Excluding the impact of the Myanmar exit, first quarter revenue increased by 3% YoY to QAR 5.8 billion. Healthy net profit growth of 5% YoY to QAR 960 million.

Additionally, we are pleased to report that the recommendation by the Board of Directors to distribute a cash dividend of QAR 0.65 per share was approved by our shareholders during the AGM held on 11 March 2025. As we pursue our vision to lead the region's digital infrastructure, our focus remains firmly on sustainable growth and long-term value creation. With strong financial foundations, clear strategic direction, and accelerating momentum, we are well-positioned to navigate change, capitalise on growth prospects, and deliver consistent returns for our shareholders.' Also commenting on the results, Aziz Aluthman Fakhroo, CEO of Ooredoo Group, said: 'Ooredoo Group began the year on a strong note underpinned by sustained operational momentum across our markets with a focus on efficiencies and execution of key strategic initiatives. Excluding the impact of the Myanmar exit, Revenue increased by 3% YoY to QAR 5.8 billion and EBITDA grew by 2% to QAR 2.5 billion. EBITDA margin was maintained at 43%. The Group's performance during the quarter was bolstered by strong growth in Kuwait, Algeria and Iraq. The Group's Net Profit increased by 5% to finish the quarter at QAR 960 million, while FCF remains healthy at QAR 2.0 billion. During the quarter, we successfully launched Syntys, a fully independent, carrier-neutral data centre company spun off from Ooredoo after over two years of strategic planning. Syntys is supported by Iron Mountain as a strategic shareholder, to accelerate data centre expansion and support hyperscalers and enterprises in our region's rapidly evolving tech landscape. The achievements in the first quarter are owed to the Ooredoo teams' diligent efforts. Looking ahead, we remain confident in delivering on our full-year guidance and reinforcing our position as the region's leading digital infrastructure provider. Our strong customer base, broad network footprint, and healthy balance sheet provide us with the resilience and flexibility to continue investing in innovation and capture growth opportunities.' Strategic review In Q1 2025, Ooredoo Group continued to execute against its long-term strategic goal of becoming a telecom and infrastructure powerhouse, anchored by five foundational pillars: delivering exceptional customer experience, empowering talent, driving smart telco innovation, strengthening core operations, and maintaining a disciplined, value-focused portfolio. Ooredoo Group is transforming into the region's leading digital infrastructure provider, combining disciplined execution with strategic investments. Our balanced portfolio allows us to focus capital on high-value and high-growth areas that boost our financial performance and give us long-term sustainability. As we look to the remainder of 2025 and beyond, Ooredoo is strategically positioned to lead the next wave of digital transformation across the region. Our multi-asset, infrastructure-driven model — anchored in towers, data centres, sea cable and fibre connectivity, and fintech — will serve as a powerful platform for long-term value creation, innovation, and regional impact. Through disciplined execution and strategic partnerships, we remain committed to unlocking the full potential of the digital economy for our customers, shareholders, and communities. TowerCo Ooredoo Group, Zain Group, and TASC Towers Holding are advancing toward the creation of the region's largest independent tower company, following the signing of definitive agreements in December 2023. The landmark transaction, a cash and share deal, will consolidate approximately 30,000 towers across six MENA markets under a single TowerCo. The focus remains on closing procedures in each jurisdiction, with regulatory approvals serving as a key part of the process. Once operational, the combined TowerCo is set to unlock scale capital and operational efficiencies and drive long-term value creation. Data centres - Syntys Syntys, a newly established carrier-neutral data centre company in the MENA region, was strategically spun off from Ooredoo Group in Q1 2025, positioning itself as a key enabler of the region's digital transformation. Ooredoo made strong progress on the execution of its data centre carve-out, successfully transitioning operations in Qatar, Tunisia, and Kuwait to Syntys, with the full carve-out across remaining markets expected to be completed by the end of 2025. During the quarter, Ooredoo also formed a strategic partnership with Iron Mountain, a global leader in information management and data centre services. As part of the agreement, Iron Mountain acquired a minority equity stake in Syntys. This partnership is expected to accelerate platform scalability and enhance operational efficiency. With a planned investment of USD 1 billion and initial funding of approximately USD 550 million, Syntys is focused on expanding its data centre capacity beyond 120 megawatts. Leveraging the combined strengths of Ooredoo, Iron Mountain, and a highly experienced leadership team, Syntys is strongly positioned to support the region's growing demand for cloud, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital infrastructure solutions. Fintech Ooredoo Financial Technology International (OFTI), our fintech venture, is making meaningful progress in meeting the financial needs of underserved markets. OFTI, established in 2023, is now fully operational in three markets — Qatar, Oman, and the Maldives. A significant portion of revenue is generated through international remittances. To continue its expansion, the company received approval in principle for a license in Tunisia, where it is currently in the build phase. In addition, it is in advanced stages of the regulatory process and continues to explore entry opportunities in Iraq and Kuwait. OFTI is establishing a financial service marketplace through strategic partnerships with industry leaders such as Western Union, PayPal, Visa, QNB, Thunes, and MoneyGram enabling the Company to leverage extensive networks, enhance service offerings, and accelerate market expansion. In February 2025, OFTI partnered with Qatar's Ministry of Commerce and Industry to integrate its services into the national Single Window platform, enhancing business setup processes for SMEs. These initiatives underscore Ooredoo's commitment to advancing financial inclusion and empowering individuals and businesses across the region through innovative fintech solutions. OFTI is a key player in Qatar, processing over USD 6 billion in transactions annually and holding a 20% market share in international remittances. With a vision to create an integrated marketplace, OFTI is focused on unlocking the untapped potential of the MENA digital payment market, aiming to empower individuals and businesses across the region. Sea cable and Fibre Ooredoo is strategically investing in subsea cable infrastructure to become a global connectivity leader. On 30 January 2025, the Group capitalised on the opportunity to build an international submarine cable that connects all the GCC countries and beyond (Qatar, Oman, the UAE, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq) into a single, high-capacity system. The Group has contracted with Alcatel Submarine Networks (ASN) for this build. The 'Fibre In the Gulf' (FIG) project will be the largest subsea cable ever constructed in the GCC, offering a low latency, shorter and secure route to a new corridor connecting Europe. With 24 fibre pairs and a capacity of over 720Tbps, this infrastructure will deliver connectivity benefits to hyperscalers, business customers, governments, AI providers, data centres and telecom operators. As part of the project rollout, the Group secured the first FIG landing point in Kuwait by signing an Administrative License Agreement with Kuwaiti authority CITRA. This reinforces Kuwait's role as a strategic transit hub for global data traffic and underlines Ooredoo's commitment to regional infrastructure leadership. Additionally, Ooredoo signed a Landing Party Agreement with the Iraqi Telecommunications and Post Company (ITPC) to land the FIG cable in Iraq, further expanding the Group's reach into critical corridors linking Asia and Europe. Ooredoo is positioning itself as a key enabler of global connectivity by addressing the surging data demand between Asia and Europe. The FIG project reinforces Ooredoo's digital infrastructure leadership and accelerates the Group's strategic ambitions in AI, cloud, and data services. Financial highlights Revenue Group revenue for the quarter was at QAR 5.8 billion, increasing by 3% YoY, excluding the impact of the Myanmar exit.

