Orascom Development Holding (ODH) records a 22.2% increase in revenues over last year, bottom line, in line with earlier communicated guidance, was impacted by the increase from losses of associates, one time provisions and foreign exchange losses Revenues increased by 22.2% to reach CHF 306.1 compared to CHF 250.5 million in FY 2014. Adjusted EBITDA reached CHF 80.8 million, a 228.5% increase from the CHF 24.6 million recorded in FY 2014. Net loss of CHF 19.0 million mainly impacted by the increase in ODH s share of losses from Andermatt Swiss Alps (ASA) and Orascom Housing Communities (OHC). Achieved the net sales target of the year for our Egyptian subsidiary of CHF 75.0 million. Total contracted sales for the Group reached CHF 106.3 million compared to CHF 87.6 million in FY 2014. Hotels segment closed the year positively, with a fall back starting 4Q 2015 as a result of the aircraft crash in the Sinai peninsula and the continuous travel bans on Taba, Egypt. Re-negotiating the refinancing package in Egypt, taking a 3 years grace period on principal and interest, to be finalized by Q2 2016. Altdorf, 14 April 2016 Orascom Development Holding (ODH) revenues increased by 22.2% to CHF 306.1 million compared to CHF 250.5 million in FY 2014. The increase in revenues was mainly driven by the positive contribution of the Group's largest subsidiary, Orascom Hotels and Development (OHD), the new hotel opening in Oman and the delivery of the first 10 apartment buildings in Montenegro. Adjusted EBITDA, increased by 228.5% to reach CHF 80.8 million compared to CHF 24.6 million in FY 2014 mainly because of the high margins associated with the land sub-development agreements. During 2015, we signed two new sub-development agreements to sub-develop 110,196 m 2 of land in El Gouna for a total value of USD 22.0 million. The net losses attributable to the shareholders of the company reached CHF 19.0 million, The main contributors to the bottom-line losses include: (i) the increase in ODH's share of losses from Andermatt Swiss Alps (ASA) and Orascom Housing Communities (OHC), the Group's largest associate (non-consolidated) companies; (ii) the decrease in the profitability of the hotel's segment in Egypt as a result of the continued travel bans on Taba and the negative consequences of the plane crash in the Sinai Peninsula. (iii) prudence-related additional one-time provisions (iv) and foreign exchange losses due to weakening of the CHF and the devaluation of the EGP. Adjusted EBITDA, Margin (CHFmn,%) 9.8% 25 Revenue (CHFmn) 251 26.4% 81 306 Real Estate: Sales witnessed an increase of 21.3% over the same period last year reaching CHF 106.3 million compared to CHF 87.6 million in FY 2014. The boost was mainly driven by the significant increase in El Gouna sales reaching CHF 82.9 million in compared to CHF 48.7 million in FY 2014. In 2015, 4 new diversified projects in El Gouna with a total sellable inventory of USD 93.4 mn, were successfully launched. Controlling construction costs and speeding up its progress continues to be our focuses of the year, which will allow earlier recognition of revenues and earlier cash collection of the 10% client delivery payment. We are planning to deliver Joubal lagoon project in El Gouna, launched back in November 2014, during Q2 2016, 6 months ahead of schedule. 1
We have reached 75% of construction for the Byoum hotel in Fayoum, and expecting the opening to be during Q3 2016. Ongoing efforts were taken in developing our Omani destinations, adding to the destinations livelihood to ultimately drive up real estate sales. We handed over 29 real estate units in Sifah and Salalah, finalizing the construction of the 9 holes golf course and working on a new marketing and positioning campaign for Salalah and Sifah. Demand for our Lustica Bay, Montenegro destination has continued to see pickup and the project has attracted a host of global buyers. 2015 witnessed the completion of Lustica s first 10 apartment buildings in the Marina Village, welcoming Lustica s first residents and commencing the first operational summer season. Real Estate segment revenue reached CHF 66.4 million vs. CHF 72.9 million in FY 2014. Total deferred revenue from real estate that is yet to be recognized until 2018 reached CHF 147.0 million in compared to CHF 151.0 million in FY 2014. Hotels: Completed the 700-room phase I of our hotel development plan in Oman, with segment revenues increasing by 4.5% to reach CHF 124.2 million (FY 2014: CHF 118.9 million), yet bottom-line results were negatively impacted by the plane crash in Egypt during Q4 2015. In Egypt, the optimization strategies that we applied in 2014 across our hotel portfolio, and the relatively strong performance of the