Foreword
Subsequent to the reporting period, geopolitical developments in the Middle East have led to an immediate and significant increase in European natural gas prices of approximately 60%, resulting in materially higher production costs for nitrogen producers, and heightened market volatility. While fertilizer prices, including nitrates have also increased, and AdBlue (DEF) prices are tracking urea, there is typically a timing lag between changes in feedstock costs and realized selling prices. Given the rapidly evolving situation, visibility on the duration of elevated gas prices and the sustainability of higher fertilizer pricing remains limited. As such, it remains too early to determine the effects on OCI Nitrogen (OCIN), including the extent of cost recovery, and whether these price increases will be sufficient to offset higher production costs partially or fully.
Hassan Badrawi, CEO of OCI Global commented:
"2025 marked the 75-year anniversary of OCI including its predecessor. During this period, the company's activities have spanned sectors including construction, select infrastructure, various building materials, cement, nitrogen fertilizers, melamine, methanol and biomethanol, and blue ammonia. OCI's most recent strategic review has generated gross proceeds of USD 11.9 billion to date, which - combined with operating cash flows - has enabled approximately USD 7 billion (EUR 31 per share equivalent) in shareholder distributions over the past four years.
In June 2025, we closed the sale of our global methanol business to Methanex Corporation. In late December, the Beaumont New Ammonia facility achieved the major milestone of first ammonia production, and today we are close to achieving Project Completion, at which time the facility will shortly thereafter be formally handed over to Woodside Energy. In November, we reached an agreement to divest OCI's ammonia distribution and terminal business to AGROFERT, a significant European nitrogen products manufacturer, with closing expected in H1 2026. Our objective remains to effect a strategic sale of the remaining OCI Nitrogen business.
In September 2025, we announced our intention to pursue a potential combination with Orascom Construction to establish a scalable infrastructure and investment platform anchored in Abu Dhabi. Agreement on the envisaged combination was reached on 9 December 2025, subject to customary conditions including shareholder approval.
In early January 2026, the Dutch association for retail shareholders (the "VEB") and a number of other shareholders petitioned the Enterprise Chamber of the Amsterdam Court of Appeals for an inquiry into the course of events and to take measures to prevent the transaction from being carried out in the short term. The Court has issued a preliminary ruling temporarily prohibiting a shareholder vote on the transaction and appointing two independent non-executive directors. These directors have the specific task of ensuring that the board of OCI, in the context of the contemplated transaction, or a similar transaction with Orascom, complies with its statutory duties, including towards minority shareholders. Only with the consent of the two court-appointed directors, the envisaged combination, or a similar transaction with Orascom Construction, can be submitted for approval of the general meeting. While the proceedings remain ongoing, the Company will communicate to stakeholders as appropriate. A decision on whether an inquiry will be ordered is subject to further proceedings."

These non-IFRS measures of financial performance (also known as non-GAAP or alternative performance measures) are presented because management considers them important supplemental measures of OCI's performance and believes that similar measures are widely used in the industry in which OCI operates. 2 Free cash flow is an APM that is calculated as cash from operations less maintenance capital expenditures less distributions to non-controlling interests plus dividends from equity accounted investees, and before growth capital expenditures and lease payments.
