Securing and successfully launching in Saudi Arabia: TMG Saudi Arabia secured and launched Banan City east of Riyadh, a 10 million sqm mixed used development that is estimated to generate sales of USD[12] billion. Since its launch in 2024 and until 31 March 2025, Banan City has attracted unprecedented interest from Saudi customers and generated sales of SAR[6] billion (equivalent to USD[1.6] billion), representing one of the highest sales figures by a private sector developer in Riyadh
3. Oman expansion: In May 2025, in order to push forward with TMG Saudi Arabia’s growth, it has secured [4.9] million sqm land bank in the Sultanate of Oman across two mixed-use projects which are expected to generate USD[4.7] billion of sales over the lifespan of the projects and USD[54.8] million in annual recurring income.

Iraq market entry MOU: On 25 May 2025, a fully owned subsidiary of TMG Saudi Arabia has entered into an MOU to develop 14 million sqm mixed use project in Iraq that is expected to generate total sales of USD[17] billion and recurring income of USD[1.5] billion per annum upon project completion. This is an opportunity that has been identified and understudy by the Group for the last year, and given the strong recovery of the Iraqi economy and the supply gap of quality residential offerings in the market, TMG believes it is best positioned to exploit this attractive opportunity achieve deliver compelling returns from its expansion into Iraq.
5. Successful off-plan model to limit funding needs for the regional projects: Given the successful and well-tested off-plan self financing model followed by TMG Holding, the new regional developments and projects secured under TMG Saudi Arabia are structured in a manner whereby they not expected to require any significant upfront investments ahead of their launch.
6. TMG Saudi Arabia as the launchpad for regional growth and value creation: It is important to note that to date TMG Saudi Arabia has been well equipped with a strong management, resources’ base and talent pool from TMG Holding and from the local markets leveraging the vision, TMG’s powerful brand equity and track record of TMG Holding leadership. TMG Saudi Arabia will be a main pillar of value creation for TMG Holding and its shareholder, and it will continue to assess opportunities for growth serving as the launchpad for further growth across the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Arab World. TMG Holding leadership will continue to be focused on venues for creating value for its shareholders at the right timing and when opportunities present themselves, similar to the success that it has achieved with ICON, its hospitality platform that has now been positioned as the market leading player in the premium hospitality segment in Egypt’s fast growing tourism market.

Besides the substantial growth in USD cashflows witnessed in ICON with the total consolidated revenues of ICON reaching USD255 million in 2024, the expansion into regional markets through attractive opportunities further enhances the Group’s foreign exchange generation capabilities and recurring income portfolio, hedge investor returns against any potential local currency fluctuations and further strengthen the company’s position as the pioneer and leader in providing innovative and high-quality real estate and tourism products and services in the broader Middle East region. .