Strategic partnership to accelerate expansion of MENA Digital Hub Ooredoo's data centre platform, and support the growth of cloud and AI deployments Iron Mountain's minority equity stake will bring global expertise to optimise operations, accelerate infrastructure development and scalability Partnership to meet the rising demand for colocation, AI, Cloud services and hyperconnectivity in the region DOHA & PORTSMOUTH, N.H., February 13, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ooredoo Group and Iron Mountain today announced a landmark strategic partnership, which will see the global leader in information management services take a minority equity stake in Ooredoo's carrier-neutral data centre company, MENA Digital Hub. The partnership will enable Ooredoo to expand its MENA footprint of hyperscale and AI data centre infrastructure, combining the strength of the company's local development and operational track record with Iron Mountain's global operating expertise. In addition to industry expertise, Iron Mountain will provide MENA Digital Hub with specialised advice in the design, construction and daily operations of data centres to meet evolving global demands. Initial engagement will focus on operational support, infrastructure enhancement and supporting MENA Digital Hub's existing plans to further expand its data centre capacity across key markets in the MENA region. The investment by Iron Mountain into Ooredoo's data centre platform is a testament to the growing attractiveness of the MENA region for digital infrastructure with superior growth driven by cloud services and AI and the ability to leverage globally differentiated access to power and governmental support. The platform will be uniquely positioned to further capitalize on its existing infrastructure to capture an increasing share of the fast-expanding demand, while ensuring continuous compliance with local and international regulations. Aziz Aluthman Fakhroo, Group CEO, Ooredoo, commented: "We are excited to work with Iron Mountain, leveraging their deep expertise in hyperscaler data centres to enhance MENA Digital Hub's capabilities and drive the growth of AI-enabler data centres in the region.

With data centres across five markets, Ooredoo continues to lead the MENA region's data centre market.