first 9 months, contributed to a successful operation of the segment up until September 2015. Those strategies helped us close the year positively and limited the magnitude of the challenges that the world s tourism sector has witnessed in 2015 especially after the Russian aircraft incident that took place in October and the shootings that took place in Paris in November 2015. El Gouna continued to benefit from its safe haven and has been outperforming its competitors, closing the year at an occupancy of 68% compared to 60% in 2014. Makadi, operated at 30% of its capacity, after closing down 2 out of the 3 hotels we own. In Taba, we took some drastic measures to stop the bleeding of the destination and have shut down 5 out of the 6 hotels, only keeping the Sofitel hotel open (442 rooms). Our hotels in Oman witnessed a notable year-on-year growth. Occupancy grew from 33% to 51% and GOP PAR grew from CHF 3 to CHF 18. Salalah Beach, marked the completion of the 700-room phase one milestone of our Omani hotel development plan with the opening of Al Fanar Hotel & Residence, a 218-room, four star hotel. The hotel had its soft launch mid December 2015 with an occupancy of 46% and is now running at an average occupancy of 81% in Q1 2016. Oman is now home to 767 rooms representing 10% of the total Group s inventory. In the UAE, the cut in the number of rooms affected the reported figures. 14% of the total Cove hotel inventory, was used as a housing facility for the Hotel s senior staff in replacement of the Housing Complex that was being renovated to serve as an extension for the Hotel. The new Housing facility was re-opened in November 2015. Adjusted EBITDA for the segment was within the same range of last year, reaching CHF 18.1 million compared to CHF 18.2 million in FY 2014. However, the segment s profitability was still negatively affected by the ongoing bans in Taba Heights along with the airplane crash incident. The net losses generated from Taba Heights hotels alone amounted to CHF 10.7 million. 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 Value of Contracted Units (CHF mn) 88 Value of Deferred Income (CHF mn) 151 106 147 Hotels Financials (CHFmn) 119 124 18 18 Revenues Adj.EBITDA 2

The Board of Directors also announced that it has appointed Mr. Khaled Bichara as the new CEO effective 1 January 2016. Outlook for FY 2016 Corporate After having received approvals from all banks in Egypt on the initial rescheduling agreement to get a 2 years grace period, the Central Bank of Egypt issued a new initiative allowing tourism companies to obtain a 3 years grace period on principal and interest. We are now capitalizing on this initiative and re-negotiating with the banks to get a better deal which we expect to finalize by Q2 2016. Real Estate We will continue executing our new development strategy, offering a wider range of products across our destinations. In Egypt, we launched the Fanadir Bay project, in El Gouna, with a total inventory of USD 60.0 million. We will also launch new products in Fayoum with a total inventory of USD 3.9 million and are currently finalizing the design for the Clubhouse in Makadi, to commence construction by Q2 2016. We are also studying the possibility of entering the first and second home markets in Cairo and the North Coast. In Oman, we are revisiting Jebel Sifah s master plan and are planning to introduce two product types during Q4 2016. We are also planning to start the construction of a new waterpark in Salalah Beach towards the end of the year with a capacity to hold up to 1,500 visitors. In Montenegro, we are progressing with the construction of the main marina works and have commenced on the next group of apartment buildings (F & G Buildings) and the exclusive Marina Villas. The F Buildings foresees the development of eight new buildings with 45 residential units, expected to be completed during 2016. Hotels On track with the construction of Ancient Sands hotel in El Gouna, and Byoum hotel in Fayoum, planned to open in Q2 and Q3 2016, respectively. We are studying the implementation of strict cost cutting measures across our hotels in Egypt, from centralization of services to suspension of operations at some hotels. We plan to capitalize on the high potentiality of Oman, especially after the significant demand that was witnessed during the ITB Berlin conference and are currently looking to add 80 more rooms in Al Fanar hotel & Residence in Salalah Beach. In the UAE, we are finalizing the construction of The Cove Rotana extension, adding 145 rooms to be opened during 2016. Finally in Montenegro, we are planning for the construction of the Promenade Condominium Hotel, planned to commence operation during the summer of 2018.
