% Y-o-Y to reach EGP 304 million in 2Q25, as revenue growth outpaced the growth in expenses. 'Amid ongoing geopolitical volatility and persistent macroeconomic headwinds, market dynamics across the MENA region remained varied, both in terms of liquidity and overall performance. Nonetheless, the Brokerage business delivered notable growth in total executions, driven primarily by robust activity in Kuwait and the UAE. Bank NXT continued to broaden its portfolio, diligently cultivating a strong base that will underpin future growth and generate lasting value. Anchored by a solid foundation, the firm is well-positioned to adeptly navigate changing market conditions and confidently capitalize on emerging opportunities for the benefit of clients and shareholders alike,' concluded Awad.

H.E. Dr. Rania Al-Mashat, Minister of Planning, Economic Development, and International Cooperation, met with Zeina Toukan, Minister of Planning and International Cooperation of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, during the 33rd session of the Egyptian-Jordanian Joint Higher Committee, held in the Jordanian capital, Amman, under the chairmanship of the Prime Ministers of both countries. The meeting witnessed discussions on strengthening the partnership between the two ministries in order to exchange expertise in the field of development planning and economic development policies, and discussed activating the executive program that was signed during the activities of the committee between the Institute of National Planning (INP) in Egypt and the Jordanian Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation. During the meeting, H.E. Dr. Rania Al-Mashat affirmed the keenness of the Egyptian state, under the leadership of H.E. President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, President of the Arab Republic of Egypt, to continue developing the joint relations between the two brotherly countries, which have close and extended economic ties that have contributed to the development of bilateral, Arab and regional cooperation, adding that the Egyptian-Jordanian relations represent a role model for Arab relations in light of the attention and permanent support from the political leadership of the two countries, especially in light of the developments and rapid changes taking place in the Arab world and the region. Al-Mashat pointed to the pivotal role of the Egyptian-Jordanian Joint Higher Committee as one of the main mechanisms working to support and strengthen joint economic, trade, investment, and cultural relations between the two countries, which represents the oldest of all Arab bilateral higher committees, noting the strong contributions over 32 previous sessions in supporting bilateral relations in areas of joint work between the two countries and overcoming obstacles to mutual cooperation paths. H.E. expressed her welcome for cooperation and the exchange of expertise in the field of development planning and sustainable development, through the activation of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the two countries in August 2023 in Amman, which expands to covers promising areas, most notably cooperation in planning, capacity building through the provision of training programs, workshops, and discussion panels in the fields of planning, strategic planning, governance, sustainable development, and competitiveness. Al-Mashat also noted the possibility of exchanging expertise between the two countries in sustainable development and planning, particularly regarding their efforts to implement the recommendations of the 'Public Governance Review,' launched by Egypt and Jordan in Egypt in cooperation with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) within the framework of the 'Supporting Public and Economic Governance in Egypt' project, and the lessons learned in preparing Voluntary Local Reviews (VLRs), and the role of the Higher Committee for Sustainable Development (HCSD) in Jordan. The two ministers also discussed joint coordination in international forums to advance global efforts towards implementing the outcomes of the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development, recently held in Seville, as well as other international conferences, especially with regard to the global financial architecture reforms and developing the United Nations system to benefit the economies of developing and emerging countries.
